Barrows: Michael Crabtree Sidelined 'Weeks' With Foot Injury

Fooch's Update #2: Dominique Zeigler and Bruce Miller join Crabtree on the PUP list.

Fooch's Update: Per Maiocco, the 49ers placed Crabtree on the Physical Unable To Perform List.

That foot injury that sidelined Michael Crabtree during the "Camp Alex" workouts would appear to in fact be more serious than first believed. Matt Barrows is reporting the foot injury will sideline Crabtree four to six weeks, meaning he'll likely miss the entire preseason.

That might be one reason the 49ers were attempting to trade for Chad Ochocinco. Although Crabtree will be back around the end of the preseason or the beginning of the regular season, I would imagine the 49ers will continue pursuing other wide receiver options as insurance given these repeated foot injuries dating back to before the 2009 NFL Combine.

At this point I'm not really sure what to say about Crabtree. This is a tough time to be dealing with this injury as the team is implementing a brand new offense. He showed his rookie year how quickly he could pick up the offense on the field, it's still tough. The upside to this year compared to his rookie year is he has a copy of the playbook and will be in attendance for classroom portions of camp. We'll see how it otherwise impacts his time in camp. Much more to come on this developing story.

Crabtree should change his name to Craptree...

This guy is starting to look like a BUST due to his crappy attitude and ongoing injury.

This guy will be lucky to be a consistant number two NFL W.R.

Craptree has not proven to date he is even close to the draft status that the 9ers drafted him at.

Craptree claimed he could run a 4.4 forty prior to his being drafted. The guy was blowing smoke as we all now can clearly see he can’t get seperation from my grandfather.

He is either soft or injury prone. I hope he proves everyone wrong this year, but those hopes seems to be fading fast.

foot injuries

I don’t think it’s legit to call him soft at this point. Foot injuries can be serious problems. Bill Walton’s career was cut short because of them.

I disagree Fooch..he's not a rookie and has yet to breakout.

Skipping 3 preseason w/ a bunch of preoccupied excuses is just out there..I do hope he breaks out this year though, otherwise I might just join the hater wagon.

holdout isn't antics

lots of great players have heldout. teammates getting into each other’s faces happens all the time. And he was absolutely right about Alex Smith—unil the contract was signed Alex wasn’t his QB.

Plus he tends to have things blown way out of context because he was a top draft pick and people want to draw comparisons to true divas in the league.

by smileyman on Jul 28, 2011 8:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

well he wouldn't be getting that much attention to himself....

if he just kept to himself & go about his business on & off the field. 90% of the time the media gets a quote from him it comes across in a negative & condescending way. I know the media can mislead some peoples perceptions, but not almost all the time with this guy

by Kidd2Petrovic on Jul 28, 2011 8:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes, not that bad, but not that good either

He’s been on the field, but he hasn’t excelled or shown steady improvement. Is he a better receiver than when he came out of TT? He has never run an official 40 because he couldn’t break 4.6 and he knew it would cost him millions if anyone found out. He seems very good at getting injured to get out of doing things he doesn’t want to do. Maybe the injuries are legitimate, maybe not. Maybe they are exaggerated. They do seem to keep from from putting in the time and work to improve, to develop a bond with his QB and other receivers, to spend more time with the offense, to be coached more, to learn the precision of his craft. Hope we can get a real #1 receiver who can go deep and let Crabtree settle in where he belongs, as a #2 receiver. Unless something really dramatic happens, no way will Crabtree get another contract from the 49ers. He doesn’t seem particularly happy to be here anyway. Maybe when he gets healthy he can be traded for someone who could really help this team.

The only real talent he has on the field is good hands. He does not have the speed to run away from guys. Plus with all these injuries, and the hold out. This is ridiculous.

A lot of the times, a huge 3rd year is a result of the work put in the first 2 years. You don’t bust out because it just happens to be your 3rd year.

2008—Kentwan Balmer. Definitely a bust
2007—Patrick Willis and Joe Staley. Future Hall of Famer and pretty solid LT. Not busts
2006—Vernon Davis and Manny Lawson. One of the top 5 TEs in the league, decent player. Not busts
2005—Alex Smith. Given his draft status—bust.
2004—Rashaun Woods. Biggest bust of the list
2003—Kwame Harris. Close to the biggest bust
2002—Mike Rumph. Another bust
2001—Andre Carter. Bust

Well it depends on the injury

but for example with a broken toe you can’t put it in a cast, you can’t really do surgery. You have to just stay off it and let the body heal itself.

Actually Snapple Bottle Cap Fact can verify this but Patrick Willis is the only true 52 in this league.

All other 52’s are actually rounded up from 51.51-51.99 because decimals can’t fit on the jersey. The closest 52 to Willis was actually Ray Lewis and he was only a 51.94.

Great offseason?

They are resigning a bunch of their own guys for a bunch of money, even though they were so bad they had the no. 1 overall pick. Besides the Olson trade they haven’t really improved much, and with Cam they will probably struggle for another couple years.

And maybe not even next. The injury may have killed them, but they were still awful all the way around. Even if everyone gets healthy the best they can hope for is like 5 or 6 wins.

If he doesn’t produce this year, he can be a number two or three for all I care…. for us still because I do think he does have value still.

It really sucks about his foot because I think he would’ve been far more productive the last two years. I just think this will continue to be an issue.

Crabtree

Crabtree is most definitely a bust. Here’s why, very unlikely he resigns with the niners after is contract is up. Never wanted to play for the niners, even if ? he goes some where else and produces as far as niners would be concerned he’d be a bust. Niners were the ones who drafted him, but got little out of him, BUST. Niners should have drafted Josh Freeman in 2009 and traded up in this years draft for Julio Jones or A.J. Green.

I'm not sure about Crabtree

I read somewhere that he has about 15 million in escalators that are contingent on him participating in 90% of a teams annual offseason workouts.

He’s leaving quite a bit of money on the table if he’s faking.

Still, his 3rd year without training camp isn’t going to help him perform during the season.
