49ers Vs. Cardinals, Injury Report: Tarell Brown Questionable

by David Fucillo on Nov 18, 2011 3:00 PM PST in 49ers Injury News

The San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals each released their final injury reports for Sunday's game and the 49ers had an unexpected addition as Tarell Brown is listed as questionable after being limited in practice today. He injured his knee, but there is no report on what exactly happened. We'll post Coach Harbaugh's comments in a little bit, but they are pre-practice.

If Brown is unable to go on Sunday, Shawntae Spencer would likely be active for the first time in a while. Spencer has dealt with various injuries but has been a healthy scratch the last couple weeks. He was a full participant in practice this week so he would be good to go for Sunday. If Brown can't go, I'd be curious to see how Spencer and Chris Culliver rotate alongside Carlos Rogers. Spencer has had some success in the past against Larry Fitzgerald, so maybe he gets the call at some point?

It's also worth noting that this is the first week Moran Norris has not appeared on the injury report. If he does not play on Sunday it will be as a healthy scratch.

Spencer ^^^

Is it just me

or does no one get benched around here? Seems whenever someone is underperforming, they develop an injury. I don’t have a problem with this method, just seems curious. It’s actually great that no one ever loses face or is denigrated.

I wonder what exactly got Spencer in Harbaugh dog house?

He has been healthy what the last two-three weeks but yet does not even suit up.

I've always seen Spencer as the better of he and Brown

Apparently Fangio sees it differently? Brown does seem to be the burn victim lately.

I thought I read somewhere that Brown is of our fastest C.B.'s

certainly faster than Spencer.

by BigMar on Nov 18, 2011 4:37 PM PST up reply actions

Culliver is faster

Brock is faster too

I believe brock and culliver are our fastest

Frank Gore telling everyone here is ready to go...so why is he listed Questionable?

by BigMar on Nov 18, 2011 4:27 PM PST reply actions

injury status

Keep the Cardinals on their toes, I suppose.

The opposite could be said of Kolb, it has him listed as Questionable but everyone knows he is out for the game

leaves room for doubt

I'm gonna predict Culliver starts

And covers Fitzgerald. He did a good job against Calvin Johnson. He said the only time Johnson was open was when he pushed off. I just see this convenient injury as the Niner’s way of starting Cully over Brown, just like they did with Miller over Norris.

They started Tarrell over Shawntae due to "injuries"

For that matter.

Not to beat a dead horse

But Brown bumped his knee in practice. When Frank was going absolutely no where against NYG, he hurt his knee. First Frank said someone twisted him up, then he said he hyper-extended it, then it was said he bruised it, landing on it. When Frank was asked about his knee the other day, he looked kind of sheepish, and said he was fine. I kinda doubt Frank was even injured. The NYG weren’t going to let him run anywhere. That was fairly apparent. Frank even said he could’ve played, but coach said no.
