Marcus Hudson News

Before Monday's game, 49ers President Jed York voiced strong support for both coach Mike Singletary and general manager Scot McCloughan heading into the 2010 season.

The 49ers will be without starting left tackle Joe Staley against the Cardinals.

Patrick Willis said if the Arizona Cardinals are going to capture the NFC West crown Monday night, they will have to do so through the air.

The 49ers have gone all season with only two tight ends on the active roster. They added a third on Friday, but don't look for him Sunday in Seattle.

We've got the final injury report with one somewhat surprising addition. RB Justin Forsett was a full participant in practice today but is now listed as questionable because of a quad injury.

Here is the final injury report for this Sunday's game. DOUBTFUL DT Kentwan Balmer , T Joe Staley QUESTIONABLE WR Isaac Bruce , CB Marcus Hudson , LB Takeo Spikes PROBABLE WR Arnaz Battle , LB Ahmad Brooks , WR Brandon Jones , S Michael Lewis , DT Ray McDonald , RB Michael Robinson , T Adam Snyder The Seahawks injury report has yet to be made ...

Although tomorrow is Thanksgiving, the 49ers will be holding practice as normal this week, which means we get the normal injury report and coach press conferences.

But Singletary is still wary of going to a shotgun formation that hasn't been practiced enough to limit potential mistakes.

The loss of Nate Clements meant the team needed some cornerback depth behind Dre Bly and Marcus Hudson .

A rookie running back can be the fastest guy on the team, have the best moves and be a great pass catcher.

Fooch's Update: Was just notified that Brandon Mebane did not practice today either.

Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks were the only 49ers who were held out of Wednesday's practice.

It's about that time for one final roster projection before we head into the regular season, don't you think? Teams must have their rosters trimmed down to 53 at some point today and I figure we'll take one last swing at it.

After all, the guys could've gotten the afternoon off and decided to spend the day at Great America, the amusement park down the road from their practice complex.

HOW MANY CORNERBACKS ARE THERE GOING INTO CAMP?: 9. HOW MANY WILL THEY KEEP?: At the end of last year, they had 5. 22 Nate Clements 23 Marcus Hudson 25 Tarell Brown 30 Terrail Lambert 32 Dre Bly 35 Jahai Word-Daniels 36 Shawntae Spencer 40 Carlos Thomas Bly brings a different look to the secondary.

After a brief hiatus - sorry, was traveling - we wrap up the defense with the remainder of the cornerbacks ... Marcus Hudson .
