Johnson sits out again; eyes turn to rookie

Legacy · Sep 26, 2008

Wide receiver Bryant Johnson was held out of practice for a second day in a row Thursday because of a sore hamstring, raising the question of whether rookie Josh Morgan will have to be ready to replace him against New Orleans on Sunday.

"I haven't even thought about it. I'm sure Johnson will be ready to go," 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz said. "I feel good about either one of them."

Morgan, who dazzled in exhibitions, is apparently feeling good again after losing 15 pounds during training camp. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported that Morgan's previously undisclosed "illness" was actually a staph infection. Morgan told the paper that he suffered the infection in his knees and his elbows after getting scuffed up during the exhibition opener against the Raiders on Aug. 8.

"It eats away at your skin. If you don't get it early, it could do a lot of damage to you," Morgan said.
