News: Veteran San Francisco linebacker Jeff Ulbrich won't play again this season because of a concussion. He might be done altogether. The 49ers placed the 32-year-old Ulbrich on injured reserve Monday, ending his season. He sustained a concussion on the opening kickoff against St. Louis on Oct. 4 and was examined by a neurologist last week. Coach Mike Singletary said Monday the team concluded it was in Ulbrich's best interest to go on IR. The 10th-year pro, who is away from the team this week handling personal business, has said he's not ruling out retirement after sustaining more concussions during his career than he can count. He acknowledged he needs to think about his long-term health, future and family. "We really have a conservative approach in everything we do as it pertains to our players," Singletary said. "We want to make sure that even though we come out here and we stress the physicality of what we're trying to do and what we're trying to bring across, at the same time on the other side of that we want to make sure we take care of our players.

Our View: He is taking the roster spot of injured linebacker Jeff Ulbrich. He will provide depth, and not see a great deal of snaps.

Ulbrich placed on IR Dealing with the after effects of a concussion, Jeff Ulbrich has been placed on injured reserve, according to Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

Our View: Ulbrich was a reserve with just one tackle this season. Obviously, had he been anything else, he would have avoided IR, the 49ers just couldn't afford to wait, however.

Ulbrich is expected to be available for the team's next game on October 25 against the Texans.

Our View: Ulbrich hasn't practice all week after suffering the concussion Sunday against the Rams, but a few weeks of rest should allow him to get back out there in a few weeks. The team has a bye week after their game against the Falcons on Sunday, so he should be fine when they return to practice the following week.
