Santa Clara, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – San Francisco 49ers center Daniel Kilgore will undergo surgery Tuesday for a fractured left leg and will be placed on injured reserve.

Kilgore suffered the injury during Sunday night’s 42-17 loss at Denver.

“That’s an obstacle to overcome. He’s made of the right stuff,” 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said.

Third-round draft pick Marcus Martin could be the team’s starting center when San Francisco returns from the bye week Nov. 2 against the Rams. Martin finished his first week of practice last week after suffering a preseason knee injury.
