BIG 49ers Injury Update: Ricky Pearsall, Jon Feliciano, Talanoa Hufanga, Isaac Guerendo + more 🤕

Jon Feliciano we have a pretty substantial injury update coming to you as Kyle Shanahan spoke to local media about all the happenings around the San Francisco 49ers and as a theme that has started at the very beginning of the year with injuries has unfortunately continued as we inch closer and closer to the regular season so as we know there's been a bunch of injuries on the 49ers offensive line Jonathan Feliciano who was injured in the Super Bowl and wasn't able to finish the game kind of came into this year with a similar kind of knee issue and he was in and out of practice all throughout honestly he to me he never really looked the same as what we had come to expect from him which earned him that starting role in the Super Bowl and so he was kind of in and out of 49ers training camp and it was reported by Kyle Shanahan that Jonathan Fano has officially had knee surgery that he will start the year on injured reserve and this will likely push him into the season now there's new rules with the 40 uh not just with the 49ers but with the NFL is that you can place players on injured reserve and it won't end their season whereas prior if you were put on IR before the final 53 man roster was cut your season would be done so there is a potential that he can return mid year this feels like it opens up the door for obviously Dominic puny to start but guys like Nick zel who I think has solidified himself on this rosters so with how zakel has been performing how he's been rotating in with the ones I do believe zakel has beat out Ben B so Nick zakel I think slides into Jonathan Feliciano's role and obviously we do have a Spencer berford update coming up shortly as well in this video so let's uh get into that but obviously unfortunate situation for Feliciano who honestly I thought at the beginning of the year was going to be pegged as your starting Right Guard just based on what he did last year how he finished the season but of course uh dealing with injuries and won't have the opportunity to do so but let's talk about some Isaac Guerendo players who have come back to practice as you can see this is from David Lombardi of the athletic uh you see pictured here Isaac gendo I have yet to see Isaac gendo play uh as a 49er so I cover all of training camp obviously we're uh two weeks into pre-season one more preseason game left we haven't seen Isaac gendo other than uh the very start of training camp before it was open and then uh during uh mandatory mini camp OTAs that situation so we haven't seen Isaac Reno in a long time so it is positive that Isaac greno will be returning to practice today after dealing with the hamstring injury you could also see it reported from David that Ben B is returning Spencer berford uh at least doing individual drills which is a good sign because as we know Spencer berford had broken his uh looked like either his hand or fingers somewhere in this area he kind of had a half cast throughout training camp the interesting thing with berford is berford would gear up he would wrap his hand and he would go through the initial kind of warm-up period of training camp and then he would just go off to the side and work out but in full pads full gear uh but he didn't participate so I found that to be an interesting setup for him uh maybe it's just to kind of stay in that routine stay keeping your and doing the work keeping your body fresh I would imagine is part of it so it is a promising sign that Spencer Burford is at least returning to individual drills which is a step up from where he was during uh the open portion of training camp so Spencer berford is going to be an interesting uh you know part of this whole equation obviously we know that Aaron Banks is injured so he broke his pinky so just dealing with a bunch of injuries on the interior up front and the fact that Dominic puny has turned into what he is is a huge huge relief because the 49ers would be in some serious trouble uh without puny available right now running back Patrick Taylor will also return to practice uh we also got some additional updates as well you will see that taleno Talanoa Hufanga huanga um will not return to practice so there was hope that Hua uh was going to be able to get cleared last week and return this week it doesn't I it's it's not clear if he actually didn't clear the testing or not but the way that Kyle Shanahan has explained it is taleno huanga won't practice this week he won't play uh in the game but that doesn't mean that kind of puts him on the shelf for week one k shanan said there's still a good chance that teleno huanga suits up for that week one Sunday Night Football matchup against the Jets so there is at least a little optimism surrounding taloh hu funga also understanding that he isn't going to be practicing this week so unfortunate with that situation and I think the one that is probably the most unfortunate at this point is Ricky piol the San Francisco 49ers first round draft pick uh appears to be slated to miss the entire pre-season with the shoulder injury uh that he sustained U at practice during training camp so this is just unfortunate because I know that everyone wants to see Ricky Ricky Pearsall piol out there I've obviously got been able to get eyes on at training camp and you can see what he brings to the table Chris brat Runner strong hands um you know he's a rookie so you want these rookies to go out there and get their reps and find their feel for the NFL game and and the speed of it and you know building that camaraderie and and rapport with your not only your quarterback but your other teammates so it's just been an unfortunate situation for Ricky and again like he's being tagged by 49er fans as being injury-prone but when you look at Ricky coming in he played five years of college ball and he didn't miss a single game so the fact that we are all that he's already uh basically going to miss uh the three preseason games um I wouldn't say is in line with what we've seen from him I know 49er fans have a lot of PTSD surrounding injuries um and things like that so we know that Pier Soul has had three separate injuries so far to start his 49 or tenure and so fans are are quick to hop on that particular narrative I think we just have to give this guy some leash to be able to get get healthy and then once he gets healthy we see how he operates throughout a full season and give him some time then I think that would be the appropriate way to before we like start slinging any type of names or like uh categorizing him as a certain way I think obviously yes you want him to stay healthy availability is the best ability in the NFL we understand this um but it's still really early on and I think we just have to be patient uh I know it's probably eating him up inside he's probably going crazy uh all he you know we know and everything we've heard about him he's a hard worker so he just probably wants to get out there and work he wants to go out there be a part of his uh be with his teammates all these different types of things so I could imagine uh this is a challenging situation for Ricky piol who obviously could have had a ton of opportunities with the whole Brandon auk situation um opening up reps uh his ability to lot into that kind of X receiver role just an an unfortunate situation but hopefully uh we get him back week one hopefully he doesn't miss any actual game time uh but just an unfortunate situation and obviously I've you we've already made some updates on it but no updates on Trent Williams or Brandon auk right now um so we're just kind of waiting and seeing but this is pretty much the the pretty substantial uh injury report that we got from the 49ers today let me know what you guys think about this in the
