He broke his leg in the 49ers game. It looks like the Saints will be starting their 4th string RT this week, William Robinson, who they signed just 7 days ago. However, he spent last year on their practice squad. They play Atlanta.
Larry Holder: Bryce Harris on IR, TE Michael Higgins signed to active roster. Vitt said Harris had a broken bone in his leg.

These are only some of the highlights
Dominant Pass Rusher
Often overshadowed by the Smiths (Justin and Aldon), defensive end Ray McDonald put together a tremendous game by notching eight hurries on his 49 pass rushes. Perhaps most impressive was his ability to move around the line as he posted hurries against all five offensive line positions. McDonald was particularly effective with the bull rush. He was right in Brees’ face for this second interception, but it was the fourth quarter where McDonald really started to dominate. He successfully bull-rushed offensive linemen five different times in the last eight minutes of the game. While Aldon Smith is collecting his sacks, the 49ers have a big weapon on their hands if McDonald continues to collapse the pocket every week.
----------
Safeties Donte Whitner and Dashon Goldson attacked downhill and only allowed 17 yards after the catch on the eight receptions into their coverage. The cornerback trio of Tarell Brown, Carlos Rogers, and Chris Culliver allowed only 5-of-11 balls to be caught their way for 102 yards. Seventy-eight of those yards came on two receptions against Brown that needed extraordinary catches by Joe Morgan and Lance Moore. It was a nice overall effort that held Brees to only 3-for-10 passing beyond 10 yards while ensuring that big plays were avoided on the 23 passes he completed at less than 10 yards.
----------
Saints were quite horrible in that department as they allowed 134 yards after the catch on only 16 receptions (8.4 YAC/reception).
----------
In addition to the poor decision, Brees struggled under pressure completing only 5-of-12 passes for 61 yards and a -1.8 grade to go along with five sacks. He had his fair share of good throws, but completing only three passes beyond 10 yards is not going to get it done against a 49ers defense that controlled the short passing game. Though he was only pressured on 17 of his 46 dropbacks, San Francisco was often able to free up multiple rushers and it seemed as if Brees was under more heat than the numbers suggest.
------------
- Kaepernick was pressured on 12 of his 28 dropbacks and he graded at +2.5 on his 10 throws on those plays.
- The 49ers blitzed Brees on only six of his 46 dropbacks.

Full Back: Bruce Miller, SF (+2.9)
The standout fullback this year courtesy of his consistent lead blocking, Miller also showed some nifty hands in the passing game to pick up some 49er first downs.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/11/27/pff-had-a-bad-day-team-of-week-12/
Defensive Front 3-4
Defensive Line: Isaac Sopoaga, SF (-3.7), Mike Devito (-3.3) and Haloti Ngata, BLT (-2.7)
Not every 49ers defender had a game for the ages. Sopoaga had some real problems on the nose, and even managed to miss a tackle when he did get off a block. Either side of him Devito had some problems getting off blocks to make plays while Ngata really failed to turn a lot of pass rushes into much pressure.
-------
Cornerbacks: A.J. Jefferson, MIN (-3.3) and Jabari Greer, NO (-3.2)
A near miss for Mike Jenkins, with the problems (and missed tackling) of Jefferson getting him a spot here. Greer gave up more yards (80) in one of his worst games since joining the Saints.
