The San Francisco 49ers suffered their first major injury blow of the season Thursday when they learned linebacker Manny Lawson was lost for the season because of a torn ACL.

Lawson suffered the knee injury late in practice Wednesday and a subsequent MRI revaled the tear. He will require season-ending surgery and will eventually be placed on the injured reserve list.

    Awful news. For a player who relies almost exclusively on his speed and lateral quickness, this could have major ramifications next season, too.

    Manny is a huge favorite of mine. Played against him in HS, he played for my fav college team, and he joined my fav pro team. A funny and great guy. I hope he comes back swinging next year. He is in postion to become a star.

    Doh! Another knee injury. Hell, even I’ve had knee surgery this year. It’s like a freakin curse.
