Zeigler

It’s Zeigler’s first known workout since he was among the 49ers’ final cuts in September. A former undrafted free agent, he tallied nine catches for 98 yards in 11 games last season before tearing his ACL. He’d likely be limited to special teams duty in Seattle.

Zeigler has exhibited sure hands and is one of the Niners’ top route runners. A former undrafted free agent from Baylor, Zeigler is pushing Jason Hill hard in the slot with Brandon Jones out well into the season and Michael Crabtree holding out. It looks like Zeigler will cost Arnaz Battle a roster spot.

The Niners will try to get all of the above on their practice squad, but doing so with Boone and Sheets will be difficult. Both have NFL caliber talent and weren’t overwhelmed in the preseason. With Pascoe and J.J. Finley both gone, San Francisco is carrying just two tight ends.

He was emerging as a good bet to make the roster when Brandon Jones went down and the Michael Crabtree situation didn’t develop. But then Arnaz Battle turned it on and Jason Hill ended up sticking in the slot. With seven wideouts on the 49ers’ active roster, Zeigler needs multiple injuries to get activated.

Zeigler produced in the preseason and has some slot receiver potential in Mike Martz’s offense. Clayton is essentially the team’s fourth tailback now.

Zeigler was productive in the preseason, but it wasn’t enough to move him past Jason Hill. Grant could draw interest because he’ll cover kicks.

Zeigler, an undrafted rookie, made some noise in the preseason before joining the team’s practice squad. He’ll provide depth at the slot receiver position with Arnaz Battle out Sunday.

Zeigler, a slot/flanker type with some return value, has the best shot here to make the 2010 roster, with Boone a close second. Boone is limited to only right tackle, however, and versatility is essential for reserve linemen.

Zeigler, a returner/slot receiver, was essentially pushed out the door when Ted Ginn came aboard.

The Niners are concerned that Zeigler suffered severe ligament damage in Monday night’s game. The special teamer and No. 4 receiver could be done for the year.
