Sigle is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle injury that he sustained during the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Sigle sustained the injury late in the first quarter while on kickoff coverage and was not on the field for the 49ers' final defensive drive of the game. It wouldn't be surprising if the second-year pro goes on injured reserve, and in his absence, Malik Mustapha figures to be the next man up at safety next to Ji'Ayir Brown, with Siran Neal and Ashtyn Davis both providing depth at the position.

Rotowire
Sigle (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
The safety started the first seven games of the season and played on every defensive snap from Week 1 to Week 5, but he saw his playing time drop from 62 percent of the defensive snaps to 31 percent to zero over the last three weeks, following the return of Malik Mustapha (knee) from injured reserve.

49ers' Marques Sigle: Logs three tackles in preseason win
Rotowire
Sigle (knee) logged three tackles (three solo) in San Francisco's preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday.
Sigle had suffered a knee injury in practice earlier this month but is now healthy again. The 23-year-old was selected by the 49ers in the fifth round of this year's draft, and he is looking to earn a spot on the team's final roster as a backup safety.
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Sigle will still undergo testing but that initial indications are that he's avoided a serious knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Sigle was forced out of Saturday's 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos early due to a knee issue, and Shanahan praised the rookie fifth-round pick's level of play prior to his departure. It remains to be seen, however, whether Sigle's injury will impact his status for the 49ers' next preseason contest on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Las Vegas.
