49ers' Garcon placed on IR with season-ending neck injury
The San Francisco 49ers placed wide receiver Pierre Garcon on injured reserve due to a season-ending neck injury, general manager John Lynch confirmed Thursday.
Garcon suffered the injury during Sunday's loss with the Philadelphia Eagles after colliding with a staff member on the sidelines.
The 31-year-old recorded 40 catches for 500 yards and no touchdowns this season.
