Any indications he wouldn't play this week? Has he been practicing?

He was listed as Questionable because his wrist was sore. He practiced all week and says he feels fine.

The bottom line is whether he can hold onto the ball or not. He dove to the ground last week because he had a loose grip (due to the injury) and thought he might fumble if he was hit - that drove Shanahan to put him on the bench the rest of the game. I believe he will start and try expecially with the threat of Torain. As long as he doesn't fumble he get quite a few carries (note that they have not said a word on hit grip capability). If he fumbles due to the injury he will be riding the bench except maybe for use in pass protection. Thats my take - do with it what you will.
