Michael Crabtree (PUP, Achilles') hasn't practiced this week, but the 49ers insist he hasn't suffered a setback. "None that I know of," OC Greg Roman said when asked Thursday if his No. 1 receiver had hit a snag in his rehab. "He's progressing nicely." It's bizarre that Crabtree hasn't practiced this week after getting in some reps in Week 10, but this is an instance where we have no choice but to take the coaching staff at face value. Either way, it's pretty clear Crabtree won't be returning against the Saints.
