No big-name QB for 49ers

With Shaun Hill dealing with a dislocated finger and Alex Smith struggling with weakness in his forearm, the 49ers will be down to one healthy quarterback Sunday -- starter Trent Dilfer. The 49ers might add a passer to the practice squad but there is no push to bring a bigger-name player onto the active roster. Both Arnaz Battle and Michael Robinson could fill in as an emergency quarterback.

Linebacker Parys Haralson was not fined for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Matt Hasselbeck on Monday. The hit, which occurred on third down, gave the Seahawks a first down and they laater scored on the drive.
