49ers LB Elijah Lee suffered a broken thumb and will be out for two weeks

We just got off the phone with San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, and he started out by addressing injuries. The first one was on linebacker Elijah Lee. Lee suffered a broken thumb during Saturday’s game and had surgery on it this morning. Shanahan said that Lee would miss two weeks.
