SANTA CLARA -- Veteran defensive end Dee Ford is expected to miss at least a week of training camp after undergoing a platelet-rich plasma treatment on his knee.
Ford has missed three practices after experiencing tendinitis in his knee. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Ford underwent the treatment on Saturday.
"I know we’re looking at it day to day, but that usually takes at least a week," Shanahan said. "But it’s something that I think will end up helping him. He could’ve toughed it out and stuff and gone through it like a lot of guys try to do, because guys are trying to make the team and they’re trying to get better.
