Cursed San Francisco 49ers suffer yet another linebacker loss

The San Francisco 49ers are cursed. That’s got to be it at this point.

After the firing of head coach Jim Harbaugh, the 49ers have undergone a series of dramatic changes, including a slew of free-agent departures and the retirement of linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland.

Now they can add injury to insult with the news that reserve linebacker Chase Thomas has torn his ACL while working out at Stanford, according to sfgate.com. Thomas played for the Cardinal and made the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2013 and added depth at outside linebacker, where the team is a bit thin beyond Aldon Smith, Ahmad Brooks and Aaron Lynch.

Was Levi’s Stadium built on a fault line? At this point, we’d expect no less. Things appear to be crumbling a bit in San Fran.
