Lewis wants to play in Indy

Thrice-concussed safety Michael Lewis says he will have more neurological tests this week but that so far those tests have been good and that he plans to join his teammates in practice this week. Lewis said he also didn't plan on wearing the black practice jersey worn by players who are coming back from injuries. He was a limited practice participant this past week.

Still, he said that teammate Jeff Ulbrich's ordeal with a concussion - Ulbrich was placed on injured reserve last week - have given him pause.

"Jeff's one of my closest friends on the team," Lewis said. "Just talking to him and hearing some of the things he had to say about it, it kind of concerned me. But at the same time, I feel that everyone has to know that there are different severities of concussions. What Jeff experienced is totally different from what I've experienced."

******************
Linebacker Takeo Spikes' MRI earlier today revealed a shoulder strain. His status for Sunday is up in the air. No word yet on Tony Pashos' shoulder injury.

******************

What's Crabtree like? What's the plan for Brandon Jones? What's kind of car does Maiocco drive? These secrets -- and much, much more -- can be revealed if you tune in to tomorrow's 49ers chat. The 49ers portion starts at 11 a.m. at sacbee.com/live. If you want to screw with the Raiders fans, you can hang on 'til noon.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
