Injury Report: T Mike McGlinchey, S P.J. Locke do not practice Wednesday ahead of Week 9 game vs. Ravens
What happened?
San Francisco 49ers tackle Mike McGlinchey and safety P.J. Locke did not practice Wednesday due to injuries. McGlinchey is dealing with a calf injury, while Locke is nursing an ankle injury.
McGlinchey has been dealing with the calf injury for the past few weeks, and it appears to be lingering. He missed last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and it's possible he could miss this week's game against the Baltimore Ravens as well.
Locke, on the other hand, is a new addition to the injury report. He suffered the ankle injury in last week's game, and it's unclear how severe it is.
What does this mean for the 49ers?
If McGlinchey is unable to play, it would be a big blow to the 49ers' offensive line. He is one of the team's best pass protectors, and his absence would make it more difficult for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to stay upright.
Locke's absence would also be a blow to the 49ers' secondary. He is one of the team's most experienced safeties, and his absence would leave a hole in the lineup.
What's next?
The 49ers will release an updated injury report on Thursday, and we'll have a better idea then of the status of McGlinchey and Locke. If either player is unable to play, the 49ers will have to make some adjustments to their lineup.
