Sports Night: Help in offing for 49ers’ air attack
49ers: Simpson could rejoin team soon
A 49ers offense that found its downfield passing game for the first time this season Sunday now is eligible to add another weapon, wide receiver Jerome Simpson, who was serving a six-game suspension. The 49ers likely won’t add him in time for Thursday’s game against Seattle, though the NFL granted them a one-week roster exemption because of their short turnaround this week.
