49ers backup running back LaMichael James worked past a neck injury in Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Seahawks.

James got hit on his neck and lost his helmet on a muffed punt in the first half. He missed a portion of the second quarter before returning to field a kick with 5:47 left in the first half. He had one carry for no gain in the team's final series of the season, which led to a Seattle interception. It was his only offensive contribution in a 23-17 loss.
