The San Francisco 49ers are facing a significant challenge after defensive lineman Javon Hargrave was injured, likely sidelining him for the rest of the 2024 NFL season following a triceps tear during a game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed his disappointment, highlighting Hargrave's impressive performance prior to the injury. The team is exploring potential replacements from their practice squad and considering options outside the organization, while managing their salary cap prudently.
