The San Francisco 49ers running back announced Tuesday he’s opted for season-ending surgery following an injury early in Sunday’s 41-33 win in Detroit.
The decision to undergo surgery comes with a longer timeline than trying to rehab but is likely better for the long-term for Mostert, who is set to be a free agent in 2022.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Mostert will undergo cartilage repair surgery and is looking at a roughly six-month recovery.
