Linebacker Shea McClellin wasn't present for the start of practice today, and the news isn't good. According to a source, McClellin suffered a setback during a recent practice and now is shelved for the foreseeable future.
According to a source, it was a concussion that put McClellin on injured reserve to start the season. He had been eligible to be activated this week to play against the Broncos, but the source indicated that McClellin suffered another concussion and it's now possible that he won't make it back at all this season.
With the loss of Dont'a Hightower, and the veteran's ability to play multiple positions, McClellin's addition would have helped.
