Refuting a rumor that Jeremy Newberry would miss the season because of his knee injury, coach Mike Nolan said nothing has changed in his center's status. "The situation is the same as it's been since training camp started," Nolan told the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday. "It's still a matter of how much pain he can endure, because it's bone on bone. A lot depends on if there's swelling. If there isn't, he can play." Newberry has yet to practice, but Nolan said he planned to have him on the field some time next week. "It might be Monday, or it might be later in the week, depending on how he feels," Nolan told the paper. "He's sore now, but it's not from football, it's from the rehabbing he's doing."
