Witherspoon sustained an injury to his posterior cruciate ligament in the first quarter of the 26-23 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium, according to the 49ers.
Witherspoon is likely to remain out of the lineup for the final two games of the season. Rookie cornerback Tarvarius Moore entered Sunday’s game in place of Witherspoon at right cornerback and played 67 snaps.
