49ers' Dante Pettis suffers MCL injury, out for finale

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis injured his MCL in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears.

What It Means:

Further testing on Monday should reveal whether Pettis is also dealing with an ACL injury, which would be a bit more severe of an issue. Either way, the rookie will not play versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. Pettis caught 3 passes (5 targets) for 21 yards on Sunday before leaving.

The second-round pick finishes his first NFL season with 27 receptions on 45 targets for 467 yards and 5 touchdowns.
