Crabtree returned to practice this week and said that he has lost 15 pounds and is finally feeling 100-percent, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Crabtree missed the majority of the 2013 season with an Achilles injury and was hampered by an undisclosed injury this offseason. He is back on the practice field and claims he is 100-percent and also 15 pounds lighter than he was last season. Crabtree is in a contract year and will be looking to put up big numbers this season. Whether or not the undersized No. 1 receiver will be capable of doing that is still in question, but it appears as though health issues will not get in the way like they did last year.
He has the potential to if he can stay healthy. If you look at his 2012 numbers, granted there was no Bolden at the time, and look at what he did at the end of the season when he came back he's a very productive WR. Crabtree and Kaepernick has always had a better connection than with Smith. You can argue that Kaepernick's preference for Crabtree devalued Davis. You can even go further and say that the reason Smith went to Davis so much was because he didn't look down field enough.
