What does that tell you about how the 49ers feel about Jackson?
CrimsonCrew wrote:Jackson appears to be coming along, but he isn't there yet and may not get there. Hard to say how much the injury had to do with that. Ferrell is a solid player, but he's never going to be an impact pass rusher. Bryant has flashed a couple times in preseason, but it's against backups. Beal hasn't really played at all.
Adding a guy like Hunter would be a pretty dramatic improvement for this team. Though Hunter signed a new contract that appears to have a pretty odd structure. I don't know that they can realistically trade him. And he would be fairly expensive for the Niners. I would rather just add Melvin Ingram for 1/2 to 1/3 the cost and without having to work out a trade.

I think there's a good chance he'll right the ship, but this is all part of why drafting a kicker in the third round doesn't make sense. The track record for rookie kickers is awful. Should have taken an OT and stuck with Gonzalez....

That is not happening.

Which part? Season-ending IR? It would be the peak of irony if it did...

Perhaps, but the one kickoff that Gonzalez handled against the Broncos barely reached the 10-yard line and was returned to midfield. Giving up field position is something we need to avoid in the regular season.

No different than Gould over the past few years.

Correct, but if we couldn't retain/afford Gould, the hope was that we could find a stronger leg than a 40-year old.

Samurai wrote:Cameron Latu has a torn meniscus and will require surgery. A solid TE needs to do more than drop passes so its hard for me to imagine that he has earned a roster spot so my guess is he would be a candidate for the season-ending IR. Looks like that clears a little of the logjam that the team was looking at in the TE room.
Other injuries include: Tayler Hawkins (S) has a broken hand and needs surgery.
AJ Parker (CB) has a hammy and will miss a few weeks.
Jordan Mason (foot) and Chris Conley (shoulder) are day-to-day.
And - shocker - Elijah Mitchell was forced to miss a week due to a tight adductor. His third injury since June. If Superman is called the Man of Steel, Mitchell has laid claim to the title Man of Kleenex.
