Crabtree has an ankle injury. He was officially limited in practice on Wednesday because of it.

According to Bill Williamson of ESPN.com, 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Thursday that the ankle problem is unrelated to the Achilles injury that kept Crabtree out of action from May until Week 13.

Almost as soft as Percy!!

What I reported on @nflnetwork TA Pregame: Sources say benching RG3 was a football decision based on poor performance...

Michael Silver ‏@MikeSilver
...Shanahan didn't want to throw RG3 under the bus by stating poor performance as the reason...

.
 
Anyone else just see that headline on NFL network that said something along the lines of " RG3 is telling ppl he's confused as to why he's being shut down" rg3 pls! Just shut up man!

Virgil Green starting with Orange Julius? That's interesting. Thought for certain it would be Tamme. Run game gets a definite boost with Green. Guy is just a punishing blocker.

Same could be said to u Godslay welcome. I probably will not post during the game much. Got to focus.

Thanks bro.

As it turns out, owner Daniel Snyder was actually "receptive" to Shanahan's idea of preserving the franchise quarterback to ensure a full offseason.

The fissure between head coach and owner originated when Snyder surrendered a "king's ransom" for the opportunity to draft Griffin, according to NFL Media columnist Michael Silver. Contrary to previous speculation, it was Snyder -- not Shanahan -- who was the "impetus" behind the blockbuster trade, per Silver.

That dynamic between quarterback and owner has led to a lack of trust between Shanahan and Griffin.

Despite what Shanahan has said publicly, Silver's sources affirm the coach switched quarterbacks for "performance" reasons. He didn't believe he could maintain credibility in the locker room if he continued to start a struggling Griffin.

Sources closes to the Redskins coaching staff tell Rapoport that the coaches believe they will be fired, but there's been no official determination from the organization. At this point, they want to be cut loose so they can be "put out of their misery."

Shanahan will not resign, however. "He's not going to be walking away from the Washington Redskins with anything less than the $7 million he's due next year," Rapoport emphasized.

Although the final three games will amount to an audition for Kirk Cousins, Redskins fans shouldn't expect the backup to draw a first-round draft pick in 2014. Six general managers canvassed by Rapoport agreed that Cousins was more likely to fetch a second-rounder. At least half of those general managers don't believe the team will part with their inexpensive Griffin insurance regardless.

The most likely scenario is that Griffin and Cousins will be back in their customary roles for 2014 under a new coaching staff.
