According to multiple reports, 49ers’ star defensive player LB NaVorro Bowman tore his achilles against the Dallas Cowboys in a 24-17 loss.
In the 2014 NFC Championship Game, Bowman tore his MCL and ACL in his left knee and was inactive for the entirety of the 2014 NFL season. This achilles injury is a devastating one for the 49ers because Bowman is reliable, a perennial pro-bowler, and it seemed as if he was finally back to his old self.
So what does his injury mean for the Niners moving forward?
Well, for starters, they’ve lost their best defensive player, their team leader, and a fan favorite.
