    The X-ray machine told Joe Staley his left leg was fine, so he did what any self-respecting NFL left tackle would do. Not knowing he had a broken left fibula, Staley went back onto the football field until he could stand no more, and then he stayed a little longer before taking off the end of Sunday's 23-20 overtime victory against the Rams at Candlestick Park. "The X-rays were negative, so I went back out there," Staley said as he held onto crutches in the locker room. "Then I got kicked again, and I knew it was broken, but I stayed in for a couple plays." There's no timetable for Staley's return, but it will be at least four weeks.

    Time for a new X-Ray machine or X-Ray tech. This dude is definitely a player, though.
