49ers fear they lost WR Shawn Poindexter to an ACL injury, will re-sign WR Chris Thompson

During Monday Night Football, late in the game, San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Shawn Poindexter went down after a punt. The trainers came out to look at his right leg and eventually helped him off the field. If you had to guess which player came out to see if he was okay, who would it be? The answer is Richard Sherman, who continues to impress as a human being. As for Poindexter, the Niners fear the worst. Kyle Shanahan said on a conference call Tuesday afternoon that they fear Poindexter tore his ACL.
