Markus Golden

Oh man is it so nice to see number 44 back out there. It was against these same 49ers last season, same month, and the game had a similar final score, in which Golden was lost for the season to a torn ACL.

Golden had a long road back and missed all of training camp. He also missed the first couple of weeks of the season. Now he seems to be as strong as ever.

On Sunday he had seven tackles, two of them for a loss. He also registered a sack, giving him 1.5 sacks on the season.

He’s been slow to get going but you could see week to week he was getting better and closer to where he was before his season ending injury in 2017. Sunday proved Golden is back.

Even if he doesn’t feel all the way back, he certainly looks all the way back. If he isn’t 100 percent then I truly can’t wait to see him when he is.
