49ers lose safety Eric Reid for season with biceps injury (Yahoo Sports)

The 49ers will be without safety Eric Reid for the remainder of the season after having surgery to repair a biceps injury Tuesday. ''Losing him is a big loss for our defense,'' defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil said. Reid, a leader in the locker room, joins key defenders NaVorro Bowman (Achilles tear) and Arik Armstead (shoulder surgery) as out of the lineup while the defense ranks at the bottom of the NFL in both yardage and scoring.
