Texans signed FB Moran Norris. | ||||||
With only untested Derrell Smith and Jason Ford behind tight-end/fullback hybrid James Casey, the Texans will carry the veteran Norris as insurance through training camp. The 33-year-old won't be guaranteed a roster spot after losing his job to rookie Bruce Miller in San Francisco last year. | ||||||

49ers FB Moran Norris is expected to miss Sunday's game after suffering a leg injury last week. | ||||||
Rookie Bruce Miller was seeing first-team snaps in training camp, so there should be much of a drop-off. A converted defensive end, Miller may actually be an improvement on Norris in the run-blocking department. | ||||||

CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco believes 49ers FB Moran Norris is in danger of not making the team. | ||||||
Maiocco thinks seventh-round FB Bruce Miller has a roster spot sewn up. If that's indeed the case, then Norris can probably kiss his chances of making the club goodbye. A pure blocker entering his age-33 season, it's no guarantee Morris would latch on elsewhere if the 49errs cut him loose. | ||||||

ESPN's Mike Sando says it's reasonable to think the 49ers may be looking for a replacement for FB Moran Norris. | ||||||
Norris is a pure run blocker that is entering the final year of his contract and will turn 33 in June. The Niners could get younger at the position by drafting FB Owen Marecic, who played for new coach Jim Harbaugh at Stanford. | ||||||
