The San Francisco 49ers will be without outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks at Wednesday's practice, and there is no word on exactly when he will be back at practice. Tomsula said Brooks was away for family reasons, and said "We'll keep him in our prayers." It sounds like a serious family issue, as opposed to something related to his legal case. Tomsula said he would not get into when Brooks would be back, and then said "To be honest, I'm not asking any questions."
The 49ers have been starting Brooks and Aaron Lynch at outside linebacker. Eli Harold and Corey Lemonier have been getting some work as well, but Brooks and Lynch are getting a vast bulk of the snaps.
