Is it safe to say it's time for him to retire?

I don't know about that. This isn't a new injury or anything - its the same injury from last year that he just keeps having setbacks with. So maybe it's just going to take more time or something. Not sure.

At this point, I would be concerned about long term health outside of football. Probably more surgery in his future and a lot more rehab. Its unfortunate but he has struggled significantly to get and stay healthy.

We have paid him 16 million dollars. He will likely never take a regular season snap for the 49ers at this point. 

That's how you win super bowls. 

That's a shame.  He was a good, versatile back when he was in Minnesota.  Sorry to hear it has gone that way for you guys with McKinnon.  :(

For sure, and Mostert is a capable runner as well. The loss of McKinnon isn't big or anything as Coleman could do a lot of the things he could do in the passing game and Breida is the best runner of the bunch. But the signing is going to end up looking atrocious as we will have paid this man damn near 20M for him to take a grand total of zero snaps for the team.

About the only way you can look at it is that it happens to every team once in a while and it's just a cost of doing business.  It's lousy when it happens, but it's part of owning or being a fan of an NFL team.
