Broke pinky, hopeful for Week 1 Banks broke his pinkie finger Thursday and had to undergo surgery, but head coach Kyle Shanahan says the hope is that he'll be ready for Week 1, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Banks' finger injury and surgery recovery will likely keep him out of San Francisco's final two preseason games in the hope that he'll be back for Week 1 against the Jets. Offensive guard Nick Zakelj worked at left guard in place of Banks on Friday and should continue to do so in the following weeks as Banks works his way back.

Managing back spasms Banks is dealing with back spasms but is expected to return to practice "real soon," Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern for Banks, though it's cost him multiple days of practice. The Notre Dame product's availability for the start of the regular season isn't in question, and he's expected to function as the 49ers' starter at left guard during the 2024 campaign.

Aggravates toe issue Banks told reporters Tuesday that he aggravated his turf toe injury in the 49ers' 33-19 loss to the Ravens, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Banks missed two games earlier in the season with this toe issue and it now seems as if it could hinder him going forwards. The third-year guard out of Notre Dame was unable to return to the field after exiting Monday night's game, so his practice participation will be something to look out for leading up to San Francisco's Week 17 contest.

Impact After suffering a knee injury during the 49ers' Week 17 win over the Raiders, the left guard was forced to miss San Francisco's regular-season finale against Arizona.

In line to practice this week Banks (ankle/knee) is expected to return to practice this week, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Impact Banks was sidelined during Sunday's win over Arizona due to both knee and ankle sprains he sustained in Week 17, but it's encouraging to hear that the 325-pounder anticipates partaking in wild-card prep at some point this week. Should Banks eventually gain medical clearance, he'll likely continue starting at left guard when the 49ers host the Seahawks on Saturday.

Impact Banks will be re-evaluated next week ahead of the 49ers' upcoming playoff appearance. The team still in contention for No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye, so the second-year offensive lineman could potentially have an additional week to recover.
