49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk completes miraculous one-week recovery from brutal knee injury
San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has been cleared to play against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, returning just one week after a tackle against the Denver Broncos hyperextended his knee. Although initial assessments suggested the 33-year-old, 10-time Pro Bowler might be sidelined for three weeks or until after the team's bye, he recovered faster than expected, a feat head coach Kyle Shanahan described as impressive.
Despite Juszczyk's rapid return, the 49ers face other absences for the upcoming game. Defensive end Nick Bosa will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a calf strain, while wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Garret Wallow are out with hamstring injuries and safety Marques Sigle is sidelined with an ankle issue.
Wide receiver Mike Evans, who missed all practice this week due to rib and Achilles issues, remains questionable for Monday's matchup.
