Coach Mike Singletary met with the media, and here are the issues he addressed: --Safety Michael Lewis will not suit up for the game. He sustained his third concussion since mid-August on Oct. 11, and the 49ers are taking a conservative approach with him. "It's a matter of continuing to talk to the doctors and talk to the trainers and making a decision of what's best for him," Singletary said. --Mark Roman, the team's third safety, will make his first start of the season. --Third QB Nate Davis missed his second day with an "illness" and will probably not make the trip to Houston, Singletary said. When asked if Davis has the flu, Singletary said, "It could be, but I'm not sure. I didn't go that far. I just know it's some kind of cold." **(UPDATE: A 49ers spokesman said Davis does not have swine flu.)** --Singletary was asked about the quarterback situation. "I wanted to go with the guy who gave us the best cha...

Michael Hamlin's playing status uncertain

With the addition of return man Allen Rossum, the Cowboys will basically give up a coverage guy when it comes to setting the 45-man roster.

THN Weekly with Andre Carter - Week 7

With their loss to yet another winless team, this time to the then 0-5 Kansas City Chiefs, the Redskins may have hit rock bottom. At least that's how the majority of fans and media, local and national, view things. But not Andre Carter, who has been on both sides of the fence, having played both for successful playoff teams and teams that were amongst the bottom of the league...

Michael Crabtree ready to debut Sunday against the Texans

As fantasy players enter their bye weeks, the idea of playing Crabtree may prove enticing to some fantasy owners. On the bright side, the 49ers are playing a Texans team that ranks 23rd in total defense and are limited in terms of game-breaking offensive players. On the downside, Crabtree is extremely green, and there is no telling what kind of chemistry he will have with quarterback...

Gore takes part in full practice

The practice was closed to the media (all Wednesday practices are closed this season), so I have no idea how Michael Crabtree looked in his first full practice running 49ers plays with Shaun Hill at quarterback.   The 49ers announced that safety Reggie Smith will not play this week. He sustained a severe groin strain Sept. 27 against the Vikings. Also, safety...
