The injury-riddled 49ers lose DT Kalia Davis for half the season with a knee injury
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco defensive tackle Kalia Davis will need to undergo surgery on his knee after getting hurt in the exhibition opener in the latest injury to hit the 49ers. He played awesome through the whole game, and that is why we, he and us were surprised he had such a tough injury.” While Thomas and Davis have the only injuries that are projected to last into the season, several other players, including Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, Ricky Pearsall, Isaac Yiadom, Jon Feliciano and Spencer Burford, are sidelined right now, leading to the decision to call off the practices with the Saints. Just get a little scrappy out there.” San Francisco is still missing two other key players at practice with receiver Brandon Aiyuk conducting a “hold in” and left tackle Trent Williams holding out in search of new contracts. Brandon knows what he has to do to be in shape for the season and I fell confident he’s doing that.” The Niners brought in some help on Monday when they signed veteran receiver Robbie Chosen to a one-year contract and waived receiver Frank Darby with an injury designation.
