49ers vs Giants Preview
The 49ers rebounded from a Week 1 home defeat to the Arizona Cardinals by thumping the New York Jets 31-13 at MetLife Stadium last week, but it cost them considerable manpower from an already-hobbled roster.
Defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas suffered season-ending torn ACLs; running back Tevin Coleman suffered a knee sprain that’ll keep him out for a projected four weeks; fellow back Raheem Mostert will miss at least Week 3 with a knee sprain of his own; and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a high-ankle sprain that’ll keep him off the field against the Giants.
“A lot of guys went down today and my heart and prayers go out to them,” linebacker Fred Warner said, according to 49ers.com. “That’s what a lot of guys are thinking about right now. It’s tough. It’s a tough game. To have this many injuries this early on is a sucky situation. It’s next man up.”
Star tight end George Kittle didn’t suit up for the Jets game, having sprained a knee in Week 1. He won’t play in San Francisco’s Week 3 return to the MetLife Stadium turf.
Nick Mullens will get the start under center against the Giants. He completed 8 of 11 passes for 71 yards and an interception in relief of Garoppolo in Week 2.
“I thought Nick Mullens came in and made a couple of big plays,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said, per 49ers.com. “For the most part, we were running the ball and he didn’t have to do a ton.”
The Giants fell to the Chicago Bears 17-13 last week to drop to 0-2 on the season, enduring their own costly injuries in the process. Star running back Saquon Barkley sustained a season-ending ACL tear, and wideout Sterling Shepard missed almost the whole second half with turf toe. He’s since been placed on injured reserve.
The Giants have struggled to generate offense with and without Barkley and Shepard, amassing just 29 points and 586 yards from scrimmage across two contests.
On Wednesday, the team signed two-time Pro Bowl running back Devonta Freeman to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. He joins a backfield that features Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis.
“We have a lot of confidence in the backs we have here in Dion and Wayne,” Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said, according to ESPN. “Those guys will certainly get opportunities. For us to be able to sign a guy like Devonta Freeman is a real bonus for us.”
