Countdown to Opening Day: 49ers @ Packers: 0 days!!!! It's Game Day!!!! | Page 6

Two injuries that already may impact game:

"...they suffered what could be a significant loss in the preseason opener as linebacker Desmond Bishop had to be helped off the field following a knee injury Thursday night in San Diego. Bishop had a player land on his extended leg with full force."

"Davon House, a potential starter at cornerback, suffered a shoulder injury playing on special teams in the second half."

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that free agent Cedric Benson is currently in Green Bay and expected to sign with the Packers.

It's a shrewd move by a shrewd organization. Benson isn't going to average more than four yards a pop on his 29-year-old legs, but he can still move the chains, get what's blocked, and stay healthy. He's a durable, workmanlike player at this stage of his career, which is really all the Packers need in an offense that creates running lanes with a lethal passing attack. James Starks has struggled mightily in camp and the preseason opener, and Alex Green is coming off an ACL tear. Benson isn't more than a mid-range RB3 and lacks passing-game ability, but he's now the fantasy back to own in Green Bay. Just expect little to no upside.

Hmm .. their running game still does not scare me against the niners but they could throw it 70 times.
