49ers team awards: And the winners are ...

The 49ers doled out their team awards today. The most important award, The Len Eshmont, was a bit of a surprise. It went to Isaac Bruce, a player who spent the first 14 years of his career on the 49ers' arch rival. Mike Singletary said that the players resepcted Bruce's professionalism. And indeed, he's been the most consistent performer on offense all season. "He's that message in the flesh," Singletary said. "If you could have that in the locker room, it's a heck of a lot better than a billboard."

Other team awards:

Bill Walsh Award, given to the team MVP: Defensive lineman Justin Smith

Bobb McKittrick Award, given to the offensive lineman who best exemplifies the former offensive line coach: Eric Heitmann

Matt Hazeltine Award, given to the most courageous and inspirational player: Linebacker Takeo Spikes

The Thomas Herrion Award, given to the rookie or first-year player who best exemplifies the spirit of herrion, who died shortly after a preseason game in 2005: Receiver Dominique Zeigler.

******************
Frank Gore will not practice today and, once again, he is iffy for Sunday's game in St. Louis. "It just depends," Singletary said of Gore's availibility. I would say that right now, yes, hopefully he has a chance to play."

Walt Harris (rest), Michael Lewis (abdomen), Adam Snyder (ankle) and Joe Staley (ankle) did not practice. Of those, Snyder is the most serious. Allen Rossum (ankle) will fully participate in practice.
