The 49ers came up just short of a Super Bowl trip, but they’d have been short two of their best players if they had made it.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com.
Coupled with a broken ankle for left guard Mike Iupati, that’s a pair of dramatic injuries from a physical game.
That will clear two more spots in next week’s Pro Bowl, in addition to the guys who will replace all the Broncos and Seahawks in the all-star game.
