49ers’ Bowman not limited after torn Achilles
Apr 26, 2017 at 3:15 PM
• --
All-Pro inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who tore his Achilles on Oct. 2, was a full participant at today's lively minicamp practice. Bowman, who will turn 29 on May 28, was sidelined in 2014 by a horrific injury to his left knee, and his torn Achilles was on the same leg. Without Bowman for the final 12 games last year, the 49ers allowed the sixth-most rushing yards since 1990. The 49ers allowed 122.7 rushing yards a game in three full games with Bowman, and 174.3 in 12 games without him.
