Quote from Harbaugh: On what Injured Reserve players like LB Chris Gocong and WR Jeremy Bloom can do during the season: "Yeah, those guys are still full-time employees. They're still getting paid and they're still working really hard at it. I know Jeremy Bloom, part of his rehab with [head athletic trainer] Rick Burkholder is he catches punts with [assistant equipment manager] Greg Delimitros. Every single day he catches over 100 punts. And he does a lot of the wide receiver route running stuff. And I know Chris Gocong is doing the same thing at his position. Plus, they are in meetings, where they can be, where they are allowed to be. They are studying football, they are studying tape. They are great kids. They take it seriously. They want to get back sooner than anybody. They'll be in minicamp ready to go."

Gocong and Bloom are on the IR strictly to do what they are doing, which is taking a year to learn how to play in the nfl. They could both be playing right now. The shell game they play with players and injuries is funny.

They can't practice with the rest of the team, though, right?

I know there are some rules there.

[Feva]

That's how I understand it.

They can't practice with the team and go to meetings where they're gameplanning or preparing for a certain team, but they can work on their own with trainers and staff and participate in their positional meetings.

[Magical_Retard]

so they are getting paid to practice?

[TexasEagle]

It reads like they're getting paid to lift weights and run around in shorts. Must be nice.

I didn't see it posted anywhere and you guys probably already know but Stallworth, Westbrook and Lito practiced today.  Dawkins as well in a limited role which they said was just "precautionary".

[Geowhizzer]

I heard that Dawkins was salivating about getting a hold of Favre on Monday night.

Then again, that could still be from the knock on the head...

I wasn't aware that Lito practiced today.  I doubt he'll play this week but it's good to hear he's back out there.

Well, JJ was quoted as saying that if Lito practiced Saturday (today), he would expect Lito to play... I'm sure it's still to be decided but we'll see.

[Sgt PSN]

The original reports said he'd be out 4-6 weeks.  If he returns on Monday, that would only be 3 (math skillz).  I think I'd actually prefer to see him sit one more week and get some extra practic/rehab time on it and hopefully be completely healthy for Dallas. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Good news. If he's ready to go they need him out there now. Especially since Hood won't likely play.

Driver and Jennings are legit. If Wynn or Hanson or Fox see time against those guys it could be bad.
