Crabtree suffers torn Achilles' in 49ers OTAs

 

USA Today reports Michael Crabtree suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Tuesday's OTAs session.

 
It's a crushing blow for the 49ers, though they're holding out hope Crabtree can return at some point in 2013. Terrell Suggs and Da'Quan Bowers were both able to get on the field last season after suffering torn Achilles' in the spring, but neither ever seemed to make it all the way back to 100 percent. It will be an even tougher challenge for Crabtree with all the stopping/starting and change-of-direction required of receivers. It elevates Anquan Boldin to No. 1 receiver status, and places increased pressure on 2012 first-rounder A.J. Jenkins coming off his lost rookie season. Fourth-round pick Quinton Patton will now be no worse than the Niners' No. 3 receiver until Mario Manningham returns from his torn ACL.

Quinton Patton is a great #2 WR, I loved him in the Draft

they still have the depth but this is a huge blow.

AJ Jenkins is going to have a nice season.  I'd say 800 and 6.
