49ers Pass-Rusher Needs Surgery After Breaking Hand During Dolphins Game

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that one of the team's pass-rushers left Week 2 with a broken hand that needs surgery.

The San Francisco 49ers suffered a setback in the latest NFL injury news. Rookie edge-rusher Romello Height fractured his hand during the team's Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins and will undergo surgery, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Height's injury occurred on Monday when he left the game and did not return. While there is a possibility he might play in the upcoming Sunday matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, it remains uncertain.

Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess a solid pass-rushing defense, with veteran players Nick Bosa and Osa Odighizuwa contributing significantly. Height himself recorded notable statistics in his debut game, tallying one tackle, one sack, and one pressure against Miami.
