Manny Lawson went down in Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury but the team didn’t think it was too bad at the time and Lawson used a stationary bike the remainder of practice, what they didn’t know though was the ACL was actually tore.
Lawson is second on the team with 14 tackles, showing impressive improvement from his rookie year. He started 11 games last season after San Francisco chose him with the 22nd overall selection, making 65 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks.
Veteran Hannibal Navies and seldom-used second-year pro Parys Haralson are the top candidates to replace Lawson.
