49ers' NaVorro Bowman: Quiet preseason as backups compete for spot

Bowman picked up his first two tackles of the preseason in Saturday's win over Denver.

Analysis:

Bowman has been having a quiet preseason, but we shouldn't read too much into that as the 49ers have been focused more on the production of their other middle linebackers who are competing for a shot to start next to Bowman. They key for him is staying healthy as we head towards Week 1. Bowman should be viewed as one of the top IDP options in 2016 after leading the league in both solo tackles (116) and combined tackles (154) last season..
