The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reports that 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall “tweaked his hamstring” and is unlikely to “practice in full until training camp starts in July.”

01 June 2025

Pearsall’s 2024 rookie season began similarly. He strained his hamstring during a mid-July practice and spent nearly two weeks on the reserve/non-football injury list. Perhaps Pearsall needs to work on his ramp-up methods. Much will be asked of the No. 3 wide receiver, entering his second NFL season with Deebo Samuel now a Commander and Brandon Aiyuk recovering from a torn ACL. We will follow Pearsall’s health closely in the run up to training camp. He has a chance to return flex value this ...

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reports that Brandon Aiyuk is not participating in voluntary organized team activities as he recovers from a torn ACL.

01 June 2025

This was expected. Back in March, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Aiyuk could be “ready to play by midseason.” The 49ers’ No. 1 wide receiver still has a long way to go as he rehabs his knee injury. Nos. 2 and 3 wide receivers Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall will be tasked with handling two-wide receiver sets early in the season.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that Christian McCaffrey is as “healthy as can be” and that the team must “protect him from himself.”

01 June 2025

McCaffrey is evidently ready to hit the ground running, but Shanahan and the 49ers know they must manage the soon-to-be 29-year-old’s repetitions responsibly. McCaffrey’s 2024 season was derailed by bilateral Achilles tendinitis and a season-ending PCL sprain. Slightly increasing second-year RB Isaac Guerendo’s workload could be helpful in this regard.

FOX Sports’ Eric Williams reports that Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe is studying film of 49ers QB Brock Purdy to better understand OC Klint Kubiak’s system and improve footwork.

01 June 2025

Kubiak served as the 49ers’ passing game coordinator during the 2023 NFL season. Although Milroe is studying the overlapping “reads and play calls,” he also remains focused on improving his footwork, which is becoming a running theme this offseason. Earlier this month, ESPN’s Brady Henderson reported that Milroe has been working on his “lower-half mechanics” with private QB coach Jordan Palmer. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler critiqued Milroe, pre-draft, for his “disjointed mechanics ...

Frank Ragnow’s absence from Lions OTAs this week appears contract-related.

31 May 2025


Joe Mixon (lower body) did not participate in Friday’s voluntary Texans OTAs.

30 May 2025

NBC’s Aaron Wilson has said that the injury, that reportedly has him in a walking boot, is “nothing serious” and that he thinks Mixon will be “ready for training camp.” It’s worth noting that Mixon played through an ankle injury in the playoffs. This probably isn’t something that should cause him to tumble down Best Ball boards but it’s worth monitoring as we get closer to training camp.

Texans OC Nick Caley said he had “no concerns whatsoever” about C.J. Stroud not throwing in voluntary OTAs this week.

30 May 2025

Our “we have no concerns whatsoever” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by our shirt. This is something we feel almost obligated to report, but everyone close to the Texans scene has painted it as a nothingburger, and DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday that players are “on different schedules in regards to their participation.” There doesn’t appear to be anything physically wrong with Stroud at this point.

The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes “there’s almost no scenario” where a rookie quarterback wins the Browns starting quarterback job initially.

30 May 2025

This won’t qualify as surprising news, but Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are battling for the pecking order after the gate is lowered. “But the reality is that either Gabriel or Sanders staying in the team’s plans and being deemed worthy of further development would count as a win,” Jackson notes while praising Sanders’ “obvious gifts.” Both quarterbacks are in the dynasty conversation, but they should be treated as stashes at this point.

Free agent EDGE Von Miller said he’s “definitely playing in 2025.”

30 May 2025

It’s not unusual for older pass rushers to take their time in deciding where to go, and Miller appears to be no exception. He told 9NEWS’ Mike Klis that a return to the Broncos “wouldn’t make sense” because the team has two strong pass rushers. Miller will likely be able to catch on elsewhere — probably closer to training camp — if he desires to continue his career.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Eagles “are working to finalize a trade that will send edge rusher Bryce Huff” to the 49ers.

30 May 2025


The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes Joe Flacco is “the favorite to win” the Browns’ QB camp battle.

