SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Mike Iupati sustained a sprained ligament in his left knee Sunday at New Orleans and it isnt considered to be season-ending, a person with direct knowledge of the injury said Wednesday. An MRI this week revealed the sprained medial collateral ligament, and Iupati isnt expected to need surgery, the person said, requesting anonymity because the 49ers didnt reveal specifics on what happened to Iupati. He walked to the sideline with assistance in the third quarter of a 23-20 loss at the Superdome and then was carted off to the locker room. The injury happened when running back Frank Gore got tackled into the back of Iupatis left leg. The 26-year-old Iupati, a staple in San Franciscos veteran, much-improved O-line, has started every game since the 49ers selected him 17th in the 2010 NFL draft out of Idaho. That run would end if he isnt able to play Monday night at Washington. "I dont know the timetable or how much time he might miss," the person said. "Im not sure Mike knows. Theyre still evaluating him." Iupati wasnt in the locker room during the portion open to reporters Wednesday, when the reigning NFC champion Niners (6-4) cancelled a scheduled walk-through because of a downpour and moved their preparations for the Redskins indoors. Coach Jim Harbaugh will next address the media Thursday. Adam Snyder, who didnt speak to reporters, would be the likely substitute to replace Iupati. "Mikes a great player, a Pro Bowl player," running back Frank Gore said Wednesday. "He helps out our running game a lot, but Snyder is a vet player. Hes been playing since he was a rookie. Hell be fine. But we will miss Mike. I think Snyder can come in and play." Air Force 1 Low Cheap . Louis Cardinals a hard-fought victory.

BOSTON - Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was due in court for a pretrial hearing in the drive-by killings of two men outside a Boston nightclub in 2012. Prosecutors say Hernandez fatally shot Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado after one of them apparently spilled a drink on him in the club. They say Hernandez and a friend later found the men waiting in their car at a red light. He allegedly fired at least five shots into the car, killing the two men and injuring a third. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the killings, which came about six weeks before he signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Patriots.
