Mixchael Lewis concussion situation shaping roster?

If Lewis can't play alot I would really like to see Reggie Smith get some action on passing downs. He looks like a player to me. I sure hope Lewis is ok & can play this year.

I agree. Roman will be an okay fill-in for awhile, but his game is very, very different than Lewis so we will lose a lot. If Lewis is out for an extended period of time, I too hope they work Reggie in somehow. He's made enough plays this preseason to earn some playing time. We need to see if he's really the future at safety.

I agree that it appears the Niners are playing conservative with Lewis' physical condition. Carry five safeties is irregular, especially since Hudson can double-duty at safety, if needed.

I'm not sure the Niners would feel comfortable carrying three young pups at safety if Lewis continues to have issues. Wouldn't be surprised to see a waiver wire acquisition.

I still think Hill is not safe at WR if Crabtree reports. Spurlock is a guy the team can stash on the PS, but he is the main guy at the Wildcat, and has tremendous versatility. I don't see the same with Hill.

Spurlock isn't practice squad eligible.

You are right. He's burned through his three years already. I knew he had not been active for nine games (only eight), but he has already served three years on practice squads.

Thanks for the note.

Yeah I am wondering the same thing, a team does not usually keep 5 safeties so for us to keep 5 safeties is a little strange. I am worried about Michael Lewis and I have no clue what his status is for the AZ game, I don't think either of the Mike's know either.

We forget that Michael Lewis is a good football player because we bash him for not being very good in pass coverage and not making many plays but he is very good vs the run, I believe he was 2nd or 3rd in the NFL for tackles for safeties. We need him in there.
