49ers' Aaron Banks: Shifts to IR
The 49ers placed Banks (knee) on injured reserve Monday.
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.

49ers' Aaron Banks: Suffers season-ending injury
Banks (knee) suffered a season-ending MCL injury in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Banks sustained the knee injury in the second half of the contest, bringing his season to a premature end. Fellow offensive linemen Jaylon Moore (quadriceps) and Trent Williams (ankle) were both lost for the season as well over the weekend. Nick Zakelj replaced Banks at left guard against Miami and will likely operate in that role in Week 17 against the Lions on Monday Night Football.

49ers' Aaron Banks: Ruled out of Sunday's game
Banks (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Banks went down with a knee injury in the second half, which will sideline him at least until next Monday's Week 17 game versus the Lions. The starting left guard is joined by left tackle Jaylon Moore (quad) on the sideline, so Spencer Burford and Nick Zakelj are now on the offensive line for the 49ers.

49ers' Aaron Banks: Ruled out for Week 14
Banks (concussion) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's battle against the Bears, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Banks didn't practice at all this week, which suggests that he hasn't cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Sunday will mark his second consecutive missed contest. Ben Bartch will likely make another start at left guard in Banks' stead Sunday.

49ers' Aaron Banks: Won't play Sunday against Bills
Banks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Banks suffered a concussion during the 49ers' Week 12 loss to the Packers, and he'll be sidelined for Sunday's game after not practicing all week. His next chance to play will be Week 14 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 8, though he'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to suit up. Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford are candidates to start at right guard due to Banks' injury.

Banks suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
He'll now have to pass through the league's concussion protocol if he wants a chance to play next Sunday against Buffalo. Spencer Burford would presumably get the start against the Bills if Banks can't gain clearance over the next week.
