49ers fear Crabtree tears Achilles The San Francisco 49ers fear wide receiver Michael Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon on Tuesday, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Crabtree is undergoing additional tests to confirm the injury, the sources said. USA Today Sports, citing a person informed of the injury, is reporting that Crabree tore his Achilles.
Ouch. Very bad news for 49ers. I doubt he will be back for the playoffs since it is only 6 months away.
Damn, that sucks. First offseason workout for the Niners and they lose their best weapon. That leaves Boldin, a recovering Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams, a 1st round bust in AJ Jenkins, and Quinton Patton. SFgate saying Brandon Lloyd might get a look.
Hate to see any player go down with an injury. Being a fan of the NFL, it happens an awful lot. Brian Cushing was a huge loss for us last year.
I certainly think Jenkins was a reach, but has he failed enough to already call him a bust? Crabtree has improved each year but just had his first 1000 yard season. They still got Davis, and a returning Lamichael James.
How come they don't report how he did it? Are we supposed to assume it was from training/practice? Or could it have been from a pickup basketball game?
