Floyd initially required assistance walking off the field but eventually walked off under his own power.
The 49ers announced Floyd suffered a knee injury and is questionable to return. San Francisco also announced defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos is questionable to return with a knee injury
The 49ers signed Floyd to a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason in an effort to find an effective bookend opposite star pass rusher Nick Bosa.
Now they hold their breath and hope the 31-year-old did not sustain a long-term injury with the start of the 2024 NFL season two weeks away.
