Crabtree is undergoing additional tests to confirm the injury, the sources said.
It's true Suggs came back in 6 months but to be honest he performed nowhere near to the level he normally did. Best case for Crabtree most likely is a December return, but honestly he should not be a big factor for the 49ers this season.uofmman1122 wrote:I think there have been examples of players coming back and playing (Terrell Suggs last year), but I won't hold my breath. I'd be really surprised if he makes it back before December or January.
Better get dat deer antler spray ready.

You just worry about the Falcons. (I'm no 49ers fan either).Screamin_Eagle174 wrote:Goddamnit. Now the whiners have an excuse when we throttle them again.
Not worried about them. Hawks added pass rush help and the best nickel cb. That last 25 second garbage isn't going to happen again.rkwittem wrote:You just worry about the Falcons.

Then again, we're talking the NFC West, where a 10-6 record can take the division in some years. Look out for Sam Bradford, though, Whiner fans. He appears to be on the upswing....
division smack? The NFC West is easily the best division in the NFL now. Your math must be wrong. Clemons tore his ACL, no? And Irvin just got suspended. So that's 2 down. They added Avril...but who's the nickel CB? Is that a Winfield reference? Not sure he has the wheels to stay there. But who cares? It's May.

Irvin will be back week 5, and Clemons back week 7, well before the Falcons in week 10. We added Avril AND Michael Bennett, who had 8 or 9 sacks last year as well. Antoine Winfield was the highest rated nickel CB last year... certainly an improvement over Trufant.rkwittem wrote:Your math must be wrong. Clemons tore his ACL, no? And Irvin just got suspended.

What rating? Is there some new metric for measuring DBs now? Man, I remember the days when football used to be much simpler.Screamin_Eagle174 wrote:Irvin will be back week 5, and Clemons back week 7, well before the Falcons in week 10.
