The Facts:
Miller is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs with a left shoulder blade injury sustained during Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. "It doesn't look good. It looks like he has an injury to his scapula," HC Jim Harbaugh said Monday. "He does so many things in the protection, in the run game, receiving out of the back field. He is a multitalented, multi-use player. Special teams contributor on two, three phases. It's a loss."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While the 49ers have "a pretty good idea" how long Miller will need to recover, Harbaugh declined to say except for "it's something he'll heal from." Former Stanford fullback Owen Marecic was expected at team headquarters to undergo a physical and conditioning test with the intent of re-signing him to help fill the void if all goes well during the visit. Marecic spent a stint with the team from Sept. 17 to Oct. 2. Anthony Dixon is an option already on the roster who is capable of playing fullback.
