Shane Steichen said the starting defensive end will miss time, and Jeremy Fowler reported a three-to-four-week absence for a pass rush that has produced just 1.5 sacks from its edge group.
The No. 8 overall pick is still working with trainers, and the earliest reported return is Week 7 in Paris, with the bye making Week 9 against Cleveland a likelier target.
