San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis suffered
a hand injury during yesterday’s practice, and he’s set to undergo X-rays today
to determine the extent of the damage, according to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay
Area.
Willis suffered the injury to his right hand early on during
yesterday’s practice. He was experiencing discomfort in the hand, and he was
eventually examined by the team’s medical staff. Willis was then seen with his
hand wrapped in ice as he watched the final two hours of practice from the
sideline.
It’s unclear exactly when Willis suffered the injury, or if
it was something that’s been a lingering issue. Whatever the case, San
Francisco is having him take X-rays to see if it’s something serious.
Willis has played through hand injuries before, as in 2007
he played with a cast on his right hand and did not miss any games. He then
played two full games with a broken hand in 2010.
Beyond Willis, fellow linebacker NaVorro Bowman is also a
bit banged up. The All-Pro sat out the final part of yesterday’s practice after
missing Tuesday’s session due to a strained groin.
