49ers TE Delanie Walker’s Jaw Injury Still Lingers

PLAYERS: Delanie Walker,  Ronnie Lott
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers

In the pantheon of NFL injuries, it probably ranks below Ronnie Lott And The Severed Pinkie, but it’s still enough to give one pause: Delanie Walker still can’t feel part of his face. This week, the 49ers tight end said he severed nerves on the left side of his face as a result of the broken jaw he suffered on Dec. 24 in a win at Seattle. Walker still has some isolated numbness as a result of the injury, which, he said, doesn’t affect him on the field (or his eating, for that matter). He’s been told that area could remain numb permanently if he doesn’t regain sensation within the next few years. The left side of Walker’s face was completely numb when he played in the NFC Championship Game, 29 days after his injury. “I’m still going to play football fast,” Walker said. “When you think about injuries, you’re going to get hurt. I don’t think about it at all.”

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  July 30, 2012
The 49ers are going to try to establish a better passing game this season, and first-round draft pick A.J. Jenkins is expected to be a significant part of the plan. By adding Jenkins, Randy Moss and Mario Manningham, San Francisco is hoping their offense can become more dynamic and Alex Smith can be more effective throwing the ball.

Niners' Gore ready for competition, more winning

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  July 30, 2012
Frank Gore doesn't much believe in being overworked. While the 49ers went to great lengths to expand their depth chart behind Gore, the team's leading rusher with 1,211 yards last season, it's not in the prideful 29-year-old's job description or genetic fiber to hand the ball off. He's not only leading by example at practice, Gore is giving younger running...

Harbaugh defends A.J. Jenkins, bashes ‘clueless’ critics

Via Helmet2Helmet  |  July 29, 2012
This past April, the 49ers pulled off a bit of a head-scratcher, selecting receiver A.J. Jenkins with their first-round draft pick, No. 30 overall. It’s not to say Jenkins isn’t a good football player — his highly-productive college resume speaks for itself — but many expected the club to go in a different direction. Those who were against the pick were given some ammo during...

How Moss Can Win Your League

Via Air It Out Sport  |  July 29, 2012
Randy Moss found his way back to the league this off season with the 49ers. Arguably the most physically gifted specimen to play the position Randy has the opportunity to garnish a Hall of Fame career with a ring. Moss will be available in the late rounds as hes been written off by most experts. In deeper leagues Randy can boast receiver two numbers, and might win you a game here...

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) Frank Gore may stand alone among all San Francisco 49ers running backs but he's not done working.
