49ers running back Raheem Mostert’s family experienced a scare on Wedensday, when his 3-year-old son, Gunnar, had to be rushed to the hospital after suffering a high fever and other severe COVID-19 symptoms.
In a statement posted to her Instagram story, Devon said her son was taken to the hospital with serious COVID-19 symptoms.
“If you think COVID is a joke, this is out sweet G man in an ambulance today after I called 911 because he was lethargic, skin was gray, lips were purple, and he had a 103.5 temperature,” the message said.
“I’m crying even typing this. This is all SO SCARY. We are thankfully back home, but my family is very much in the thick of it. I’ll update you more soon. But this is literally my CRY for you to take COVID seriously.”
“I could say a lot, but I’m going to keep this short because my family gets 100% of my time right now,” Raheem Mostert said via Instagram.
“Take COVID seriously! It’s not a joke!!”

The good news: Gunnar is back home and recovering.
Mostert, who is out for the season with a knee injury, carried the ball two times for 20 yards against the Detroit Lions back in September before he got injured and had to leave the game.
Mostert missed eight games last year, but his production in half a season raised expectations for what he could deliver in 2021. He finished with 677 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns.
