49ers defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway left Sunday’s game against the Dolphins in the fourth quarter. The team later announced Ridgeway injured a pectoral muscle.
Coach Kyle Shanahan updated Ridgeway’s condition Monday.
“Hassan Ridgeway, he has a pec strain,” Shanahan said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “Surgery is not needed, but he’ll be out for a while, most likely 6-8 weeks.”
Ridgeway played 265 snaps over the past 10 weeks and 284 in 12 games this season. He has 28 tackles and one sack.
He signed a one-year, $1.8 million deal in March.
