September 24, 2007


SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker)- San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis will be sidelined an indefinite period after suffering an MCL sprain in Sunday's 37-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

49ers coach Mike Nolan revealed the injury after Sunday's game and an MRI exam on Monday confirmed the diagnosis. According to the team web site, Davis is expected to miss a "few weeks."

Davis had four receptions for 56 yards in Sunday's game before he was injured in the third quarter.

The No. 6 overall pick in 2006, he missed six games as a rookie due to a cracked fibula. Davis finished the season with 20 catches for 265 yards and three touchdowns.
