As the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints prepare for their matchup this Saturday at Candlestick Park, both were without a key offensive player as Niners tight end Delanie Walker sat out of practice Wednesday, as did Saints receiver Lance Moore.
Walker has a broken jaw, but was not counted out this week by Coach Harbaugh in his Monday press conference. He's an important facet to a lot of their offensive schemes, but if he can't suit up will be replaced by veteran Justin Peele and possibly Nate Byham as well. Receivers Ted Ginn and Kyle Williams were limited in practice Wednesday, as did cornerback Chris Culliver and defensive tackle Ray McDonald.
As for the Saints, wide receiver Lance Moore, safety Roman Harper, and tight end John Gilmore sate out on Wednesday.
