The Facts:
Manningham’s first year with the Niners ended in December when he tore his ACL and PCL, an injury that HC Jim Harbaugh expects to keep Manningham from starting training camp on the field with the rest of his teammates. Manningham is making progress, though, and has started ramping up his physical activity during rehab. “I have started running and cutting and doing little things,” Manningham said on Sirius XM NFL Radio, via the 49ers’ website. “When you have knee injuries, you can’t really take any time off. Every time I think about it, I’m trying to do something with my knee. I’m not rushing it but I am going hard on my knee.”

With wide receiver Michael Crabtree
out for at least the next six months after tearing his Achilles, the 49ers are going to need the rest of their receiving corps to step up to cover for his absence. One of the guys they’ll be looking to is Manningham. But he's one of several 49ers receivers whose question marks loom all the larger thanks to Crabtree’s injury. Kyle Williams is also recovering from a serious knee injury and A.J. Jenkins has to show he’s capable of producing in an NFL offense after spending almost all of his rookie season on the inactive list.
