49ers fear WR Jalen Hurd tore ACL

Aug 17, 2020

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported second-year wideout Jalen Hurd is undergoing an MRI after suffering what's believed to be a major knee injury during Sunday's practice, and "the fear is the test will reveal a torn ACL," which would likely sideline Hurd for all of 2020.

Fantasy Impact:

Hurd initially appeared to injure his foot while working on a field away from the rest of the receivers on Sunday, according to Sports Illustrated's Grant Cohn, and others indicated the former second-round draft pick even returned to the field for team drills later in the practice. Either way, the young pass catcher's absence marks just the latest blow to an already depth-tested receiving corps, the story said.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
