49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan announced on Wednesday that RB Tevin Coleman will be placed on injured reserve and miss at least four weeks.
Fantasy Impact:
Coleman had been working behind Raheem Mostert, who is also banged up heading into Week 3. Mostert looks doubtful at best for this week's matchup with the Giants, so the 49ers backfield will likely consist of Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson on Sunday. McKinnon has looked good as a receiving back so far this season in his return from a serious knee injury, so he will likely retain pass-catching duties while Wilson runs the ball on early downs.
