Niners Starting DE Oliver Tears ACL In OTA's

[gr8slayer]

49ers DE Melvin Oliver is expected to miss the upcoming season after tearing the ACL in his right knee during Tuesday's OTA practice.
Oliver, a rookie starter in 2006, will be replaced in the down-line rotation by free agent signee Sam Rayburn. The LSU alum was slated for a reserve role as a sophomore after San Francisco beefed up the end spot this offseason.

It's sad when guys get hurt like that in the off-season.

It's even sadder when these guys who get hurt like that are playing for the Bills.

Well unless they want to immediately start season with players with no practice off-season injuries will happen.
