The injury to wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. appears to be more serious than originally thought.  Ginn sprained his MCL during the Seahawks game on Sunday and is expected to miss the Monday night game and more.  With Ginn not playing that would have given the 49ers only healthy three wide receivers (Michael Crabtree, Josh Morgan, Dominique Ziegler).  The 49ers fifth wide receiver, Kyle Williams is also injured and will not play.

With the injury to Ginn the 49ers made a move.  They signed Jason Hill, a receiver who drafted by the 49ers in 2007 and recently cut by the 49ers.  They also had to cut cornerback Tramaine Brock from the 53-man roster to make room for Hill and they cut linebacker Bruce Davis from the practice squad in hopes of signing Brock to the practice squad.  

With Ginn not able to play Mike Singletary will likely have cornerback Phillip Adams return punts and have wide receiver Josh Morgan return kicks.
