Falcons to get ready for Crabtree
FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons are expecting to see San Francisco's newest wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Sunday.
Crabtree, the 10th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, signed a six-year contract, ending his holdout.
"We don't have any film to go off of, but we are definitely going to account for him," safety Erik Coleman said. "We know he's a good player. He's a first round draft pick, who is extremely athletic."
The 49ers could put in a limited package for Crabtree, who starred at Texas Tech.
"We expect him to be ready, but he missed so much time that you never know," cornerback Chris Houston said. "He's signed and they could get him in there for one or two plays or something."
