SANTA CLARA — Already challenged in terms of a pass rush, the 49ers got some bad news Monday when it was learned Bryce Huff came out of a 20-10 win over Atlanta with a hamstring strain and will likely miss at least two games.
Huff played 45 snaps against the Falcons and 69.2 percent of the plays. Both are his high-water marks for the season. But toward the end of the game, Huff apparently felt something was amiss.
“I was told it was right at the end,” Shanahan said in a conference call with local reporters. “I was told he felt it on the last two plays.”
Having lost their top edge rusher in Nick Bosa to a torn ACL on Sept. 14, the 49ers are 25th in the NFL with 14 sacks. Huff leads the 49ers with four and also leads in quarterback hits with six.
