San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Michael Crabtree will make his debut in his home state of Texas, and The Santa Rosa (Calif.) Press Democrat reported there's a good chance he will start.

Online Sportsbook Football Predictions is providing information on Michael Crabtree.

Singletary has long given Crabtree the benefit of the doubt, believing the former Texas Tech star will shine at this level. Even if that meant playing catch-up in the past two weeks after missing so much time with a contract holdout.

"There are some things that you can prepare him for, but there are other things that he just has to go through and I think that this is one of them," Singletary said of Crabtree's first game.

"You have to let those guys line up against him and put their hands on you and see some of the complexities of the defense and how they are setting you up. You come to the sideline with your head on a swivel a little bit, but I don't think that it's going to be too big for him. To me, even though he's come in late, he looks like he's ready."

Crabtree's teammates seem to have moved past his prolonged contract impasse, and are more focused now on what he can do to help the team. San Francisco (3-2) leads the NFC West, with wins already over the reigning NFC champion Arizona Cardinals and Seattle.

According to Niners wide receiver Josh Morgan, Crabtree will start the game opposite Isaac Bruce, The Press Democrat reported.
