| Footballguys view: Rob Gronkowski is active and should be in your lineups despite a likely limited snap count. Dobson played in the fourth preseason game, but the Patriots are being cautious and holding him out, giving Kenbrell Thompkins a chance to make some noise today. |

San Francisco 49ers LB Darius Fleming (knee) has a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is out for the season. As a result, the team waived/injured him Tuesday, July 30.
| Footballguys view: Fleming's career is in jeopardy after back to back seasons lost to this knee. He tore the same ACL in rookie minicamp last year. The 49ers will sign undrafted free-agent LB Travis X. Johnson (San Jose State) in a corresponding move. |

49ers | Two rookies part of rehab group Wed Jun 13, 01:50 AM
San Francisco 49ers LB Darius Fleming (knee) and DL Cam Johnson (knee) were each part of the rehab group in workouts Tuesday, June 12, wearing wraps on their left knees. Fleming has a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and he likely will miss the season.
| Footballguys view: Johnson's knee issue is robbing him of an opportunity to be the fourth outside linebacker on the roster if the 49ers decide to carry one this season. Erik Bakhtiari, who played for head coach Jim Harbaugh at the University of San Diego, is the top candidate right now. Fleming would have probably made the roster as a situational speed rusher if he hadn't torn his ACL. |