30 May 2025

“Flacco throws the ball in a practice setting better than any of (the other quarterbacks),” per Jackson. His experience under head coach Kevin Stefanski during their 2023 stint also likely bodes well for Flacco’s chances, at least early on, but there’s a good chance we see three or four different quarterbacks take the field for the Browns in 2025, depending on how their season unfolds. Coming off a three-win season, it’s fair to say expectations are far from high for the Browns, who ra ...

Giants signed No. 25 overall pick QB Jaxson Dart to a four-year contract

30 May 2025

Dart’s deal is worth $17 million in fully guaranteed money. The rookie first-rounder is expected to take a back seat early in camp to veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Dart take the field at some point in his rookie season. Head coach Brian Daboll enters the year on arguably the hottest seat of any coach in the league. Regardless of how the year plays out, some visible growth from a team that finished 3-14 last season, coupled with a solid rooki ...

Lions HC Dan Campbell said Jameson Williams has “gotten so much stronger” in the offseason.

30 May 2025

In his first season, when he was healthy and not suspended, Williams showed his full potential as a playmaker for the Lions in 2024. The former first-round pick posted career-highs in receptions (58), receiving yards (1,001), and receiving touchdowns (7) while averaging an explosive 17.3 YPR. Hopes appear sky high for Williams heading into this season after new offensive coordinator John Morton said he expects a “breakout year” for him in 2025, and Campbell added this week that the “sky’ ...

Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports “multiple teams have reached out to the Falcons about the availability of Kyle Pitts.”

30 May 2025

According to Schultz, “nothing is imminent,” but the Falcons would prefer to keep the former No. 4 overall pick. He also adds that “it would take at least a Day 2 pick to even spark serious talks.” A hyper athletic tight end who burst on the scene as a rookie when he caught 68 passes for 1,026 yards and one touchdown, Pitts has struggled to replicate his rookie-year success. While injuries can be partly blamed for his struggles, Pitts’ effort has also been called into question at times ...

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters that there has been “healthy and positive progress” in contract negotiations with Kyren Williams.

30 May 2025

McVay sang praises for both Williams and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. McVay also confirmed that Williams is participating in voluntary organized team activities, and celebrated Williams for his “great willingness to come out here to work.” Williams has worked harder than all but two NFL running backs over the last two full seasons, totaling 663 touches during that span. The figure trails only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry. Although he turns just 25 in August, the Rams may seek to keep an ex ...

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said “I want to see (Isaiah Likely) be an All-Pro” this season.

30 May 2025

The long-time Ravens head coach went on to add, “That’d be my goal for him, and he’s capable of it.” It’s no secret that being an All-Pro requires a lot of playing time and a lot of production, and Likely would need both if he hopes to hit Harbaugh’s lofty goal this season. Of course, the challenge is overcoming Mark Andrews, who is presumed to be the Ravens’ TE1 this season, following an offseason of trade talks as the final year of his contract approaches. Like Andrews, Likely is ...

49ers S Ji’Ayir Brown (ankle) recently underwent surgery and will be sidelined until training camp in July.

30 May 2025

Brown had a solid second NFL season last year, totaling 59 tackles, five pass breakups, one interception and one quarterback pressure. Returning for training camp should give Brown ample time to ramp up safely in time for Week 1. Brown started only one of the 49ers last five games last season, but with Talanoa Hufanga fleeing in free agency will likely be a starter in 2025.

Packers signed WR Sam Brown Jr.

30 May 2025

Brown is an undrafted free agent rookie who spent two college seasons at West Virginia, two more at Houston, and his fifth and final season at Miami. While he is extremely unlikely to be relevant in re-draft formats, Packers wide receiver scouts have done a good job of finding depth players in recent seasons. He could be a name to know for deep dynasty leagues. The Packers waived DE Jeremiah Martin in a corresponding move.

Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown (knee) said his recovery “pace” is “ahead” of where it was when he injured his knee two years ago.

30 May 2025

Overshown is comparing his current recovery from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL to his torn ACL injury from the 2023 preseason. His timetable remains uncertain. Overshown adds that there is “no need to rush the process” and that he is “going to come back when [he is] 100 percent” ready to do so.

Vikings signed GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to a multi-year extension.
