Even more 49ers players facing multi-week absences due to injury

Kalia Davis undergoes surgery

Davis, on the other hand, will require surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the procedure was scheduled to take place Friday. There’s some thought that Davis could potentially miss as few as two games, as well. As a defensive lineman, Davis doesn’t have too much use for the gripping mechanic of that appendage, and some expect him to return to play with a club cast on his hand.

Gross-Matos had just come off his only full practice of the week as he worked his way back from a knee injury. While the knee seemingly held up Thursday night, Gross-Matos is now set to miss time with a hamstring strain, which could mean a multi-week absence. The rookie, Collins, suffered a sprained knee. With the "Thursday Night Football" matchup allowing for a bit more time to recover before their next game, Collins may stand a chance to not miss time, depending on the severity of the sprain.

Lastly, while we knew that star tight end George Kittle would be eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 6 after being placed on list after the season opener, we’ve finally received some insight on a more specific timeline. Per Vic Tafur of The Athletic, head coach Kyle Shanahan informed the media that Kittle likely will not be able to make it back until at least Week 7. At best, this will limit the veteran in-line pass catcher to a five-game absence.
