It appears possible the 49ers will visit and the Broncos on Sunday night with a linebacker corps comprised of , Borland, and . Skuta and Wilhoite are assuming the spots of (suspended) and NaVorro Bowman (knee).

Staley鈥檚 close call: Left tackle was happy to see wide receiver catch an 11-yard, go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter, but he would have been even happier if he was celebrating in the end zone.
Staley, a tight end at Rockford (Mich.) High, reported as an eligible receiver on the 3rd-and-1 play, which was designed to be a pass to him. However, defensive end tackled Staley, drawing a holding penalty, and Colin Kaepernick found Boldin in the back of the end zone.
鈥淩obert messed that up for me,鈥?Staley said. 鈥淚t was wide open. It would have been a Monday night celebration. I had a great dance and everything 鈥?It was going to be a touchdown and I was going to have a hell of a celebration.鈥? What was the dance: 鈥淲ait for it,鈥?Staley said.
