Cowboys Medical Tent
The number one preseason priority, by a wide margin, is to avoid injuries, especially to starters and key role players. The 49ers failed in this mission, as they suffered five first-half injuries to guys they expect to play a significant role: starters Solomon Thomas and Malcolm Smith and second-stringers TE George Kittle, RB Matt Brieda, and OT Gerry Gilliam. In his postgame presser, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said that Kittle and Brieda both had shoulder injuries that would cause them to miss some time.
On the other sideline, Marcus Martin, Marqueston Huff, and Marchie Murdock suffered tweaks. The most serious should be Martin’s toe—which, for a man of his girth, could be a long-term issue .The others were considered minor. None of the players in question are roster locks (Martin and Huff are bubble players), so there should be no frantic scouring of the street free agent lists on the part of the Cowboys front office.
