PLAYER NOTES


--LT Orlando Pace remains on the roster after the team considered placing him on injured reserve. Pace is out two to four weeks with a knee injury, and for now is still on the roster. Pace was injured in the first quarter of the game against the 49ers.

--OT Anthony Davis, a five-year veteran who was waived by the Buccaneers on Oct. 24, was signed Tuesday.

--RB Samkon Gado, who played two games for the Rams, was waived Tuesday to make room for OT Anthony Davis on the roster.

--QB Marc Bulger will start against Chicago Sunday despite being involved in three turnovers against the 49ers.

--RB Steve Jackson has been declared out of Sunday's game against the Bears and will rest his injured quad for another week. Jackson saw a specialist for a second opinion, who said there was nothing different from what the team was saying about the injury.

--CB Ron Bartell, who injured his knee Sunday, had only soft tissue affected and will be day to day this week for practice and Sunday's game against the Bears.

--LB Chris Draft will miss another two or three games because of a broken bone in his right foot that has forced him to miss the last two games.

--DT La'Roi Glover continues to play with a torn meniscus in his knee. Glover had the knee drained Monday.

--OG John Greco is expected to return to practice this week after suffering a minor knee injury in practice last Thursday (Nov. 13). Greco could start at right guard this week if Richie Incognito is unable to play because of a shoulder injury.

REPORT CARD VS. 49ERS

PASSING OFFENSE: D -- QB Marc Bulger passed 53 times, completing 34 for 295 yards, but a fumbled center exchange and two second-quarter interceptions led to 21 points and turned a 14-3 deficit into a 35-3 halftime score. WR Donnie Avery had nine receptions for 93 yards, while RB Kenneth Darby added 83 yards on six receptions. WR Torry Holt had five receptions for 60 yards.

RUSHING OFFENSE: B -- Not that it mattered much, but RB Antonio Pittman had a solid afternoon, gaining 95 yards on 14 attempts. But most of it came in the first half (10-for-69).

PASS DEFENSE: D -- 49ers QB Shaun Hill completed 75 percent of his passes for 213 yards and a passer rating of 142.3. In the first half, when the game was decided, Hill completed 12 of 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Five of the completions totaled 151 yards.

RUSH DEFENSE: D -- It wasn't horrible, but big plays once again were the story. RB Frank Gore had four runs of 10 yards or more, while Michael Robinson and DeShaun Foster each had one. Gore totaled 106 yards on 18 attempts.

SPECIAL TEAMS: C -- PK Josh Brown missed a 48-yard field goal that would have provided the team an early lead, and P Donnie Jones had one of his worst days of the season. A 41-yard punt by Jones in the first quarter was returned 29 yards to the Rams' 34-yard line and set up San Francisco's first touchdown. The return game was typically unimpressive.

COACHING: C -- There's not much to say, considering another first-half meltdown. Coach Jim Haslett is realizing what a daunting task he inherited.
