49ers LB Patrick Willis has been ruled out for the rest of the game after suffering a toe injury #SFvsSTL

If this toe injury is bad, he could miss multiple games. A.J. Green of the Bengals is dealing with the same type of injury and he will not be ready this week for the Bengals.  Hopefully the former first rounder Willis’ injury is not as bad as Green’s. 

Update:

@SandoESPN: Patrick Willis walking with a boot on left foot.
