San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle
Kevin Givens suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He's getting an MRI today to determine the severity of the injury, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Givens sustained the injury in the first quarter. Trainers tended to the third-year defensive lineman before he walked off the field slowly.
San Francisco signed Givens (6-1, 285) as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in 2019. The 24-year-old defender has recorded 21 tackles, a sack, and a pass defensed in 16 game appearances (one start) through his three NFL seasons.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan will provide injury updates when he speaks with reporters via a conference call today at 1 p.m. PT.

49ers' Trey Lance suffered knee sprain vs. Cardinals; Marcell Harris fractured thumb
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters this afternoon and provided some injury updates from this weekend's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Quarterback Trey Lance suffered a left knee sprain during the game, but the injury is not expected to be a long-term issue. However, it could impact the rookie's availability for the game against the Indianapolis Colts after the bye week. Lance might miss one or two weeks.
"We'll re-evaluate him at the end of the week to determine his status for next week," Shanahan said. "We really won't know whether he's got a chance versus Indy until next week, but he's got a chance. It's possibly one or two weeks. We'll have to wait and see."
Neither Shanahan nor Lance knows when the injury

49ers-Cardinals Injury Report: Jimmy Garoppolo, Trent Williams, George Kittle don't practice
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 5 contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Today's practice report looked very much like what head coach Kyle Shanahan previewed beforehand. There was no Jimmy Garoppolo, as the quarterback continues to recover from a calf injury.
"I mean, it could go up to game time," Garoppolo said before practice about Sunday's game status. "We've done it before up to game time. And it's really just about getting the mental reps while I can out there today, see where I'm at tomorrow and everything."
There was no Trent Williams, who, like Garoppolo, was injured this past weekend against the Seattle Seahawks.
San Francisco continues to be cautious
