SIC Roundup: Key Injury Insights from Week 6

Christian McCaffrey - SIC score 81

Injury: oblique

Impact: Ruled out with oblique injury - returned to the game for one run in second half but then went to locker room and ruled out - concerning for his availability next Monday against Vikings - not long term but will bother him in the short term

Week 7 Opponent: Minnesota Vikings

Justin Fields - SIC score 53

Injury: Right thumb

Impact: Unlikely to play in W7 as it will be difficult to grip and throw with his dislocated right thumb - suffered injury on incompletion early in the third quarter when his body rolled over his hand - Tyson Bagent is next in line at QB

Week 7 Opponent: Las Vegas Raiders

Deebo Samuel - SIC score 76

Injury: right shoulder

Impact: Ruled out with a right shoulder injury - possibly injured in the middle of the first quarter when he landed hard on a rush attempt - video didn't show clear injury mechanism

Week 7 Opponent: Minnesota Vikings

Cooper Kupp - SIC score 88

Injury: Right ankle

Impact: By video, minor inversion right ankle sprain - returned to game and finished with 7 catches for 148 yards and a touchdown - same side as 2022 high ankle sprain but won’t be a long-term issue

Week 7 Opponent: Pittsburgh Steelers

Trevor Lawrence - SIC score 86

Injury: Left knee

Impact: By video, minor left knee tweak on a sack late in the fourth quarter - knee twisted on gator roll - post game he said there was some bruising - reasonable chance to play Thursday against the Saints

Week 7 Opponent: New Orleans Saints

Kyren Williams - SIC score 84

Injury: right ankle

Impact: Questionable to return with an ankle injury - injury mechanism unclear as he was in a pile - hopefully the lopsided score was more of a factor in him not returning

Week 7 Opponent: Pittsburgh Steelers

Garrett Wilson - SIC score 85

Injury: Right ankle

Impact: Returned to game - by video, minor right inversion ankle sprain - reaggravation of July 27th injury but should be less damage

Week 7 Opponent: Bye 

Trent Williams - SIC score 67

Injury: Right ankle

Impact: By video, likely right high ankle sprain with possibility of MCL sprain - returned to the game but had limited effectiveness and 49ers had to chip on his side - missed 3 games last year but avoided IR

Week 7 Opponent: Minnesota Vikings

Jimmy Garoppolo - SIC score 44

Injury: Back

Impact: Transported to hospital likely to rule out injury to internal organs - ruled out with a back injury he suffered just before halftime - Brian Hoyer in at QB

Week 7 Opponent: Chicago Bears

Week 7 Opponent: Buffalo Bills

Ryan Tannehill - SIC score 63

Injury: Right ankle

Impact: Did not return and was replaced by Malik Willis - by video, worry for mild right high ankle sprain early in the third quarter - same ankle as season-ending high ankle sprain last season

Lane Johnson - SIC score 68

Injury: Right ankle

Impact: By video, right high ankle component - now ruled out - opposite side as past ankle troubles - key status to watch ahead of Week 7 matchup against Dolphins
