Jets – 49ers injury report for NFL Monday Night Football Week 1: Reddick, McCaffrey and Banks

The The New York Jets face a difficult start to the season as they prepare for their opening game on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium.

The New York Jets without Reddick

The Jets, who have spent the last few offseasons focusing on building a win-now squad to end their long playoff drought, will be without one of their star offseason signings, Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick. Reddick, known for his consistency with 10+ sacks in each of the last four seasons, is waiting for a new contract and has not yet submitted a report to the teamJets head coach Robert Saleh, a familiar face to 49ers fans from his time as defensive coordinator, confirmed that Reddick will not play Monday.

Reddick is the only player in the NFL who is still pending at this point in the season. Saleh confirmed that the Jets placed Reddick on the reserve/unreported list at the start of training camp, and he remains on that list. This absence could seriously damage the Jets' defense as they prepare to face the 49ers' dynamic offense.

Two days ago, the left-back Zaire Barnes is definitely out due to an ankle injuryand his comeback was not announced.

The San Francisco 49ers team is missing some important players

On the 49ers side, the injury report ahead of Monday Night Football gives cause for concern, but also cause for optimism. Star running back Christian McCaffrey His participation is doubtful due to calf and Achilles tendon problems, but everything indicates that he will play in the game.

McCaffrey has been a key player since being traded from the Carolina Panthers last season, where he led the NFL in contacts and amassed over 2,000 all-purpose yards. His high usage rate and injury history, including a calf injury at the end of last season, suggest that the team should be more cautious with him as the season progresses.

Further injury concerns for the 49ers concern Offensive Lineman Aaron Bankswhich is questionable, and security Talanoa Hufangawhose use is considered questionable.

Linebackers Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) and Dee Winters (ankle) have already been ruled out for the opening game.
