champion Johnny Tapia died from heart disease and high blood pressure and not
from a drug overdose, his widow said Wednesday.(Sports Network) – Uncertainty
surrounds Monday nights marquee matchup between the NFC North Division-leading
Chicago Bears and the frontrunners in the West, the San Francisco 49ers.
Concussions have put the status of both starting quarterbacks in question while
the Niners head coach, Jim Harbaugh, was sent to the hospital last Thursday when
doctors discovered he had an irregular heartbeat. Harbaugh underwent what was
described as a “minor procedure” and was back at work on Friday preparing for
the Bears. “They had to do a little procedure, cardiovert,” Harbaugh said after
getting back to work. “Get it back normal. Its amazing they can do a procedure
like that.” Cardioversion is an electric shock that gets the heart back into a
normal rhythm and Harbaugh said it wasnt the first time hes had to have
something done to his heart. “About 13 years ago, I had a cardio ablation for
the same thing,” the 49ers coach said. “An atrial flutter is what I have.”
Assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Brad Seely handled the 49ers
practice on Thursday and would have presumably been in line to run things if
Harbaugh was unable to recover quick enough for Monday night but the coach is
ready to go against the organization he played seven of his 14 NFL seasons for.
“If youre a football player, its a game you live for. If youre not, its another
day at the office,” Harbaugh said. “I hope its everything they live for.” On the
field San Franciscos Alex Smith was belted twice in last Sundays 24-24 tie with
St. Louis, ultimately exiting the game in the second quarter after suffering
blurred vision. Smith did enough to pass the NFLs ImPACT testing protocol and
was able to practice in a limited fashion by Thursday, but did not pass a
concussion test and is not medically cleared to play. The Bears Jay Cutler, isnt
doing as well either after being walloped during a helmet-to-helmet collision
with Houston linebacker Tim Dobbins late in the first half of the teams 13-6
loss to the Texans on Nov. 11. Dobbins was fined $30,000 earlier this week for
the hit and Cutler has been ruled out of Mondays game. On paper Chicago seems a
little better prepared to withstand the loss of its starting quarterback since
veteran Jason Campbell is the caddy for the Bears while untested but super
athletic Colin Kaepernick is Smiths backup for San Francisco. Reggie Wayne Elite Jersey. Campbell, who has
significant starting experience in previous stops with Washington and Oakland,
was unable to lead Chicago on a game-tying drive in the waning moments of its
loss to Houston, however. A steady rain and two play-making defenses made points
hard to come by in that one. Houston and Chicago combined for six turnovers in
the opening 30 minutes, with the Texans forcing four of them. Campbell connected
on 11-of-19 throws for 94 yards against the Texans while Matt Forte ran for 39
yards on 16 carries. “Were 7-2,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said. “Were going to
get ready for San Francisco. We have an extra day to get ready for them. Theres
a lot of football left to go.” Two normally trustworthy kickers misfired in
overtime and the end result was the NFLs first tie in nearly four years during
the Niners last game Both David Akers and Greg Zuerlein both missed field goals
in overtime as San Francisco and St. Louis Rams played to NFLs first tie since
Nov. 16, 2008 when the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals finished their
contest knotted at 13-13. Akers, who sent the game into overtime with a 33-yard
field goal with three seconds remaining in regulation, sailed his kick wide left
from 41 yards out midway through the extra session. Zuerlein initially nailed a
53-yard attempt on St. Louis ensuing series, but a delay of game penalty was
called. The rookie kicker, who split the uprights from 60 yards away earlier in
the year, pushed it right from 58 yards out. Smith was 7-of-8 for 72 yards and a
touchdown before exiting the contest with the concussion. Kaepernick came on and
threw for 117 yards on 11-of-17 efficiency and added 66 yards on the ground for
San Francisco, which had won four of its previous four games coming in. “The way
I feel it was a good football game, it was a hard fought game, it came out
even,” Harbaugh said. The 49ers hold a slim 31-29-1 edge in their all-time
series with the Bears, including a 21-12 advantage at home. This game also marks
the fourth matchup between the two clubs on Monday Night Football, and the first
since 1991. ’ ’ ’
