Overview

• Coach Jim Harbaugh said imaging showed Alt sustained a sprained right ankle and labeled him doubtful to face the Washington Commanders.
• Harbaugh added Alt is likely out this week and will be evaluated day to day, with no decision on injured reserve.
• Alt shifted to left tackle after Rashawn Slater’s season-ending knee injury, with Trey Pipkins III moving into Alt’s former spot.
• During the loss to the Giants, Austin Deculus replaced Alt and Jamaree Salyer filled in for right guard Mekhi Becton, who is in the concussion protocol.
• Protection has wobbled for Justin Herbert, with two sacks and 12 quarterback hits by the Giants after five sacks by the Broncos the week prior.
