A short time ago, Jim Harbaugh took to the podium for his weekly Monday press conference. The most notable news coming from it was a Wilton Speight injury update. Speight will be out multiple weeks.

The presser was a relatively short one, but with it being rivalry week versus Michigan State, there was more for Harbaugh to talk about.
