Injury reports come and go, and news of players in and out of lineups can make our eyes glaze over sometimes.
And sometimes, you remember these are human beings playing games.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks won’t play this week against the Giants, after the death of his sister.
Agent Greg Williams said that Brooks’ 40-year old sister Casandra died of Lupus.
Brooks has been having a tumultuous last few months, including facing a misdemeanor count of sexual battery, though the league chose to not place him on paid leave, and he has played as normal for the 49ers so far this season.
