Impact 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.

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.

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.
