49ers' Kalia Davis Breaks Hand, Set for Surgery With Short Layoff Expected

The team expects only a brief absence after surgery with a protective club to follow.

Overview

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kalia Davis suffered a broken hand in the Week 5 win over the Rams and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Davis will undergo surgery and could miss as few as two games, with plans to return wearing a club.
  • With Kevin Givens on injured reserve, the 49ers will lean on Jordan Elliott and rookies Alfred Collins and C.J. West, with practice-squad options Sebastian Valdez and Evan Anderson in reserve.
  • Yetur Gross-Matos left in the second half with a hamstring pull, and Shanahan offered no immediate timeline update.
  • Davis had logged a career-high snap share through five games for the 4-1 49ers, who visit the Buccaneers next before hosting the Falcons.
