Newberry Back in the Mix
On Monday, for the first time since last September, Jeremy Newberry crashed into 300-pound defensive linemen. The 49ers center jogged to the huddle between plays and showed no signs of favoring a knee worthy of an ``E.R.'' plot line.Newberry's performance review was incomplete: Coach Mike Nolan wanted to watch the videotape of practice, and Newberry wanted to wait to see how he felt this morning.
But Newberry was still upright at the end of a two-hour practice, and that alone represented a major accomplishment for a player coming off arthroscopic surgery in June.
