    San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree suffered a torn Achilles tendon during organized team activities Tuesday and will soon undergo what could be season-ending surgery, a person informed of the injury told USA TODAY Sports.

    The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the 49ers haven't commented on the injury, which used to be an automatic season-ender but has since become one that can sometimes be rehabbed in a matter of months -- as Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Da'Quan Bowers did last year.

    Both players tore the tendon in the spring and returned to the field after starting the year on the physically unable to perform list.

    Crabtree, 25, is coming off a breakout season in which he had career-highs in receptions (85), yards (1,105) and touchdowns (nine), following three seasons in which he struggled to live up to the expectations placed upon him when the Niners selected him 10th overall in 2009.

    Torn Achilles injuries are a snitch. I friend of mine tore his while moto crossing a long time ago. Took him about a year to be able to walk normally.

    Niners will miss Crabtree but they'll probably do alright without him.

    And as a WR, that's one of the worst injuries.

    I had a partial tear last April. Hard to keep the muscles loose a year after surgery.
