PHILADELPHIA - San Francisco receiver Terrell Owens broke his left collarbone Sunday, possibly ending his career with the 49ers.
Owens, who will become a free agent after the season, had one catch for 20 yards before leaving late in the first half of San Francisco's win.
Owens, who did not speak with reporters, will visit doctors today to determine if surgery is necessary. He will not play in the team's finale against Seattle.
"He'll be back to play next year, but obviously he's out for Saturday," coach Dennis Erickson said.
It was not clear how Owens was injured. He left for the locker room late in the first half and returned to the sideline later in street clothes.
