Now we have hope again.  Reports from practice today are that Jake Locker has been cleared for contact.  The door is officially open for him to play this week against the 49ers.

I still think they will end up holding him out in this game because that would give him 2 more weeks to heal, but as Kalis said above, Locker has gotten better each day.  If he continues that progress through the weekend he could be under center. *fingers crossed*
