Kyle Shanah toward the 49ers sideline and https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jaquiski-Tartt-Jersey , rather than safely duck out of bounds, stepped back to his right and took a wicked shot from Steven Nelson.At first, the San Francisco coach thought his quarterback had sustained a concussion.Turns out it may have been a season-ending knee injury.Garoppolo’s left knee buckled just before the Chiefs‘ cornerback delivered a shoulder-to-shoulder blow, and that was the reason he went down so hard. Garoppolo was on the turf for a couple of minutes before he was helped to his feet and eventually carted off late in a 38-27 loss to Kansas City.“We fear an ACL,” Shanahan said afterward. “We’ll find out more tomorrow.”That’s bad news for the banged-up 49ers (1-2), who already lost top running back Jerick McKinnon to a season-ending knee injury and only have two other quarterbacks on the roster.C.J. Beathard took over for Garoppolo with just over five minutes left Sunday, and he appeared to throw a touchdown pass to George Kittle before offensive pass interference wiped it out. San Francisco had to kick a field goal and that wound up being the final margin.Now, Beathard is in line to start next week when the 49ers play the Chargers in Los Angeles, and Nick Mullens could get a call-up from the practice squad to serve as the backup.“Any time you lose your starting quarterback, that’s a big deal. It was when we lost our starting running back, too,” Shanahan said. “Feel for him personally. I know how disappointed he is.”Beathard said he spoke to Garoppolo briefly in the trainer’s room, and what little of their exchange he was willing to repeat made it quite clear the 49ers’ franchise quarterback 鈥?who signed a five-year, $137.5 million extension in February 鈥?expects his season to be over.“I told him I’ll be praying for him and I love him and he just told me to lead these guys,” Beathard said. “I’ve never been in that situation with something possibly that serious. I can only imagine how tough it is for him this early in the season.”It’s also a big blow for the 49ers, who thought they had the pieces to contend for a playoff spot his season. Now, they’ve lost two of their most important offensive pieces, to say nothing of a series of injuries on defense Sunday that left them with a piecemeal backfield.Top cornerback Richard Sherman went down with a calf injury Mike Person Jersey , while backup Tarvarius Moore left with a wrist injury. Strong safety Jaquiski Tartt was inactive with a shoulder injury and free safety Adrian Colbert hurt his ankle, forcing a bunch of backups to play significant snaps.Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes wound up handling them for 314 yards passing and three TDs.“They do a lot of things. They use their personnel well. They have a lot of guys that are interchangeable and have a lot of tools,” said backup safety Antone Exum Jr. “It’s a team you have to stay disciplined on and play your assignment.”Still, the 49ers leaned on running backs Alfred Morris and Matt Breida and the strong arm of their quarterback to mount a comeback. And after Garoppolo’s TD toss to Marquis Goodwin in the third quarter made it 35-24, there was a sense of optimism on the San Francisco sideline.The 49ers were still trailing 38-24 when Garoppolo led them inside the Kansas City 5 in the final minutes. The Chiefs answered with sacks by Allen Bailey and Justin Houston on consecutive plays, then flushed Garoppolo from the pocket on third-and-goal from the 20-yard line.That’s when the San Francisco quarterback headed for the sideline, decided to stay in play rather step out of bounds, and ultimately put the rest of the 49ers’ season in question.“Just like we always do, you show up to work tomorrow,” Shanahan said. “We’ll all be men about it. We’ll grade the tape hard and see what we did wrong. And when we show up Wednesday it’s time to go.“It’s part of the NFL season. It’s what you have to do,” he added. “We all feel for Jimmy. There’s no doubt about it. We dealt with this with our running back, too. It’s part of the NFL. We’re not the first team this has happened to.”___ With the 49ers whiffing on the likes of Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Jr, and even Tyrell Williams, they should look to the draft to secure a player who can eventually fit the mold of being a number one threat - San Francisco may find the answer in N’Keal Harry."