San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has revealed that cornerback Tarell Brown is improving every day following his injury in Sunday night's narrow defeat to the New Orleans Saints.

The initial fears were that Brown had suffered a season-ending rib injury, but according to Harbaugh the prognosis is now much better.

"He's good, walking around and getting better each day," Harbaugh told Chicoer.com. "It will take a little time. He's got something he's working through."

The 49ers, currently 6-4, are on a two-match losing streak and take on the Washington Redskins next.
