An MRI on Kyle Jusczyk’s knee revealed a sprain and bone bruise that now is expected to sideline him 2-3 weeks, per sour Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: MRI confirmed a knee sprain and bone bruise. The expected absence is 2-3 weeks.

Why it matters: San Francisco uses its fullback in short-yardage sets and pass protection. The absence forces a personnel adjustment in the backfield rotation.

What to watch: Watch who fills the fullback role and practice participation for return timing.
