Snyder to start at right tackle

Tidbits from Mike Singletary's afternoon presser:

He said that Adam Snyder would continue to start at right tackle but that Barry Sims would play some Sunday against the Jets. Sims injured his foot Oct. 26 and Snyder has started at right tackle - to mixed reviews - ever since.

Asked about receivers Josh Morgan and Arnaz Battle, who were both active in practice today, Singletary said, "so far so good." Asked whether Battle would resume playing the slot receiver position (admirably handled by Jason Hill in recent weeks) Singletary said it will depend on Battle's health on Sunday.

Nate Clements missed his second straight practice with a slight fracture in his left thum. It was only the second practice he has missed since joining the 49ers. He is questionable for Sunday's game

Singletary was surprised to hear that Mark Roman is approaching the two-year anniversary of his last interception. He said he'd use that as fuel for motivating Roman this week. "Hopefully, he's due," Singletary said.

Clements and Allen Rossum were the only two players who missed practice. Morgan and Dashon Goldson were limited.

Singletary said that it doesn't look as if Ahmad Brooks will be active this week. But he said the linebacker would see some action before the close of the season.

And finally, good news about season tickets. While the economy heading downhill, ticket prices are staying put. In a letter signed by Jed York and sent out to all season-ticket holders, the 49ers announced a price freeze for 2009. "We know what our fans want, and more importantly what they deserve," York writes. "I want and expect the same thing. I am committed to making the 49ers a Super Bowl champion again."
