After week two’s devastating loss to the Cowboys at home no one knew how the 49ers would react but few would have predicted a four-game winning streak and a 5-1 record at the bye week.  The 49ers not only lost the game to the Cowboys but they also lost newly signed wide receiver Braylon Edwards to a knee injury who was supposed to be the deep threat receiver for the 49ers this season.  Edwards is still expected to the deep threat for the 49ers but how effective he will be the next few games is unknown because of his injury.  Edwards had knee surgery on September 18 and is expected to return to practice on Tuesday when the 49ers resume their workouts after taking off for the bye week.  If Edwards is able to practice each day this week expect him to be in the starting line up on Sunday against the Browns.

 “I watched him (Edwards) run and run routes. Like I said, hopeful that he’ll come back tomorrow and good things will happen. Our wounds have almost healed and we’ll know better on Tuesday when we get out there on the field and practice,” Jim Harbaugh said on Monday.
