Givens (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. The sixth-year pro from Penn State tore his pectoral muscle in the 49ers' 35-10 loss to the Bills on Sunday night, so Wednesday's move to IR comes as no surprise. Expect Kalia Davis to serve as the 49ers' top backup interior defensive lineman while Givens is sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Givens (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. The sixth-year pro from Penn State tore his pectoral muscle in the 49ers' 35-10 loss to the Bills on Sunday night, so Wednesday's move to IR comes as no surprise. Expect Kalia Davis to serve as the 49ers' top backup interior defensive lineman while Givens is sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Givens tore his pectoral muscle in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Givens played three defensive snaps and recorded one total tackle in the first half of Sunday's blowout loss before sustaining a season-ending pectoral injury. The 27-year-old appeared in eight games this year, recording 11 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks. With Givens missing the remainder of 2024, expect Kalia Davis to serve as San Francisco's top backup interior defensive lineman.
Givens (chest) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Bills. Givens suffered a chest injury in the first half, which will ultimately keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. The defensive tackle will now shift his focus to being ready to go for Week 14 against the Bears.
Givens (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest versus Buffalo. Givens appears to have picked up a chest injury in the first quarter, placing some doubt on his ability to return to the field. In his place, Kalia Davis and Khalil Davis stand to see an increase in workload at defensive tackle.
Givens (groin) is active for Sunday night's contest against Buffalo, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official website reports. Givens will make his return to the field after missing the four games with a groin injury. The 27-year-old stands to play a large workload of snaps alongside Maliek Collins at defensive tackle with Jordan Elliott (concussion) unavailable.
Givens (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Givens has been sidelined for the last four games due to a groin injury, though he has a chance to return Sunday after logging limited practices all week. If he does play, Givens would have a chance to see increased snaps at defensive tackle alongside starter Maliek Collins due to Jordan Elliott (concussion) being ruled out.
Givens (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. A groin injury has prevented Givens from playing or practicing since Week 7 against the Chiefs, though the 27-year-old has not been placed on injured reserve. His next chance to play will be against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 1.
Givens (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Givens will miss his third straight game due to a groin issue and has yet to return to practice since the injury. His next chance to play will be Week 12 against Green Bay on Sunday, Nov. 24. Kalia will serve as the 49ers' primary rotational defensive tackle Sunday behind starters Maliek Collins and Jordan Elliott.
Givens (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports. Givens didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday due to a groin injury sustained in late October. Expect Khalil Davis to see increased work as a rotational defensive tackle while Givens remains sidelined in Week 10.
