Spikes, Willis clubbing it?

0

The 49ers top two tacklers -- starting inside linebackers Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes -- are wearing club-like casts on their respective right hands, only they won't say precisely why.

Both players got hurt in Sunday's 41-20 win over Seattle, that much we know. Both players played in spite of the pain, that much has been said.

Both are expected to play Thursday at San Diego, according to defensive coordinator Greg Manusky today, but neither players knows how effective they will be playing, in essence, one-handed.

If it's anything like Willis did wearing a club as a rookie, the 49ers will be just fine.

"He seemed to do pretty good with it," Spikes said. "Actually, he did damn good with a cast on his hand. Might break the interception streak, that's one of the things that you worry about. It means I have to practice snagging with one hand, the left hand." Read More 'Spikes, Willis clubbing it?' »
