Boldin Likely to Play on Sunday

Amazing how the injured heal quicker when your team is in the midst of an end of the season swoon.
Anquan Boldin, who we were told would most likely sit the last two games in order to rest his injury up for the playoffs, is now a likely candidate to take the field on Sunday in [...]
