49ers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters following Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks that preliminary exam showed that ILB NaVorro Bowman suffered ACL injury.

Harbaugh also mentioned that G Mike Iupati has been diagnosed with a fractured left ankle.

Iupati was selected to the Pro Bowl this year, but he will clearly be replaced in the coming days. A fractured ankle will of course require some offseason rehabbing, but he could be ready to go in time for training camp this summer.
