49ers Vs. Giants, NFC Championship Game: Everybody Listed As Questionable

by James Brady on Jan 20, 2012 4:30 PM PST in 49ers Injury News

We've got the final injury reports before the NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. We've had a couple guys banged up, most notably Jonathan Goodwin and Delanie Walker. The former was injured against the New Orleans Saints and is officially listed as questionable (everybody on the report is officially listed as questionable, as it happens), but I'd be surprised if he doesn't play.

Walker is another story. He just returned to practice recently after missing some time, and he's been limited in practice since Wednesday. Frankly, I'd be a little surprised if he saw significant playing time against the Giants, but his presence would certainly help the 49ers offense. The biggest change from Thursday is the fact that Goodwin, Tarell Brown and Patrick Willis saw the practice field. Walker, Willis and Goodwin were limited in practice on Friday, and apparently Ted Ginn Jr. did some kind of activity, but not enough to put him on the report as limited.

Needless to say, I'd be shocked if Willis didn't play.

He did this against the Saints, too

they are “questionable” because Harbaugh once said that he likes to ask questions rather than provide answers.

by Mood_Indigo on Jan 20, 2012 4:43 PM PST up reply actions

Because Harbaugh always lists everyone as questionable.

Matt Barrows said Ginn had limited practice

I think the only one who won’t play is Ginn. I’d be shocked if any of the others didn’t play.

Harbaugh is mocking the injury report

I bet you they ALL play including Ginn.

by AptosNinerFan on Jan 20, 2012 4:54 PM PST reply actions

....Maybe Ginn don't want to play in bloodbath.

by BigMar on Jan 20, 2012 4:56 PM PST up reply actions

Saw a tweet earlier in the week, I think from Barrows

Something about expecting the following injury report from Harbaugh at some point:
Lincoln (Head) – Questionable.

Harbaugh lists everyone as questionable. Ginn and Delanie are the only ones I could see potentially missing this game.

It would be nice to have a full array of receivers though

At least in terms of bodies to be used as “decoys”, and for blocking schemes.

So say Ginn and or Walker DO NOT plan on playing, can the 49ers deactivate both, and replace them with 2 players on the practice squad?. I am sure the coach knows his roster better than i do. I just want them to have a full array of offensive bodies for this game.

by tom p on Jan 20, 2012 5:58 PM PST reply actions

Deactivate?

Do you mean place Walker and Ginn on the game-day inactive list? If that happens, no they can’t be replaced with practice squad players.

Or do you mean IR? If they place them on IR then we have two open roster spots to fill and their replacements would likely be from the practice squad.

But Ginn and Walker won’t be placed on IR.

not from the practice squad unless they waive a player

of the 53 players on the roster, only 46 are active for the game. So if those to can’t go, they’ll just activate 2 from the remaining 9.

I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!

Let's Go Giants!!!!
