As 49ers’ injuries begin to stack up, potential roster issues arise

The San Francisco 49ers have placed defensive tackle C.J. West on injured reserve due to a knee injury he sustained, which includes a bone chip.

This development leaves the team even thinner at the position, following Alfred Collins going down with a season-ending knee injury right before the season opener, though coach Kyle Shanahan anticipates West could make a return later in the year. Meanwhile, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson sustained a high ankle sprain during the team's 35-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins, adding further strain to the roster as preparations begin for an upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
