Anquan Boldin played 2 weeks after breaking his jaw, its all or nothing for us now,if healthy we cant be saving players for the super bowl cuz if we dont win this week there wont be any super bowl

i think he displaced his jaw and had facial fractures, different injury

We don't know that Delanie Walker with a fractured jaw in two places (and likely a few pounds lighter) is measurably better than other options. I mean that honestly, we just don't know.

There is a time to be brave and a time to be smart. If he takes another hit like he did a couple weeks ago, but with a broken jaw, his career could be over. I trust the doctors to make the right call. But if I had to choose between having Delanie for 5 more years or just for Saturday...I choose 5 more years every time.

doubt he plays this week. this is a mind-game from Harbaugh, I bet.

Peelle is good as a blocker, which has been Delanie's role lately anyway. And Delanie's active spot can be taken by an extra DB like Spencer.

Delanie is a FA this year, no telling if he comes back, use him

rotoworld says hes under contract for next year at just over a million

Harbaugh said he wouldn't rule him out .. does that mean for the playoffs or for this game? Would be awesome if he could play.

I thought he said he wouldn't rule him out for Saturday. If he comes back and plays this week that says a lot about him and the whole team concept that Harbaugh has developed.

It would be boss if he did.

Man, I think Delanie is gonna play this Saturday (and this isn't some ruse).

Count-less players throughout NFL history have been known to make these sort of sacrifices (modern-and-old era), to avoid kicking themselves for the rest of their lives, to avoid agonizing on the sidelines in street clothes, torturing yourself with the possibilities of what could have been when all is gone.

ah

I don't think Delanie will play on Saturday. Even if he's able to be on the field, it makes me wonder how effective he can be with a jaw injury. Possibly Harbaugh trying to get the Saints to burn game plan time for our offense with Delanie for nothing. Since Delanie is usually in a lot of running plays with also releasing out for passes.
