CJ West suffered a bone chip in his knee and is headed to the Injured Reserve
There is no more depth now. The 49ers went from being thin to their depth being depleted at defensive tackle
The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive tackle CJ West on injured reserve after he sustained a bone chip injury to his knee. Kyle Shanahan, the team's head coach, stated that West's injury is not season-ending, but he will require surgery. West appeared out of shape in training camp and lacked the power he previously displayed against the run.
This injury has significantly impacted the 49ers' defensive tackle depth. With Thompson and West sidelined, the team will need to rely on other players and potentially bring in an additional defensive tackle from the practice squad. The 49ers currently have limited depth at the position, and any further injuries could pose a significant challenge for the team.
