49ers LB Brooks expected back to play against Ravens

SANTA CLARA – Outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks remained away from the 49ers on Wednesday after the death of his sister. But he could be available for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

“Ahmad is not back, yet,” 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said Wednesday morning. “(I’ll) update you as that goes.”

Brooks is attending the funeral service on Wednesday of his older sister, Krsunthia Brooks-Childs, who died last week of lupus. The service was scheduled to take place in Angie, Louisiana. Brooks-Childs was 40.

She left the Washington area in 2013 to accept an assistant principal position in Covington, Louisiana.
