Brit Miller News

Frank Gore has had some of his best rushing games against Seattle, including a 207-yard performance earlier this year.

Seattle Drive: As usual, the 49ers looked like they had 13 guys on defense on the opening drive.

Brit Miller , the hero in a preseason game long since forgotten, was promoted from the practice squad and will be on the active roster for the 49ers on Sunday in Seattle.

Dwight Clark is back where he began. The 49ers announced Tuesday that the man who came down with "The Catch" will serve as the team's business-operations consultant.

Rookie safety Curtis Taylor's season is over for the San Francisco 49ers. The team placed Taylor on injured reserve Tuesday with a strained hip, which he injured after being hit on punt coverage late in the first quarter of Sunday's 20-3 win over Jacksonville.

As expected, undrafted rookie Diyral Briggs made it through waivers this afternoon and was promptly added to the 49ers' practice squad.

What a coup to sign Tony Pashos . The team now has another proven player to backup both tackle spots and challenge Adam Snyder on the right side.

They are: OT Alex Boone, WR Dobson Collins, TE J.J. Finley, FB Brit Miller, NT Khalif Mitchell, RB Kory Sheets and WR Dominique Zeigler.

Good-looking rookie running back Kory Sheets was one of 20 players released by the 49ers today as they reduced their rosters to 53 players.

San Francisco fullback Brit Miller runs for extra yardage as Dallas safety Pat Watkins latches on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

The 49ers cut five players on Sunday, a day before the mandatory Tuesday deadline.

On Tuesday September 1, NFL rosters have to be cut down to 75 men . According to Mike Sando , rosters have to be at 80 men by tomorrow.

It is indeed that time of the week. Eight days ago we rolled out the second 53-man roster projection and plenty has happened since then to mix things up a little bit more.

Now, it's Alex Smith's turn. A week after Shaun Hill started the 49ers preseason opener, Smith gets the nod for Saturday night's game against the Raiders.

Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat says Parys Haralson could "easily" finish the season with 10 or more sacks if he could stay healthy.

The 49ers and Raiders meet tonight in what is typically the second most important preseason game of the season.

A week has passed since 49ers coach Mike Singletary was asked: Who is Brit Miller? It's pretty clear the correct answer is: An intriguing player who has earned a long look at training camp.

The 49ers running game has been the main focus of the team's new offense. On Friday, the 49ers saw the emergence of rookies Glen Coffee, Kory Sheets and fullback Brit Miller.

Somewhere out there, Michael Crabtree was watching. Crabtree is one of three first-round picks to not yet sign a contract with the team that drafted him, and he's the leading contender to be the final holdout.

SAN FRANCISCO - Even after watching the 49ers hang on for a 17-16 victory over the Denver Broncos in their exhibition opener Friday night at Candlestick Park, coach Mike Singletary was less than impressed.
