49ers lose Pro Bowl DT for rest of season due to injury
The 49ers continue to get hit with injuries. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave suffered a partially torn triceps during Sunday's loss to the Rams, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters (per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner). Hargrave is expected to miss the rest of the season.
“It’s a big one and I thought he had his best game yesterday,” Shanahan said of the injury (via Matt Barrows of The Athletic). “I thought he was a huge factor.”
Hargrave actually got into a season-high 39 defensive snaps on Sunday. The defensive tackle collected his first sack of the season on Matthew Stafford, adding to the 44.5 sacks he’s complied throughout his career.
Following a two-year stretch with the Eagles where he collected 18.5 sacks, Hargrave caught on with the 49ers last offseason. He proceeded to start all 16 of his appearances with San Francisco, compiling 44 tackles and seven sacks en route to his second career Pro Bowl nod. Hargrave also started each of the team’s three playoff games. The 31-year-old started each of the team’s first three games in 2024.
The 49ers do have a bit of depth at defensive tackle, with Maliek Collins already rotating (or often playing alongside) Hargrave. Jordan Elliott and/or Kevin Givens could be in line for more snaps, and the 49ers could also turn to the likes of Sam Okuayinonu and practice squad DT T.Y. McGill.
Elsewhere on the injury front, Shanahan told reporters that Christian McCaffrey will travel to Germany this weekend to visit with a foot specialist (via Wagoner). The star running back has been sidelined with a pesky Achilles injury, and Wagoner says the player is expected to spend a few days in Germany hoping to get some kind of resolution.
