The 49ers are a team that gets hit with the injury bug year after year but they always seems to stay competitive. Our injuries are a set back, but before the injuries we weren't competitive so I can only imagine the workload getting tougher for us as we prepare for a hungry team next week. Lions started so poorly last year, and made a tremendous run to close out the season, and in all honesty probably deserved to go to the playoffs more that we did last year based on how they finished. I don't for see a win this upcoming week but hopefully we can keep the game close and catch the Lions making a mistake.
I'm not so sure about Lucas. He had the same issue with his knee back in the spring, so is a week or two's rest really going to make a difference?
And like North Hawk said, toe injuries are very concerning, and brings back memories of Jack Lambert's career ending early due to turf toe. It sounds like such a wimpy injury, like breaking a fingernail or something.
This is not a good way to start the season.
