The Browns have various injuries but their key players should all be active this Sunday.
Although the injury reports list both teams as relatively healthy, San Francisco will be without a big part of their running game, and a player who wore a few hats. St. Louis is also a little banged up, and could be without their top receiver for the season series finale.
The California Highway Patrol said it arrested San Francisco 49ers defensive end Demarcus Dobbs early Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana.
The 49ers are in St. Louis to play the Rams, one of the few teams that have played against this week's starting San Francisco quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. "You know how people always say that they don't have enough film on Kaepernick, that as they know what he does they're going to know him better? Well this is one of the teams that is going to know him better," John Madden told the KCBS morning crew.
The Oakland Raiders take on the 3-8 Cleveland Browns this Sunday. While it is a home game at the Coliseum, the contest is not sold out so the lack of a crowd favors Cleveland. Rainy weather is also expected and that also favors the Browns.

For the third week in a row, Colin Kaepernick will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, and although head coach JimHarbaugh has made no final decision on whether Kaepernick's status as a starter is permanent, Alex Smith should be very worried.
