HC Jim Harbaugh said Sunday that "it's possible" Crabtree could return to practice this week. However, Crabtree is still unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers and his status for the regular-season opener Sept. 11 also is unknown. ... Crabtree's foot issues date back to his senior season at Texas Tech. That injury was discovered during the scouting combine in February 2009. Crabtree had surgery the following month during which a screw was inserted into the foot. It's not known whether the recent surgery also included the insertion of a screw. ... For what it's worth, Barrows notes that Crabtree has been an active participant in teem meetings and in classroom work for the receivers, and he attends practices after his work with trainers is complete. Said Harbaugh: "He's been outstanding with his participation in the meetings. His understanding and knowledge of what we're trying to do is very good."
