Crabtree seeing some preseason action for 1st time
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) This summer has been unlike any other during Michael Crabtree's four years with the San Francisco 49ers.
He's actually played in a preseason game.
Crabtree was in the starting lineup for San Francisco's exhibition opener last week against Minnesota, a sign he's farther along this year than at this point during any of his first three seasons. The wide receiver missed most of training camp and did not play in the preseason the past two years because of injuries, and he didn't join the 49ers until October of his rookie season of 2009 after a long contract impasse.
After leading the 49ers (No. 4 in the AP Pro32) with 72 receptions for 874 yards last season, Crabtree is getting ahead of the game this time around as a key figure in a passing offense that has added several talented targets around him.
