It could not have been a perfect game could it!?!? Maaan, looks like a serious injury to Morgan that should have been avoided. Morgan should not have been in there and we probably should not have been throwing the ball. Harbaugh running up the score= bad karma **EDITED FOR UPDATE: Joshua Morgan, who since entering the league in 2008 has been the 49ers' most dependable and durable wide receiver, will have surgery today on his fractured right ankle, according to a source with knowledge of the procedure. The 49ers have not yet decided whether Morgan, 26, will be placed on injured reserve, which would end his season.

Hopefully he can be back for the final third of the season to help us in our playoff push.

When it comes to predicting Morgan's return, which bone fractured usually predicts recovery. Was it fibula (faster recovery), tibia (much slower recovery) or yikes both! They are other "bones of the ankle" but with Morgan's mechanism of injury the above are most likely. MRI may also be needed to to see if there is any ligamental damage besides bone. Remember teams today MRI everything. Harbaugh is so tight lipped about injuries we might not now until he is out of surgery ie Edwards. I'm sure he'll be in all Niner prayers for speedy return to field.
