We don't know the severity of the injury, but the descriptions in these tweets are not good. While we wait to hear on the severity, I thought this was an interesting tweet.

Culliver’s injury presents a dilemma. Both Tarell Brown and Nnamdi Asomugha have primarily played RCB throughout their careers. #49ers

We don't know whether that will become an issue, but it's something that will need to be considered depending on the severity of Culliver's injury.
