Lacerated kidney puts Ahmad Brooks out of commission

49ers training camp has included a handful of concussions, and now a lacerated kidney.

Linebacker Ahmad Brooks will sit out “at least” two weeks according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento after being diagnosed with the rare injury.

Brooks, a former supplemental draft pick of the Bengals, found a home in San Francisco as a situational pass rusher. The recovery time for this injury can widely vary, so it’s difficult to gauge when he could return to the field.
