Michael Crabtree: News and Notes

May 22 According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today, Crabtree will reportedly require surgery after suffering a torn Achilles' during the 49ers' OTAs.

Recommendation: Meanwhile, ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Crabtree is undergoing additional tests to confirm the injury. We'll await verification of the report, but assuming Crabtree's Achilles' is torn as feared, then he would be in line to miss most, if not all, of the coming season. While the 49ers could seek veteran help in the wake of this development, young receivers A.J. Jenkins and Quinton Patton could well be called upon to help fill the void.

May 22 Crabtree is not on the practice field for Wednesday afternoon's organized team activity, though the team has provided no update regarding his absence amid reports he tore his Achilles tendon. USA Today reported that Crabtree was hurt during Tuesday's OTA, citing an unidentified source. A torn Achilles tendon usually sidelines a player for several months, even as long as a year.

Advice: The 25-year-old Crabtree, the team's 10th overall pick in the 2009 draft out of Texas Tech, had career highs last season with 85 receptions for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns for the NFC champion Niners, who lost 34-31 to the Ravens in the Super Bowl.
