Share

SANTA CLARA -- Receiver Ted Ginn had a noticeable limp Monday morning as he arrived at the 49ers' practice facility for treatment on his injured right knee.Ginn's status for the 49ers' NFC Championship Game on Sunday against the New York Giants remains uncertain after he left Saturday's game twice with the injury.When the 49ers' medical staff assisted Ginn off the field in the third quarter, they examined his right kneecap. He did not return to action in the 49ers' 36-32 victory over the New Orleans Saints.Coach Jim Harbaugh did not reveal any specifics about 49ers injuries during his Monday press conference. When asked if Ginn sustained an injury that would rule him out for Sunday's game, Harbaugh answered, "Not that I'm aware of."Tight end Delanie Walker was scheduled to be re-examined on Monday after sustaining a fractured jaw on Christmas Eve. He remains optimistic that he would be cleared to practice this week.On Sunday, Walker wrote on Twitter: "Just got a lil workout in I'm so ready to pad up on Sunday.""We'll see," Harbaugh said. "It's all in the doctor's hands. I have not gotten confirmation one way or the other."The 49ers' first practice for the week is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
Defensive lineman Ray McDonald, who played 44 snaps in Saturday's game with a right hamstring strain, said he made it out of the game in good shape. And center Jonathan Goodwin sat out a series with an apparent left calf strain."It's all right," Goodwin said. "When you're in the NFC Championship Game week, it doesn't hurt. . . . I'll put it you this way, 'Probably no way I miss this.'"
