NFL Media is reporting that, according to a source, San Francisco 49ers ILB NaVorro Bowman is feared to have a torn Achilles.
Bowman is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday to check the severity of the injury. He went down with a non-contact injury during the third quarter of the team's game against the Dallas Cowboys at Levi's Stadium. The Pro Bowl and All-Pro linebacker was rushing the line of scrimmage and went down on the field grabbing his left ankle.
Bowman received attention from the 49ers' medical staff and eventually walked off of the field with a limp and some help from team trainers. He was replaced in the game by Nick Bellore.
Bowman was taken via cart to the 49ers locker room. While head coach Chip Kelly always has a press conference the day following a game, it isn't always late enough to get any injury updates from. We'll know more once the results of the MRI are made known.

Javon Hargrave: 49ers-Eagles would have been a different game with a healthy Brock Purdy
Everything changed in the NFC Championship Game when quarterback Brock Purdy exited early with an injury. He eventually returned because his backup, Josh Johnson, exited with a concussion. Purdy could not throw, though. He suffered a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, leaving the San Francisco 49ers to become one-dimensional, abandoning the pass and depending solely on the run game.
For fans, it was a difficult game to watch. Everyone anticipated a more evenly matched battle between the two best teams in the NFC. Instead, they got an Eagles powerhouse defense going against a limping 49ers offense.
"We kind of knew it was going to be different when all you can do is run the ball," former Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave said
