Two 49ers who are expected to have prominent roles next season will miss the offseason program, general manager John Lynch announced Thursday.
Center Weston Richburg had surgery following his first season with San Francisco to repair damage to his knee and quadriceps, Lynch said at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., according to the team’s website. Second-year defensive back D.J. Reed is expected to have surgery Friday to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.
“That was a bummer because D.J. really needs the reps, but you have to take care of it, so better now than later,” Lynch said on the website.
