Banks (knee) suffered a season-ending MCL injury in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Banks sustained the knee injury in the second half of the contest, bringing his season to a premature end. Fellow offensive linemen Jaylon Moore (quadriceps) and Trent Williams (ankle) were both lost for the season as well over the weekend. Nick Zakelj replaced Banks at left guard against Miami and will likely operate in that role in Week 17 against the Lions on Monday Night Football.
Banks (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Banks went down with a knee injury in the second half, which will sideline him at least until next Monday's Week 17 game versus the Lions. The starting left guard is joined by left tackle Jaylon Moore (quad) on the sideline, so Spencer Burford and Nick Zakelj are now on the offensive line for the 49ers.
Banks cleared the league's concussion protocols Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Banks missed the 49ers' two games after suffering a concussion in Week 12, but he should be set to return Thursday against the Rams. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, the 27-year-old will reclaim his starting left guard role.
Banks (concussion) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's battle against the Bears, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Banks didn't practice at all this week, which suggests that he hasn't cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Sunday will mark his second consecutive missed contest. Ben Bartch will likely make another start at left guard in Banks' stead Sunday.
Banks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Banks suffered a concussion during the 49ers' Week 12 loss to the Packers, and he'll be sidelined for Sunday's game after not practicing all week. His next chance to play will be Week 14 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 8, though he'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to suit up. Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford are candidates to start at right guard due to Banks' injury.
Banks suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He'll now have to pass through the league's concussion protocol if he wants a chance to play next Sunday against Buffalo. Spencer Burford would presumably get the start against the Bills if Banks can't gain clearance over the next week.
Banks (finger, calf) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game in Minnesota, Banks logged limited workloads at practices in consecutive days to kick off the week before practicing fully Friday. If he avoids any type of setback, the left guard is set to take on his usual role at in the trenches when the 49ers' Week 2 contest commences.
Banks (calf) is considered day-to-day due to a calf contusion suffered during Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Banks will work to get healthy in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. In the event that Banks isn't able to go for Week 2, the 49ers will likely rely on Spencer Burford to start at left guard.
Banks (calf) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Jets, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Spencer Burford has replaced Banks at left guard, per Wagoner. Banks has helped open holes for a 49ers running game with nearly 150 yards on the ground and two scores Monday night. The 2021 second-round pick started 30 games for the 49ers over the past two seasons.
