Feliciano was a free-agent pickup in 2023 and eventually started in the 2024 Super Bowl. However, a knee injury disrupted his 2024 season before it began.<\/p>\n<p>After the 49ers opened his practice window a few weeks back, there was hope he could return from the injured reserve.\u00a0 However,\u00a0San Francisco didn\u2019t designate him to return on November 25, which means he cannot play this year. Feliciano responded to the update on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTried my hardest,\u201d\u00a0Feliciano said. \u201cFather Time [is] real. Hoping this ain\u2019t the end but if it is, Hell of a ride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Feliciano is 32 years old and has shown he can still perform at the NFL level. The issue is that his body just won\u2019t comply. While he clearly doesn\u2019t rule out playing again, he\u2019s also realizing the situation.<\/p>\n<p>There have been plenty of injuries disrupting the 49ers\u2019 season, maybe best evidenced by the long absence of WR\u00a0Brandon Aiyuk\u00a0or the Niners\u2019 38-10 loss to the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0after QB Brock Purdy and DE\u00a0Nick Bosa were ruled out.<\/p>\n<h2>Shanahan Spoke on IR Decision<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s fairly rare for teams to designate a player to return from the IR and for the player to not actually make the 21-day window. But it does happen, and for Feliciano, it could mean the end of his career.<\/p>\n<p>49ers head coach\u00a0Kyle Shanahan provided an update on the situation during his November 25 press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, Jon is going to stay on IR,\u201d\u00a0Shanahan said.\u00a0\u201cKnee hasn\u2019t responded the right way, so unfortunately for Jon, and us, but just had a talk with him here a little bit ago and he\u2019s going to have to stay on IR.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Including San Francisco\u2019s run to the Super Bowl, Feliciano started 10 games for\u00a0the 49ers in 2023. As things stand, Feliciano has made 113 NFL appearances and 61 total starts over his 10 years in the league.<\/p>\n<h2>49ers HC Addresses Second MRI Report<\/h2>\n<p>On November 24, FOX reporter\u00a0Jay Glazer revealed\u00a0that the 49ers had Purdy undergo not one, but two MRIs last week.\u00a0The Niners QB\u00a0has been dealing with a shoulder injury that he suffered during the team\u2019s 20-17 loss to the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0on November 17.<\/p>\n<p>Shanahan was asked about the report at the Nov. 25 presser, but downplayed the process as fairly normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost guys get, we always get more than one when you get one and it seems alright then you have some pain later in the week, so you get another one to make sure you didn\u2019t miss anything. And so, that\u2019s what he did, I think, after the Thursday practice,\u201d Shanahan said.<\/p>\n<p>Shanahan was asked multiple follow-up questions about the injury, but refused to give a concrete answer on Purdy\u2019s chances for the 49ers\u2019 upcoming trip to face the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0on December 1. Considering the 49ers\u2019 offensive struggles with backup QB\u00a0Brandon Allen running the show, their chances of a victory likely hinge on Purdy\u2019s availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco 49ers lineman Jon Feliciano has hinted at retiring.
