as for the niners, they have to wait until sunday to hit the field again. we already know a couple players will have to wait even longer. tomorrow mike singletary ruled vernon davis and michael crabtree out for the game. both very limited in practice all week. now, that's good for precautionary purposes. but it's bad for getting into an offensive flow. and training camp reps, well, they're exactly what alex smith and his targets need right now. >> we've got to get the work in. we think we just have these names and we're going to show up on game day and get it done is totally crazy. we've got to get out here and get the work in and continue to take strides and get better. >> not only is the circus about to come to town this sunday, the circus is actually going to play. yes, brett favre will be under center for the vikings as they face the niners. with the on again, off again qb accepting to play the first one or two series of the exhibition matchup. get ready. it's going to be crazy. but he'll not be hooking up with one of his favorite receivers from last se
