The San Francisco 49ers linebackers Ahmad Brooks will likely miss the team’s season opener Sept. 13 at Arizona after having a surgery on his left knee, which might be initially hurt in practice and was aggravated during the team’s preseason win at Dallas on Saturday night.
The surgery was done on Monday at Stanford University after a Sunday MRI exam on Brooks’ left knee showed that he needed a surgery. And he may need two or three weeks to take care of the knee, from which a small bone fragment was removed in the surgery. So it is very unlikely that Brooks will make it to play in the season opener, which is just two weeks away.
However, it is better than last season. The fourth-year pro is in his second season with the 49ers and did not play any game last season. As for this season, as a backup outside linebacker to Parys Haralson, he will at least be able to have some playing time during the regular season, even if not available for season opener.
