Here’s a possible conclusion that can be drawn from the trade of backup outside linebacker Parys Haralson to the Saints on Monday: The 49ers are confident outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks won’t be suspended to start the regular season. Today, it was obvious defensive coordinator Vic Fangio feels that way. Will Brooks play in Week 1 against the Packers? “Everything that I know of, yes,†Fangio said. Could that change? “No one’s told me that it could,†Fangio said. “It’s been a non-issue that way. I’m pretty sure the league came out and announced that he would not be suspended.†If the NFL has determined whether Brooks will be suspended, it hasn’t made a public announcement.
