Javon Kinlaw Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) recently underwent a successful ACL reconstruction on his injured right knee to fix chronic changes in his knee. The 49ers are hoping that the 24-year-old first-round pick in 2020 can return to full health for the start of the 2022 campaign. Kinlaw was working through knee issues in training camp and managed to play in four of the team's first five games before the injury just became too much. San Francisco will be hoping that the procedure takes care of his knee issue and he can move forward in 2022 and beyond as a big part of their defensive line.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that former first-round defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) underwent season-ending right knee surgery. "They think they solved the problem," Shanahan said. The 24-year-old played in only four games in his second season in the NFL and finished with eight tackles and no sacks. Kinlaw already had some concerns about his knee when he was taken 14th overall in the 2020 draft, and he missed the final two games of his rookie season with knee issues. The Niners are expected to activate Kevin Givens (ankle) from Injured Reserve once they place Kinlaw on IR. Defensive tackle Maurice Hurst (calf) has already been ruled out for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears, and defensive end Dee Ford (concussion) is doubtful.

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is currently in Los Angeles being evaluated, and he could need season-ending surgery. The 14th overall pick last year has missed two games with a knee injury that required multiple offseason surgeries after he initially injured it on Dec. 20 last year. Kinlaw has yet to practice in full this year and could miss the rest of the season, depending on the results of his testing in LA. In four games in his second NFL season, Kinlaw has just eight tackles. The 24-year-old missed the season opener and also sat out of the Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
