Rookie Philip Thomas, the early favorite to start at safety for , will miss the 2013 season with a torn Lisfranc ligament suffered in the preseason opener last week.
Thomas started Thursday’s game at Tennessee, but suffered what was thought to be a sprained left foot while making a tackle in the first quarter. Thomas left training camp to be examined by specialist Dr. Robert Anderson on Tuesday. Head coach Mike Patrick Willis Authentic Jersey Shanahan announced after practice that Anderson had discovered the Lisfranc tear – the ligament is in the mid-foot – and recommended surgery.
New York Jets wide Anthony Davis Jersey receiver Santonio Holmes tore his Lisfranc ligament in a game last September and is still questionable to play on opening day this season.
Thomas, a fourth-round pick from Fresno State, will be placed on injured reserve, Shanahan said. Recovery will take “four to five months,’’ the coach said.
Thomas and fellow rookie Bacarri Rambo, the team’s sixth-round pick, started together at safety Thursday.
