San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Darnell Dockett posted a photo of himself Monday on social media, presumably receiving treatment on his right side, with the description, “Cracked rib,” along with an expletive.
Dockett was not identified on the 49ers’ injury report after the Denver Broncos. He is not likely to play in the 49ers’ exhibition final Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers at Levi’s Stadium, but all indications are that the injury is not expected to sideline him for too long.
The 49ers open the regular season on Monday, Sept. 14, against the Minnesota Vikings. Dockett told CSNBayArea.
