San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has said that he expects Michael Crabtree to return next week.
The injured wide receiver has been out of action since sustaining an Achilles injury in May, but Harbaugh has confirmed that he will feature when the 49ers take on the St Louis Rams on Sunday.
Harbaugh told reporters on Monday night: "Michael Crabtree will be coming back next week. I anticipate that, yes."
Crabtree's return will provide a timely boost to the team, who have a 7-4 record in the NFC West.
