Pickett to Start Sunday
Cody Pickett is likely to be the 49ers' fourth starting quarterback in five games when San Francisco hosts the New York Giants on Sunday.
Coach Mike Nolan believes Alex Smith and Ken Dorsey won't be ready to return from injuries in time to prepare for the game, leaving Pickett - a fourth-stringer just two weeks ago - as the 49ers' only option.
Smith missed San Francisco's 15-10 victory over Tampa Bay with strained knee ligaments, and Dorsey sprained his left ankle in the fourth quarter. Tim Rattay, the 49ers' starter in the season's first four games, was traded to the Buccaneers two weeks ago.
