I sort of figured that the San Francisco 49ers would, naturally, extend right tackle Trent Brown to a long-term contract just as soon as they could. He’s developed into a great starter, but has missed two the team’s last three games with a shoulder injury and, apparently, not everyone is happy about that.
In one of his Q&A columns, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee was asked if the 49ers were unhappy that Brown didn’t play on Sunday, and if that puts him on “rocky roads” with the team going forward (the user also suggested that Matt Maiocco alluded to this, though I couldn’t find where this took place).
