SANTA CLARA CA — The San Francisco 49ersTraining camp is a good time to test your defensive line depth. Maurice Hurst According to Kyle Shanahan, he sustained a torn biceps after Friday’s practice.
Shanahan stated that Hurst would “most likely” miss the whole 2022 season.

Shanahan stated that Hurst sustained the injury while on a jet sweep run. He reached out to grab at the runner when his arm gave out.
Hurst’s loss is yet another blow to Niners’ defensive line. This group was widely considered to be their strongest position group at training camp. It is just one day following Shanahan’s announcement that Arik Armstead A sprained right leg would cause him to miss “a few more weeks.” Shanahan also mentioned Saturday that defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway It is mildly affected by quadriceps strain. This will cause it to be out of action for several weeks.
Hurst had been helping the Niners’ starting defense on Friday while they eased tackle Javon Kinlaw Following his recovery from last season’s torn ACL, he returned to the gym.
Hurst missing the entire season would result in a second consecutive disappointing campaign. The 2018 fifth-round draft pick was plagued by ankle and calf injuries during last season. He only played in two games and took 40 defensive snaps.
The Niners signed Ridgeway, Armstead, and Hurst but not Ridgeway. Robert Nkemdiche Tomasi Laulile and Tomasi — in the last few days.
Kinlaw, who has spent the first few days getting adjusted to the position, is expected to resume team drills during Saturday’s practice.
