Jim Harbaugh: Michael Crabtree recovery "on track"

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has revealed that wide receiver Michael Crabtree is "on track" to make his return from injury.

Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon during the off-season and was reportedly poised to miss the year but has made strides in his recovery and could return within the next few weeks.

Harbaugh told reporters: "That's doable. I'm not going to make any proclamations or profound statements, but he's right on track for, at some point here, weeks."

The 49ers are 6-2 in their season following their win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley on Sunday.
