The Facts: Rogers, a coveted former CFL star signed this offseason, torn his ACL on Thursday, per Chip Kelly.
Diehards Line:
Rogers lacks NFL experience, but the team seemed hopeful he could take big step forward in the NFL. He signed as a UDFA out of a Division III school, and while the CFL is not on the level of the NFL, leading that league in the major receiving categories is still not something to be ignored. And with no clear-cut No. 2 receiver on this team, it was a huge opportunity for Rogers. Now he'll have to wait another season. Quinton Patton and DeAndre Smelter are now the top contenders for that role -- although Jerome Simpson could be a factor.
