The 49ers placed Wishnowsky (back) on injured reserve Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. A back injury will force Wishnowsky to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 15 against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 12 the earliest he can return. Pat O'Donnell will serve as the 49ers' punter with Wishnowsky sidelined.
Wishnowsky (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Wishnowsky has been unable to practice all week due to a back issue, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Wishnowsky is a candidate to go on injured reserve, per Clayton Holloway of NFL.com. Pat O'Donnell will likely be called up from the practice squad to serve as the 49ers' punter for Week 11.
Wishnowsky (knee) played in Saturday's preseason opener against Tennessee. Wishnowsky missed multiple practices due to knee irritation, but he was able to take the field in the 49ers' first exhibition contest. That suggests he'll be good to go for the regular season, barring any setbacks.
Wishnowsky has not been practicing due to knee irritation, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Wishnowsky enters the season as San Francisco's presumed starting punter for the fifth straight season. That being said, the 49ers may opt to bring in another punter for the time being with their first preseason game set to come Saturday on the road against the Titans.
