Kone was injured while attempting to defend Colts receiver Ashton Dulin near the end zone. Social media videos showed his left leg bent at an awkward angle near the knee. He remained on the ground in visible pain before being carted off the field. 

Harbaugh said that it was difficult to see the young NFL player go down, especially considering how well he had been performing in the preseason match up. 

"Very emotional, playing well too. Man, that play made a heck of a play. And then even seeing him in the locker room right now is just really hard. Very hard. But, like I told him, the sun will come up tomorrow – if the sun doesn’t come up tomorrow, we’ve got much bigger problems."
