Joe Staley Fantasy Stats

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley officially announced his retirement from the NFL. Staley told the 49ers he was retiring, so they went ahead and traded for left tackle Trent Williams right before their fourth-round pick on Saturday. Staley was a first-round pick (28th overall) of the Niners back in 2007 and was a six-time Pro Bowler in his successful and lengthy career. He only played in seven games in 2019 because of injury and felt it was time to hang up his cleats. Williams, a perennial Pro Bowler himself, will step in immediately on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's blind side in 2020 despite sitting out all of 2019.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) is expected to return for the final year of his contract in 2020 after there was speculation that he would retire from the game after a Super Bowl run in 2019. The 13-year veteran missed nine games last season due to a broken leg, but he was solid as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's blind-side protector when he was on the field. Staley allowed just seven QB pressures in 240 pass-blocking snaps last year for a pressure rate of 2.9 percent, which trailed just Ronnie Stanley and Taylor Lewan among left tackles, according to Pro Football Focus. Staley's return would be great news for Jimmy G.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (finger) underwent surgery on his fractured finger and will likely miss a few games, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Staley had just returned on Monday night from a fractured leg, so it's a tough break for both the veteran and San Francisco's offensive line. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was under constant pressure from the Seahawks even with Staley in there in Week 10, but things won't get easier now that Staley is back on the sidelines for a while. It may not matter in Week 11 against the Cardinals, but Garoppolo will be a mediocre QB2 and could be missing his top two receivers in George Kittle and Emmanuel Sanders.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) went through a full practice on Tuesday for the first time since fracturing the fibula in his left leg on Sept. 15, and he thinks he'll be ready to return in Week 10 on Monday night football against the Seahawks. "I feel good," the six-time Pro Bowl left tackle said. "If everything goes according to plan, Ill be out there this week. Today, I was out there for the full practice, which was the first time." Rookie Justin Skule has been starting in place of Staley, and the Niners are the only undefeated team left in football. While Staley could be limited if he plays, his return would be good news for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the team's running game.

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a broken left fibula in Week 2. Hes expected to miss six to eight weeks. The 35-year-old Staley is a lynchpin for the Niners strong offensive line and his absence could impair the teams running game, which annihilated the Cincinnati Bengals for 259 rushing yards last Sunday. Sixth-round rookie Justin Skule is expected to receive the start at left tackle in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Staleys injury impact may be far-reaching, running backs Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert still make for appealing RB2 and RB3/flex plays, respectively.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a fractured left fibula in the Week 2 win over the Bengals when running back Raheem Mostert ran into Staley's leg from behind. The offensive lineman said he's expected to be out six to eight weeks. It's a big and notable loss to San Francisco's offensive line, and it's bad news for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo moving forward, although he does have a good matchup in Week 3 against the struggling Steelers Defense. Garoppolo remains a midrange QB2.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a potentially serious leg injury in Week 2 against the Bengals and was carted off the field. This has the looks of an injury that could be a season-ender for Staley. It'd be a big loss to San Fran's offensive line and a downgrade moving forward for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's pass protection. We'll keep you updated on the exact nature of Staley's leg injury, but it didn't look good.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley signed a two-year contract extension on Thursday through the 2021 season. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. The first-round pick in 2007 has started all 174 regular season games he's played in in his 12-year career. He was an All-Pro in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and has been selected to six Pro Bowls. Despite his age (34 years old), Staley is one of the best left tackles in the game and will be charged with protecting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo the next couple of seasons.
