The Facts: The San Francisco 49ers are shutting down Garcon for the remainder of the season.
Diehards Line:
Niners general manager John Lynch said that the team is placing Garcon on injured reserve due to a neck injury he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Garcon hasn't practiced since suffering the injury. Garcon's departure is a significant blow to the 49ers offensive attack on the heels of the team's acquisition of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. He led the the team in receiving with 500 yards on a team-best 40 catches.
