49ers-Eagles: Thursday Injury Report

Two days of practice down and we've got some more injury updates:

49ers
Did not Participate in Practice
LB Roderick Green - Stomach Virus
OT Jonas Jennings - Shoulder
LB Manny Lawson - Hamstring

Limited Participation in Practice
SS Michael Lewis - Elbow

Eagles
Did not Participate in Practice
G Shawn Andrews - Back
DE Juqua Parker - Knee
S J.R. Reed - Hamstring/Ankle
RB Brian Westbrook - Rib/Ankle
WR Reggie Brown - Groin

Full Participation in Practice
DE Victor Abiamiri - Wrist
WR Kevin Curtis - Hernia
S Quintin Demps - Knee
DE Darren Howard - Abdomen
RB Dan Klecko - Hand
QB Donovan McNabb - Chest
TE L.J. Smith - Back

The only significant changes are in Michael Lewis and Reggie Brown.  Lewis managed some practice today, which is a good sign that he'll play on Sunday.  Given the struggles of the secondary I'd prefer to not lose any extra bodies.  Keith Lewis is a great special teams player, but he doesn't quite bring what Michael Lewis does.

As for Reggie Brown, he's been a solid receiving option the last two weeks.  On the one hand, a groin injury is always a tough one to bounce back from.  On the other hand, the Eagles offensive coordinator (our very own Marty Mornhinweg) said Brown was "better than he was," whatever that means.  If Mornhingweg is right I'd imagine Brown will show up as questionable tomorrow.  Otherwise, Brown will probably be down as doubtful.

Not that I wish injury upon anyone...

… or anything like that, but there would be one bright side to Michael Lewis being out: the 49ers may run less of that “big sub” package, as they’d be short a safety.

Westbrook

An ESPN story just said that Westbrook’s been ruled out (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3636220). Hopefully that means the Big Sub package can be ruled out too. Bring out the beef!

If they did abandon the "big sub"...

… I wonder what that does to the front seven. Will they turn a DB AND a DL into LBs? Or will they just turn the DB into a LB? For just the Eagles in particular, a 4-3 front would probably be better than a 3-4, as they lack a NT that can hold the point in the middle.

Injuries

Right Guard Shawn Andrews and WR Reggie Brown are also out. I think three of the five teams the 49ers have faced have had some key injuries (Cardinals and Lions as the exceptions). Gotta take advantage.