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 49ers Salary CapLevi’s Stadium Events49ers Transactions49ers Injury News49ers Press Conferences & Conference CallsNFL DraftNFL Draft Scouting Reports2019 NFL Draft: 49ers picks, mock drafts, news Patrick Willis Color Rush Jersey , rumors, analysisNFL Draft Profile: N’Keal HarryNew,107commentsWith the 49ers whiffing on the likes of Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Jr, and even Tyrell Williams, they should look to the draft to secure a player who can eventually fit the mold of being a number one threat - San Francisco may find the answer in N’Keal Harry.PDTShareTweetShareShareNFL Draft Profile: N’Keal HarryMark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe NFL, apparently, has taken a page out of the NBA’s playbook by having one of the most frenzied openings to a free agency period in recent memory. For real, guys, we have general managers all over the league pulling stuff that isn’t even possible on Madden - I’ve personally tried executing the trades that sent Odell Beckham, Jr and Antonio Brown to Cleveland and Oakland, respectively, and they did not go through (which is far and away the most securely scientific method to accurately determine the value of a trade, you know?).The 49ers took a shot at OBJ and whiffed. There was reported interest in Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams but, alas, nothing happened. They just released Pierre Garcon, a player who provided leadership in the locker room but was not able to stay healthy to make enough of a difference on the field. Dante Pettis shows a ton of promise and is poised for a breakout campaign in 2019. Marquise Goodwin is a speedster and has been reliable but lacks the size desired to be a true number one. The answer for San Francisco may lay within the realms of round 2 of the NFL Draft: enter former Arizona State Sun Devil N’Keal Harry. NFL Combine ResultsHarry was highly productive in college; he showed a knack for both securing contested catches and having enough breakaway speed to make defenses second-guess pressing him at the line of scrimmage. Heading into the Combine there were questions about his speed - that he would be unable to showcase the same burst that he did in college. Largely due to the fact that NFL defenses are https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerick-Mckinnon-Jersey , nowadays, extremely fast. He showed out at the Combine, though. Running an official 4.53 40 time - well above what was projected for him. Here is a list of the rest of his results from Indianapolis:Height: 6’2” Weight: 228 lbs Hands: 9.5 inches Arms: 33 inches40 Time: 4.53 Bench Press: 27 Reps Vertical Jump: 38.5 inches Broad Jump: 122 inchesAs previously mentioned, Harry wasn’t projected to run well at the Combine. The fact that he did should have scouts revisiting his tape to more accurately project his draft stock. There are many things working in N’Keal Harry’s favor, including great receiving ability (strong hands, able to get to the ball at its highest point, able to catch balls in traffic, etc).Upon first glance it may appear as if Harry does not possess the speed to breakaway from defenders. It gets to a point, though, where he is actually able to turn on the jets and get past the secondary to make a big play.His ability to get downfield and go over the top is significant. This pass was a tad bit overthrown - which it probably needed to be - but Harry was still able to extend and pull the pass in. Again, more proof (if you needed it) of Harry’s ability to make adjustments while the ball is in the air and pull it down for a big reception. San Francisco has sorely lacked a presence like this - especially in the red zone - so having him line up opposite Dante Pettis would go a long way in the offense improving like many think it can in 2019. At the end of the day, it’s evident that N’Keal Harry has the competitive toughness needed to succeed at the next level. He sheds tacklers with ease and transitions into a blocker with effectiveness; he plays ready with the hands to punch and establish a hand fit on defensive backs. He also has an extremely high football IQ - he’s aware of his positioning on the field at all times, which makes it easier for him to make plays along the sideline. He has also shown a knack for being able to sell false steps to defenders before breaking into open space against off coverage.Is He a Good Fit?The question comes down to whether or not he would be a good fit for Kyle Shanahan’s offense. He projects favorably as a prototypical X-receiver as his size, sneaky speed, and contested catch skills give him the ability of defeating press coverage combine to offer an impressive package of traits, especially when considering the versatility Harry brings to an offense as a RAC receiver, deep threat and as a red-zone target. Lining up opposite Dante Pettis and George Kittle could potentially put this offense over the top and into the wild card conversation. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
