Morgan Officially placed on IR according to 49ers.com

The thing with Morgan is that he's our best slant route runner, and seems to have his timing with Alex down the best. I think he's also got the best hands too. It's a big loss for us.

I wouldn't go by what Harbaugh or anyone says until they do the MRI.

Really sad to see Morgan get hurt.

I was really liking what I saw from him in this game. He looked smooth on routes, made some nice runs after the catch, and blocked well. Plus, another little thing: every time there was an altercation with offensive players he was right in there backing up his teammates, but not escalating the situation with more shoving. It's a little thing, but it shows leadership to me.

I hope he isn't out long. I was really looking forward to seeing Crabtree, Edwards and Morgan together.

He has been our most complete and consistent receiver.

Man i love our coach!!

Woo Hoo

Sounds like a sprain

Good to hear. Hopefully he can be back after the bye.

Yep. Harbaugh's not a doctor. Sando's not a doctor. Morgan's not a doctor. You're not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. Too early to know. He might practice on Wednesday, he might practice next training camp. Let's just wait and see and hope for the best.

Harbaugh running up the score= bad karma

Who else was Harbaugh supposed to put in there? I expect my team to be competitive until the very last second and I'm glad Harbaugh thinks the same. Zoners are never going to be happy no matter what they decide to do.

Not sure if he was trying to run up the score so much as getting reps for Kap with the first team receiver's etc.

Yeah he wanted to get his back up QB some reps.

if it was broke would wouldnt carry his ass off like that haha

Paul Pierce was carried out by his teammates and he came back 20 minutes later...

If they had to do it again I think they would.and I like that...they dont give up or down on the board. We have one more week then a bye so it helps. Plus Edwards should be back after the bye week.

I'm a doctor, on the Internet, and he will be out until after the bye week with a mild sprain.

well.... looking at the play where Morgan got hurt, i was really sad as he was our best complete receiver interms of running routes, 3rd down catches, and esp run blocking on sweeps. Looking at the injury as a physician, it could be one of few things

1. the way his leg got caught, worse case scenario he has a broken fibula with ligamentous injury. same thing Aldon smith had in college and Norris had few weeks prior. max healing time 3-5 weeks. this is worst case scenario as a WR needs to make sharp cuts and this could be painful
2. high ankle sprain > 2-4 week recovery but lingers for whole year
3. microtear with inflammation and swelling > 1-2 weeks

hopefully with bye week coming, this allows young guys to get chance to showcase talents and Morgan can come in and do what he does after bye without missing a beat!
he will have 3 weeks to recoup before game against cleveland. Good thing is next game against Lions who we will be playing on short rest after monday night game against tought D in bears (bucs were slow today after their exhausiting monday night game), and at home against cleveland where I dont think we need him much. But we def need him for game against redskins on Nov 6!

I love Morgan's ability. A lot of you were s**tting on him. Don't make me use the search function. If he ain't s**t then no one should be concerned.

Bantha Poodoo. Look those kind of rollups happen every play to the O line in a run or Pass and worse things LOTS worse when you just cram your running back up the middle as it just puts extra shots on the RB. Pass plays especially when the other team is just GIVING it to you has less chances of an O lineman ending up on the ground in a pile having the same thing - it was just a freak play - probably just a bad sprain we will be okay.

Points all the time everytime - take what the game gives us and the Little Pirates were giving us the points - Killer instinct POUND teams - I want every team thinking - KNOWING that when this team gets on a roll they are going to crush you - puts pressure on them to try and push the ball into bad spots giving our D a chance to make some serious play.
