Banks sustained the injury during practice on Thursday. The 49ers open the regular season on Monday, Sept. 9, against the New York Jets.
Banks, who is entering the final year of his contract, entered the NFL as a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has started 36 games, including the postseason, over the past two seasons.
The 49ers have experienced some issues on the offensive line this summer, beginning with the contract holdout of All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams.
Banks joins guards Spencer Burford (hand) and Jon Feliciano (knee) on the sideline. Also, backup Ben Bartch was held out of practice with knee irritation.
