NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL Network's "Game Day Morning" that LaMichael James won't play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers because of the sprained MCL he suffered Aug. 26 against the San Diego Chargers, according to a source who spoke with the player. James was expected to miss up to three weeks, so his absence from the lineup isn't especially surprising. The 49ers will roll into action with Frank Gore in the starter's seat and Kendall Hunter taking snaps behind him. The injury means Anthony Dixon could see a bump in playing time against Green Bay, but it's Gore the 49ers will lean on, as they typically do. Source: NFL.com
