49ers right guard Dominick Puni is believed to have injured his posterior cruciate ligament and could miss a few weeks, coach Kyle Shanahan said after Saturday’s preseason game.
Puni was injured on the starters’ lone drive.
Left guard Ben Bartsch not not play against the Raiders because of an elbow injury.
The 49ers also lost running backs Patrick Taylor Jr. and Corey Kiner. Taylor will miss a couple of weeks with a dislocated shoulder, and Kiner will be out a few weeks with a high ankle sprain.
