Michael Crabtree Listed As Probable; Expected To Play With Foot Injury

Crabtree, who has battled foot injuries dating back to his final season at Texas Tech, was a limited participant during all of this week’s practices. Crabtree is likely to be limited in practice and on the team’s injury report throughout the season with the foot injury.

The 10th overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft has 25 receptions for 263 yards and one touchdown this season, during which he’s beginning to shed the diva label, earning praise from first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh for buying into the team concept.

“He just keeps getting better and more comfortable, and his abilities are shining through,” Harbaugh said via Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee. “And he’s the consummate team type of guy the way he’s blocked.”
