49ers lose CFL star Eric Rogers to torn ACL

49ers lose CFL star Eric Rogers to torn ACL

Eric Rogers led the Canadian Football League in receiving yards last season and was a highly sought after prospect when he decided to play south of the border this year. The 49ers signed him by guaranteeing him $225,000, the biggest guarantee for a CFL player since the Dolphins gave Cameron Wake a $1 million signing bonus in 2008.

And now Rogers’ first NFL season is over before it started.

San Francisco coach Chip Kelly announced today that Rogers suffered a torn ACL in practice and will miss the entire season. Rogers suffered the injury while doing a non-contact kickoff coverage drill.

That’s a tough blow for the 49ers, who thought the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Rogers looked like a good fit for Kelly’s offense. He may still be, but he won’t get the chance to show it until 2017.
