Balmer meets, does not practice

Posted Aug 13, 2010
Defensive end Kentwan Balmer met with 49ers head coach Mike Singletary on Wednesday night. What transpired in their meeting is not known. What is known is Balmer missed practice again Thursday. The 2008 first-round pick had excused absences for Monday and Tuesday, but the 49ers did not excuse his absence Wednesday (or presumably Thursday). (San Francisco Gate)
