Ray McDonald News

Although Justin Forsett wasn't going to start the game at running back for the Seahawks, the 49ers expected to see plenty of the former Cal star considering A.) starter Julius Jones was coming back from a serious chest injury that at one point had him coughing up blood B.) Forsett has rushed for more than 120 yards in two of the last three weeks.

Specifically, those frying pan hands that marked his first three seasons. Though he caught six passes for 69 yards, Davis also dropped three catchable balls.

Vernon Davis caught six passes for 69 yards and a score for the 49ers , who bounced back from a 30-24 loss to Packers last Sunday.

Jags will go for it on 4th and 2: Haralson storms the quarterback, Smith forces a fumble that is recovered by Ray McDonald, a loss of 20 yards ... 49ers take over at own 34: Jaguars driving at SF 12 ... MJD gains five to the SF 7 ... 1st and goal: MJD to the three ... 2nd and goal: Inc.

In their attempt to beat the Packers in Green Bay for the first time since 1990, the 49ers might want to zero in on their opponent's one glaring weakness today at Lambeau Field: Sacks.

Everybody knows what a sack looks like. That's when a defense player tackles the passer behind the line of scrimmage, often leaving a quarterback-sized imprint in the turf.

The TV angle sure looked like Jay Cutler might have had a good shot at running for a touchdown on the last play against the 49ers if he mixed in a few pump fakes to freeze the defense.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Takeo Spikes is questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis with a shoulder injury.

Jim Caldwell continued his dispassionate march into the NFL record books. Sunday's 18-14 win over the San Francisco 49ers pushed the Colts' record -- and Caldwell's -- to 7-0. He's just the third rookie coach in league history to open a season 7-0, the first since Potsy Clark of the Portsmouth Spartans opened 8-0 in 1931.

The numbers were out of whack and certainly not up to the normal lofty standards set by Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts offense.

After losing their first game of a five-game stretch, the 49ers face their toughest opponent of the season as they hit the road to face the Indianapolis Colts.

We've got the final injury report for the week, but there remain a lot of question marks.

Takeo Spikes #51 of the San Francisco 49ers heads downfield against the Green Bay Packers during a preseason game on August 16, 2008 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California.

The 49ers had an earlier-than-normal Friday practice today because they are flying off to the eastern time zone later this afternoon.

The 49ers will keep an eye on thrice-concussed safety Michael Lewis another week.

He sustained his third concussion since Aug. 18 in the Atlanta game on Oct. 11. A concussion to linebacker Jeff Ulbrich compelled the 49ers to place the 10-year veteran on injured reserve, but Lewis' status is week-to-week. "I think it's a matter of continuing to talk to the doctors and trainers and what's really best for him," coach Mike ...

We've got the final injury report for the week and we have official word that Michael Lewis is out.

28, he seemed to be coming to a team in need of his talents after spending the first four years of his career with the Tennessee Titans.

The 49ers and Texans have released their injury reports for Wednesday. 49ers OUT S Reggie Smith LIMITED IN PRACTICE CB Tarell Brown , S Michael Lewis , DE Ray McDonald FULL PARTICIPATION RB Frank Gore , CB Marcus Hudson Texans DID NOT PRACTICE LB Brian Cushing , S Nick Ferguson FULL PARTICIPATION K Kris Brown , LB DeMeco Ryans Both head coach Mike ...

Lewis, who sustained two concussions during an 11-day span in the preseason, could be sidelined for a prolonged period.
