Morning, morning. If we weren't through our bye week yesterday, we certainly are today.  Finally, I assume we can get back to having a good number of links. The last two or three days have been the first times all season (I think) in which I didn't get to make the jump. I think I even repeated one or two articles. Now we can officially look ahead and begin previewing the upcoming game against the Texans. Big news is that WR Michael Crabtree looks to be starting, taking the place of Josh Morgan. In sadder news the Niners lost Jeff Ulbrich for the season to a concussion--I hope he can return, he's one of my favorites. Anyway, I'm in kind of a hurry at the moment so I'm going to jump right into the links.

Coach Mike Singletary says that Crabtree looks ready, after having impressed just about everybody in practice. (SacBee.com)

It was pretty fast, actually: the decision to elevate Crabtree to starting status. I have to wonder what exactly he did right, or what even that Josh Morgan could have done wrong. (MercuryNews.com)

LB Jeff Ulbrich is out for season with a concussion. Here's to hoping he is able to return next year, considering he's always been one of my favorites and a huge contributor on special teams. (SFGate.com)

Chilo Rachal and Adam Snyder will rotate at RG to see who will be the starter. Tony Pashos is taking over at RT. (MercuryNews.com)

Here is yesterday's edition of Singletary's Notebook. (49ers.com)

Here's more on the loss of Ulbrich and how it affects some of the other players on the team. He will be missed. (49ers.com)

49ers look for power switch: both literally and figuratively. Literally because the power was out at some point yesterday, figuratively because the offense needs to a spark of something to get going. (PressDemocrat.com)
