San Francisco working out Austin Collie

Austin Collie was on his way to being
a solid second option for the Colts before
suffering multiple concussions.

According to ESPN, the San Francisco 49ers are holding workouts with former Indianapolis Colts wide out Austin Collie. Collie was sidelined last year with a knee injury that kept him out almost the entire season. He also suffered three major concussions while playing for, at the time, Peyton Manning's Colts. With the emergence of rookie T.Y. Hilton, Austin Collie quickly found himself on the out with the Colts.

However, due to Michael Crabtree's Achillis injury likely to keep him on the sidelines for most of the season the 49ers now have a spot open on their roster for a receiver. Collie has 173 career receptions in 42 regular-season games, totaling 1,845 yards and 16 touchdowns and would be a welcome addition if he could recapture his past performances.
