"The NFL informed the 49ers on Tuesday that wide receiver Braylon Edwards will not be suspended for a DUI incident that occurred a year ago when he was a member of the New York Jets.

Edwards, who pleaded guilty to the charges in July, instead was fined $50,000 for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Edwards, who finished with 904 yards and a 17.1 yards-per-catch average last season, is expected to be one of Alex Smith's top targets this season. He did not start any of the team's preseason games, although he rotated in with the first unit.

While Joshua Morgan is listed as one starter at wide receiver on the 49ers' weekly release, the other spot is listed as "Ted Ginn OR Braylon Edwards." Given Jim Harbaugh's penchant for secrecy, that "either/or" designation likely will remain despite the news that Edwards won't miss the game for the DUI violation."
