n      On the injury front, Tye Hill and Steven Jackson did not practice as expected.  Both players have been ruled out for Sunday.  Richie Incognito was limited in practice, participated in individual drills, and will be questionable for Sunday.  Linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa participated in all activities and should be active for Sunday’s contest against Dallas.

n      Quarterback Marc Bulger has two broken ribs, numbers 9 and 10, as expected is sore, and will receive cortisone a shot on game day.  Speaking after practice, Bulger commented that it not only was sore while participating in football activities, but that he noticed it walking and doing everyday activities.  He went on to say even with the injury, it was not affecting his performance.

n      Steven Jackson, who will miss at least one week with a slight groin tear, said that he was limited to pool work and rest for the week and was looking forward to being cleared by the medical staff.  He said that he will support rookie Brian Leonard, who will be making his first NFL start, as much as he can in a way of advice and counsel from the sidelines.

n      Leonard Little wouldn’t go as far as predicting a win, like wideout Isaac Bruce did on Tuesday, but he did say that there was an attitude change and that the fans would see a changed team on Sunday.  When asked what the biggest change was, he sited the demeanor and tempo at practice and among the players.
