WEEK 4: 49ers @ Eagles
- Thread starter Chree
- Start date
i can see our DL gettin in on their OL badly, but same can be said with their DL on our OL lol. its a toss up really. I wonder who they gonna put on VD? none of them corners can cover him, none of their LBs or Safetys can match up with him. Its on Gore Hunter and VD IMO. Im worried about our secondary as usual. looks like they not gonna have maclin in, but desean should get doubled at all times
Current Injury Reports for Eagles....
ESPN's John Clayton expects Michael Vick (hand) to miss "a day of practice at the most" this week.
"Vick should be able to go" against the 49ers this week, Clayton added. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported earlier in the day that Vick is "likely" to play this week. Vince Young is tentatively expected to handle backup duties going forward.
Riley Cooper (concussion) is considered day to day.
Cooper will have to go through the concussion protocol in an effort to get cleared by Sunday. He's a poor bet to step into a possible void created by Jeremy Maclin's hamstring injury.
Jeremy Maclin's hamstring injury is not as bad as initially thought, according to coach Andy Reid.
Maclin had an MRI which painted a rosy picture and he has been listed as day to day. Still, hamstring injuries for receivers are concerning. Maclin was unable to finish yesterday's loss and he'll likely miss practice time this week. Owners still should add Steve Smith as insurance.
Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer considers Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) "unlikely" to face the 49ers in Week 4.
McLane is speculating, but the fact that Maclin couldn't return to Sunday's loss to the Eagles suggests his hamstring pull could be a multi-week injury. Riley Cooper, Maclin's backup at split end, is also considered "unlikely" for Week 4 after a concussion. It's possible that Steve Smith will start against the 49ers at flanker, with DeSean Jackson at split end and Jason Avant in the slot. Smith is the Eagles receiver to target on waiver wires this week.

Current Injury news for 49ers
According to ESPN's John Clayton, Frank Gore (ankle) is "going to be able to start" this week against the Eagles.
It's hard to tell whether Clayton is confirming independently or simply going by coach Jim Harbaugh's comments from Monday. Harbaugh predicted that Gore would be "good to go" in Week 4 after missing the majority of the late-game snaps against the Bengals.
49ers RG Chilo Rachal was benched in favor of Adam Snyder during Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Rachal committed three penalties and gave up two sacks in the first half. He only played in "heavy" packages in the second half. Coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed the job is now up for grabs. "To be determined," Harbaugh said about his starting right guard. "There's a competition there." Frank Gore should want Rachal in there as the better run blocker.
