    Michael Crabtree will return to the gym this week, so says a Tweet the 49ers receiver sent out Sunday, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports.

    Crabtree wrote, "Start back working out 2moro.. I'm ready.."

    Of course, Crabtree's workout routine won't include him squatting 450 pounds or running gassers until he pukes. He'll be eased back into the weight room, probably starting off on a stationary bike or an elliptical machine to maintain his conditioning, that would fit the time line for recovering from an Achilles' heel tear. Crabtree had surgery to repair the tear on May 22, this week is about six weeks from that procedure.

    Barrows spoke to several orthopedic surgeons about Achilles' tears, and every one of them said that six months is the absolute earliest Crabtree can expect to be back on the field, the 49ers, of course, have declined to discuss Crabtree's surgery and recovery, saying only that they expect him back this season.

    It's just becoming ridiculous, the lengths this freaking guy will go to just to get out of offseason/TC/preseason work. What a diva, we should cut him now before it's too late.
