Story summary

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk suffered a potentially serious knee injury during Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. He was tackled at his knees by Broncos cornerback Jahdae Barron, causing his right knee to hyperextend backwards, an alarming sight that raised concerns about a torn ACL. Juszczyk remained on the field for several minutes before being assisted off by 49ers trainers. According to coach Kyle Shanahan’s post-game update, initial assessments suggest Juszczyk may have sustained only a knee sprain rather than a severe tear, with his ACL appearing intact. However, a definitive diagnosis will not be available until Monday.
