The 49ers just lost their fullback Kyle Juszczyk to a knee injury early in the fourth quarter, and he’s officially ruled out for the rest of their Sunday afternoon game against the Broncos. This is huge, especially with the 49ers desperately trying to hold onto a shrinking 17-14 lead with only 4:05 left to play.
The Injury Report Is Brutal for Both Sides
It’s not just Juszczyk; the 49ers are also dealing with cornerback Upton Stout being questionable to return because of a shoulder injury. Losing key players when you’re trying to seal a win is never a good sign. But hey, the Broncos aren’t exactly unscathed either. They’ve got their own problems with cornerbacks Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss both ruled out for the game. Plus, wide receiver Pat Bryant is questionable to return with an ankle injury. Seriously, this game is a war of attrition!
A Three-Point Game in the Final Minutes
Despite all those hits, the Broncos are clearly fighting back hard. Jaylen Waddle snagged his first touchdown as a Bronco, which cut the 49ers’ lead to 17-12. Then, running back Tyler Badie converted on a run, making it a mere three-point game at 17-14. With only 4:05 left on the clock, this one is coming down to the wire, and the 49ers are just trying to hang on for the win against a charging Broncos squad.
