Niners coach Mike Singletary said the team didn't get enough rest between a Monday night game against New Orleans and a trip to Kansas City in September, contributing to two losses in six days.
This time, he's taking it easy on the team with lighter practices and more rest on another week made short by a Monday night game.
That's one reason running back Brian Westbrook (ankle) missed a second straight practice, even though he is expected to start.
