The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Crabtree missed Thursday’s practice and it looks like he will miss several more before he’s well enough to return to the field. HC Jim Harbaugh didn’t share what forced Crabtree out of practice, saying only that he is “working through something,” and that he could miss a week or two of training camp while healing up.
Diehards Line:
Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports Harbaugh did say that the injury Crabtree is working through wasn’t to his foot or Achilles. As PFT's Josh Alper reminded readers, Crabtree tore his Achilles before last season and missed 11 games before returning for the end of the regular season and the playoffs. He also dealt with foot injuries before his rookie season and a couple of years into his professional career. ... We'll be looking for more on this one, but there's plenty of time for Crabtree, who has looked good up to this point in training camp, to get back to work. Stay tuned.
