Managing MCL sprain
Gage (knee) is expected to miss seven to 10 days due to a sprained MCL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gage is the newest addition to a long list of injured 49ers wideouts, joining Jauan Jennings (calf), Jacob Cowing (hamstring) and Jordan Watkins (ankle), plus Brandon Aiyuk (ACL), who remains on the active/PUP list and could be out until around Week 6. With Demarcus Robinson also now unavailable early in the year due to a three-game suspension, Gage's injury is a notable blow to San Francisco's depth, despite the 29-year-old veteran not having logged regular-season action since 2022. Gage's recovery timetable essentially rules him out of Friday's preseason finale against the Chargers, though he should have time to return to full health in time for Week 1 against Seattle on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Gage missed the entire 2023 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon last August, but the Ravens will give him a chance to compete for a WR spot behind top options Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. The 28-year-old last saw regular-season action with Tampa Bay in 2022, when he recorded a 51/426/5 receiving line in 13 regular-season games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible cap casualty
Jenna Laine of ESPN.com notes that Gage, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve during training camp due to a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, could be released by the Buccaneers during the 2024 offseason.
ANALYSIS
Gage sustained the injury Aug. 16 in a joint practice with the Jets during training camp, and he was placed on the Bucs' IR four days later. He will be entering the final season of his three-year, $30 million contract he signed March of 2022. Laine notes that the Bucs would save $6.45 million if they cut Gage before June 1, and $10 million if they wait until after that date. In his last full season in 2022, Gage caught 51 passes on 70 targets for 426 yards and five touchdowns across 13 games.
