49ers' Isaac Guerendo Suffers Knee and Ankle Injury in Season Finale
The rookie running back was carted off the field during the first quarter, capping a challenging season for San Francisco.
- Isaac Guerendo, a fourth-round rookie running back, sustained a knee and ankle injury early in the 49ers' Week 18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and was immediately ruled out of the game.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Guerendo likely suffered an MCL sprain but further testing is needed to rule out an ACL injury.
- Guerendo finished his rookie season with 415 rushing yards and four touchdowns, stepping into a lead role due to injuries in the 49ers' running back rotation.
- The game also saw Jauan Jennings ejected in the second quarter after two consecutive personal fouls during blocking plays, leaving him just 25 yards shy of a career milestone of 1,000 receiving yards.
- The 49ers concluded their season with a 6-11 record and will hold the 11th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
