Impact Banks sustained a season-ending MCL injury in the 49ers' Week 16 loss to the Dolphins, so Monday's shift to IR comes as no surprise. Nick Zakelj is expected to assume San Francisco's top left guard duties for the remainder of the season, with Austen Pleasants likely serving as the top backup.
