49ers coach Kyle Shanahan gives reporters an update on Emmanuel Moseley, Nick Bosa, Jimmie Ward and Robbie Gould’s injuries after the Week 5 win over the Panthers.

The 49ers have suffered another big injury in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Week 5. 

Kyle Shanahan confirmed Monday that cornerback Emmanuel Moseley sustained a torn ACL and will be out for the remainder of the 49ers' season.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Monday that an MRI confirmed a torn ACL for Moseley 

Moseley, who had a pick six in the second quarter, left Sunday's game with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. In speaking to reporters after the game, coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that the team feared Moseley suffered a torn ACL.

“It was tough at the end," Shanahan said. "It was a weird feeling watching E-man. It definitely took away a little from the excitement”

In addition to Moseley, Shanahan announced that safety Jimmie Ward, who made his season debut on Sunday, suffered a broken hand, while defensive end Nick Bosa (groin) and kicker Robbie Gould (knee) also sustained injuries and will undergo further tests on Monday.

With Moseley out for the season, veteran cornerback Jason Verrett -- who could be activated off injured reserve this week -- rookie Samuel Womack and second-year corners Deommodore Lenoir and Ambry Thomas will be in the mix to replace him.
