For once, aside from Frank Gore, it looks like the 49ers won't be too short handed anywhere. Allen Rossum is expected to be back returning punts, but will not be returning kicks. With Clements having some hand issues, Singletary has said Dominique Zeigler will be the next in line to return punts. He has little to no experience returning punts but everybody says he has great hands, so let's hope that's enough.
The 49ers have signed Thomas Clayton from the practice squad, which is definitely not a good sign for Gore. One gambling website stated Gore had been downgraded to doubtful, which means there's a 75% chance he won't play. It stinks he might not play in his hometown, but Clayton has emerged as a fan favorite so it'll be nice to see him possibly get a chance to show his stuff in the regular season.
The one guy definitely out is Arnaz Battle as he been placed on the injured reserve. Battle has been suffering from a nagging foot injury that he re-aggravated this past week. Fortunately for the 49ers, all their other wide receivers are healthy and have been showing some impressive skills. Isaac Bruce and Bryant Johnson are set to start on the outside, with Jason Hill lining up in the slot. Although Morgan practiced all week and will likely be active on Sunday, the team is working him back in slowly. And of course, the fact that Bryant Johnson has been playing fairly well the last few weeks helps his cause.
