San Francisco's wide receiver Arnaz Battle, running back Frank Gore, CBs Walt Harris and Shawntae Spencer, DTs Isaac Sopoaga and Bryant Young, as well as linebacker Jeff Ulbrich all missed Wednesday practice due to injuries, which should make it all that easier for the Bengals to cover the -8.5 spread.
