The 49ers are hoping to build on Alex\u2019s Smith phenomenal
\nperformance against Chicago<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. <\/span>Look for him to play a lot and for the Niners<\/span> to go all out. <\/p>\n

Aaron Brooks will be coach<\/span> Art
\nShell\u2019s starting quarterback Sunday against the San Francisco<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\n49ers, and he has the go-ahead to play the entire first half. That means he\u2019ll
\nget the chance he\u2019s been looking for to establish a little rhythm before
\nheading for the sideline. In the Raiders\u2019 first two exhibition games, Brooks
\nplayed eight series \u2014 four in each game \u2014 and was in for one touchdown. At the
\ntime he left, the Raiders were tied 7-7 in a game they eventually won 16-10 and
\nled 3-0 in a game they eventually won 16-13. During that time, the first-team
\noffense under Brooks never got untracked, accounting for just four first downs.
\nThere were five three-and-out series. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Brooks was 2-for-9 passing for 28 yards and was sacked
\nthree times for 21 yards in losses. The running game with Brooks under center
\nwasn\u2019t much better with 16 carries for 56 yards, meaning in roughly a half a
\ngame the offense produced just 63 yards of total offense. Shell said WR<\/span> Jerry Porter has been cleared to make his 2006 debut.<\/p>\n

Even though many of their injured starters have trickled
\nin during the past few days, the Seattle Seahawks won\u2019t be anywhere near full
\nstrength when they travel to Indianapolis<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\ntoday. Defensive linemen Grant Wistrom<\/span> and Rocky
\nBernard, who made their training camp debuts this week, are expected to stay at
\nEastern<\/st1:PlaceName> Washington<\/st1:PlaceName>
\nUniversity<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> to continue
\nrehabilitating from offseason surgeries. Middle linebacker Lofa<\/span>
\nTatupu<\/span> could make the trip, but coach Mike Holmgren<\/span> said it was \u201cunlikely\u201d he would play because he\u2019s
\nnursing a minor groin strain. Center Robbie Tobeck<\/span>
\nwon\u2019t play following surgery to remove bone chips from his left elbow. Also
\nmissing will be wide receiver Darrell Jackson (knee) and defensive tackle Marcus
\nTubbs (Achilles), who are expected to practice for the first time next week.
\nEven some of the starters who do participate in Sunday\u2019s game against the Colts
\nwill be limited in their playing time. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck probably won\u2019t
\nplay much more than a quarter, and running back Shaun Alexander is also
\nexpected to make little more than a cameo appearance. Holmgren<\/span>
\nsaid that third-string quarterback Gibran<\/span> Hamdan<\/span>, who did not play in the preseason opener, would see
\ntime against Indianapolis<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> on Sunday.
\nThe bulk of the work will go to Seneca Wallace, but David Greene might also see
\nsome time.<\/p>\n

Tribune Star<\/p>\n

Middle linebacker Rob Morris (shoulder) and defensive
\ntackle Raheem<\/span> Brock (knee) missed Friday\u2019s morning
\nworkout, but both should be available for the Seattle<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\ngame. Defensive tackle Corey Simon (knee), wide receiver Brandon Stokley<\/span> (ankle), placekicker<\/span> Adam
\nVinatieri<\/span> (ankle), punter Hunters Smith (groin),
\ndefensive tackle Montae<\/span> Reagor<\/span>
\n(knee), safety Dexter Reid (shoulder), cornerback Tim Jennings (ankle) and
\nsafety Mike Doss (calf) are not expected to play.<\/o:p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
