Around SBN: Missouri Crashes The Top Line After Kansas Win

49ers Practice Squad 10/14/09

Over the past week the 49ers have made multiple adjustments to their practice squad, leading folks to inquire as to who exactly is on the roster at this point.  I'm posting this on the front page so it's easy for people to find via search.  Additionally, the 49ers.com roster page usually is updated with the practice squad.

Alex Boone - OL
Diyral Briggs - LB
Martail Burnett - LB
Joe Jon Finley - TE
Brit Miller - FB
Khalif Mitchell - DT/quasi-OL
Dominique Zeigler - WR

First off, I mention quasi-OL for Khalif Mitchell because it sounds like he's been getting some time in as an offensive lineman.  Not sure how successful that will be, but it's at least worth noting.  Otherwise, any thoughts on the practice squad as a whole, or who will be next to come off the squad?  Anybody who could contribute immediately, as opposed to just riding the pine as an inactive player?

If the line continues to struggle, I could see Boone being called up to the main roster.

It's far too much of a guessing game to pick out a name from this list.

To be honest, I think the only way that any of them get called up is if there’s an injury and a roster fill becomes absolutely necessary (which, I suppose, would exclude Ziegler – seeing as how we already have an excess of WRs).

My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.

I am looking at the big possibility of the 49ers losing Ulbrich because of his concussions.

So I picked Briggs as coming up. If they lose Lewis for the rest of the year the replacement would either have to be on the team already or from the outside, possibly some other teams’ practice squad.

I wish there was a way of knowing how Boone is doing now, if he is picking up the offense and if he is ready to come onboard.

If we do lose Lewis

I think picking up that SS that the Chargers released might be a good idea and it would cost us Nada (well his paycheck but no picks or players to trade)

Good Point

we sure could use another receiver on this team ;-)

but seriously, does he have any return experience? I wanna say that he returned punts a preseason or two ago

If Lewis is lost

They might grab Clinton Hart who was released by the chargers: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/10/14/chargers.ap/index.html

He was there with Manusky.

HART sucks!

He is worse if not the same as Roman. he is no better what so ever.

Lewis

ia coming back against Houston

by Drew Kerr on Oct 15, 2009 9:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

He's expected back...

… but I think they’re still awaiting more tests and/or results.

by sfgfan on Oct 15, 2009 10:08 AM PDT up reply actions  

We've lost quite a few this week or looks like we might

Rossum is gone, Sheets who a lot of us liked (including myself) gone. Ulbrich and Lewis a good possibility of gone for the year. I’m missing someone aren’t I?

by ChesapeakeBay9er on Oct 14, 2009 6:16 PM PDT reply actions  

where did kory sheets go?
i must have missed something…

by crevis1987 on Oct 14, 2009 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

The Dolphins

picked him up a few days ago.

by BSU_Alum07 on Oct 14, 2009 6:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

anyone else wondering why we are a run heavy team with no PS running backs???

by whitemike1644 on Oct 14, 2009 10:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Jacked

no we let him go, we had the perfect opportunity to bring him up and FAILED!

Judgment day is coming!

by Widowwolf on Oct 14, 2009 11:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

Greenism time!

Kory Sheets is what we thought he was. He’s what we thought he was. We played him in preaseason — who the hell takes a third game of the preseason like it’s BS BS? We played him in the third game — everybody played three quarters —Kory Sheets is who we thought he was! That’s why we took the damn field. Now if you want to crown him, then crown his arse! But he is who we thought he was! And we let him off the hook!

Judgment day is coming!

DUDE I'm STILL PISSED

Releasing Sheets because he can’t pass block is just not a good enough explanation.
Maybe if someone like sheets made some big plays on offense we wouldn’t get blitzed every 3rd down. And maybe if our backup could see a hole or bounce it outside we wouldn’t be in 3rd and long.

Gore is just as guilty (almost) of running into the pile, SOOOOO frustrating. All the good backs in the league regularly bounce the ball outside.

by goatfather on Oct 15, 2009 8:25 AM PDT up reply actions  

We didn't release him

Other teams can sign players from anyone else’s practice squad

by Drew Kerr on Oct 15, 2009 9:50 AM PDT up reply actions  

yes but we could have a made a counter offer to keep him on the Niners by bumping him up to full active:

An NFL practice squad consists of a maximum of eight players, and those eight players are actually free to negotiate with any other team in the NFL. The only catch is if a team signs a player off your practice squad that player must be placed on their active roster, they can not be signed off 1 practice squad only to go on another. If a team wants to keep their practice squad player from signing elsewhere they must promote them to their 53 man roster. If you do lose or promote one of your eight practice squad players you may sign another, just don’t over eight. (You can add a 9th if said player is from outside the United States)

Good explanation here on another SB nation blog: props to him for good explanations:
