49ers notebook: Clements' season could be over

INDIANAPOLIS ? Further medical tests today could decide the fate of cornerback Nate Clements and left tackle Joe Staley.
Clements sustained a fractured right scapula against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The 49ers withheld announcing whether Clements was finished for the season, although a similar injury sent tackle Tony Pashos to the injured-reserve list a week ago.
Clements' injury came late in the first half, although the 49ers did not reveal whether the injury came on a punt return. Clements, serving as a returner for the first time this season, had four punt returns for 31 yards.
He did not start on defense, as the 49ers went with Tarell Brown. Coach Mike Singletary said Brown's place in the starting lineup was supposed to be a one-week experiment based on the Colts' personnel.
"We were going on basic matchups,'' Singletary said.
Now, Brown could wind up the starter for good. Against the Colts, he was credited with two tackles and a quarterback hurry.
