A day after Ahmad Brooks was charged with misdemeanor sexual battery, San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke addressed the situation with reporters, saying that Brooks “is still a member of this team,” according to ESPN. The long term future of Brooks is in question, however.
Baalke stated what should be obvious, that it is most important, at this time, for Ahmad Brooks to be with his family and figure out this situation and put it behind him — both legally and, perhaps more crucially, with his loved ones.
