Guard Aaron Banks left the 49ers preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs after appearing to suffer an injury blocking on a run play. He returned to the team’s locker room and was listed as “questionable” to return with a shoulder injury. With two weeks of preseason play remaining, it would be surprising to see the rookie return.
The 49ers selected Banks in the second round of this year’s NFL draft and expected him to compete to be the team’s starting right guard.
Banks’ first official NFL action came with some highs and lows.
