ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a sprained knee.

This injury looked like a potential season-ender when it first occurred, so a 2-3 week absence is great news for Juszczyk and the Niners. Assuming this return timeline is accurate, Juszczyk should be able to avoid being placed on injured reserve and could return as early as Week 7, when the Niners visit the Falcons.
