Linebacker Takeo Spikes is listed as day-to-day with a strained hamstring incurred in the Chicago game, coach Mike Singletary said Tuesday.
"If Takeo can't go, Matt Wilhelm will start," he said.
Wilhelm, a seven-year veteran, was signed as a free agent ...
As Bruce himself said of the man who will now be starting in his place, "He's an ascending player."
After 221 games and 1,023 receptions as a wide receiver over 16 NFL seasons, Bruce no longer is a front-line player. He has not started the last three ...
Several weeks later, the only thing that has changed is Smith's grammar.
"Tape doesn't lie," he said in the aftermath of the 49ers' defense-dominated 10-6 victory over the Chicago Bears. "It's what he's been doing all year. When you watch game tape, he' ...
The 49ers did not send out an NFL-worthy offense on Thursday night. Any offense that gets five turnovers from its defense and scores only 10 points should be ashamed of itself. On the (very minimal) plus side, the 49ers had the ball for 31:33, ...

The 49ers were at the Chicago 46-yard line, facing ...
"In every defensive game plan the thing you want to do is take away what they do best," coach Mike Singletary said. "It's trying to take away what they do very well and make them beat you left-handed."
Fittingly, the game ended on an interception with ...
"I think we can destroy them," the 49ers tight end said Tuesday of the Bears defense. "I think we can destroy their front. I don't see anything spectacular about their front line."
Davis, so often a flash point on this team, did not back down from what ...
(11-10) 22:44 PST --

The trade deadline came and went ...
