SANTA CLARA – Defensive lineman Darnell Dockett, who missed all of his final season with the Arizona Cardinals with a torn ACL he sustained in training camp a year ago, made his 49ers debut on Sunday night.
Dockett, who is entering his 12th NFL season after signing with the 49ers in the offseason as a free agent, played four snaps in his new team’s 23-6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium in the second exhibition game for both games.
Linebacker NaVorro Bowman also made his return from a knee injury that kept him out all of last season.
