SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -Two San Francisco 49ers defenders with concussions could be done for the season.
Safety Michael Lewis sustained his third concussion of the season during Sunday’s 45-10 loss to Atlanta and was to have further testing during the off week. Linebacker Jeff Ulbrich, who suffered a concussion on the opening kickoff against St. Louis on Oct. 4, is scheduled to be seen by a neurologist on Wednesday.
It will be the first time the 10th-year player has been examined by a neurologist and Ulbrich said Monday he’s not ruling out retirement after sustaining more concussions during his career than he can count.
Lewis, who sustained two concussions during an 11-day span in the preseason, could be sidelined for a prolonged period.
