Former Patriots outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain, now in his second season with the 49ers, has been inactive for the first four games of the season. But it's looking more and more like Banta-Cain will be active for the first time this Sunday, when the Patriots come to town.

Manny Lawson's hamstring injury has opened the door for Banta-Cain.

Banta-Cain touched on his situation on the 49ers' official website, saying: “It has been frustrating. I think right now, my mind is on proving those wrong who think I shouldn’t have been playing this whole time. Now I get the opportunity to do it, so I just have to take full advantage of it so that now that I’m back out there, they won’t to inactivate me ever again.”
