Newberry: Availability Unknown


Despite coming off of knee surgery, Center Jeremy Newberry is hoping he can return on a limited basis after the 49ers first preseason game, Aug 13th. Newberry is hoping he can play on knee without cartilage. After surgery he gave himself a 50-50 chance of returning. Now he is unsure.
