That also means that Givens won't play against Washington on Sunday because he will need to clear COVID-19 protocols before returning to the team, and they won't happen before the game.
San Francisco signed Givens as an undrafted free agent on April 28, 2019. He spent the majority of his rookie season on the practice squad but was promoted to the active roster for the final regular-season game.
Givens has registered 17 tackles, five tackles for a loss, a sack, three quarterback hits, a pass defensed, and a fumble recovery through 12 game appearances this season.
