Coach Jim Harbaugh makes his living by delivering the unexpected.
In 2007, he took over a Stanford football program that was coming off of a 1-11 season and, in just three years, he turned the Cardinal into a national title contender.

The 49ers averted several injury scares during the preseason, but the team wasn’t so lucky with outside linebacker Parys Haralson. Last year’s starter was placed on injured reserve Monday with an arm injury.
