49ers intriguing WR Rogers out for season with torn ACL

49ers intriguing WR Rogers out for season with torn ACL Niners wide receiver Eric Rogers, who led the CFL in receiving yards last year, tore his ACL in practice Thursday and will miss the season, head coach Chip Kelly said today. Rogers who has never played in an NFL regular-season game, had 1,448 receiving yards, tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns (10) and was third in receptions (87) last season with Calgary. After the season, Rogers received 13 contract offers after visiting 16 NFL teams. Given the state of the 49ers’ wide receiver corps, Rogers was a candidate to earn playing time this season.
