49ers Vs. Seahawks Injury Report: Everybody Questionable

by David Fucillo on Dec 23, 2011 2:59 PM PST in 49ers Injury News

The 49ers and Seahawks released their final injury reports for the week and there are no real surprises. The 49ers listed all four of their injured players are questionable. Ginn got in no practice this week and likely will be sitting out the game. Patrick Willis got in limited workouts Thursday and Friday, but I would be a bit surprised if he plays. With the cold, damp weather facing the team in Seattle, it just doesn't make a ton of sense to risk aggravating his hamstring.

Bruce Miller and Braylon Edwards are both listed as questionable as well, but both got in a decent amount of practice time. Yesterday, Coach Harbaugh even indicated Edwards had done some solid work in practice. I would imagine both Miller and Edwards will be playing tomorrow.

The Seahawks listed wide receiver Doug Baldwin as questionable. Baldwin was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury and he subsequently sat out the Thursday and Friday practice sessions. Although Baldwin has been inconsistent at times, the Seahawks receivers have been ravaged by injuries, leaving Baldwin as the biggest threat. Marshawn Lynch will be the focus for the Seahawks offense, but a gimpy or absent Baldwin will benefit the 49ers defense. Baldwin will likely be a game-time decision for the Seahawks.

Worried about the rushing TD record tomorrow.

Lynch will want to break it, but it is not worth putting in Willis just for this purpose.

The biggest part of Lynch's game is his ability to break tackles & fight for those extra yards

Its going to be all bout tackling fundamentals. If they are able to maintain the proper technique (which is something that the coaches have been preaching all week long) then they can limit the amount of damage Lynch can dish out

Which is why the loss of Willis is really tough.

There is no one in the league who tackles as well as him. Grant’s been serviceable, but his tackling is, needless to say, poor compared to Willis.

I wouldn't expect Willis & Baldwin to play

I’m sure they’ll do everything they can to play with the weather and the wet field along with the short turnover I dont expect either one out there. Its too much of a risk especially when Baldwin is going to get a lot of the thrown his way because he is their top passing threat. For Willis he will be desperately needed when the playoffs start & playing against a back like Lynch it would be better for the team to Grant (who is playing some really good football right) out there until Pat is completely healthy.

& if they are able to lock up the #2 seed this weekend, I’d be surprised to see him next week against the Rams

This is it. Braylon’s opportunity.

He better make it count.

San Francisco vs. Seattle

This is a BIG GAME for both teams. Seahawks have the revenge factor and are playing at home where it can be immensely loud. San Francisco needs the win to keep hold of the home field advantage. With Ginn slightly injured, they have to focus on good games from Davis, Gore, and Smith on offense, come on lineman, open it up. Defense should be able to hold it’s own. Another great game by defensive ends is greatly encouraged.
