good news and bad news for 49ers qbs

On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance told reporters he'd be cleared soon after undergoing two surgeries on his broken ankle. Lance is expected to be a full-go by OTAs. This is good news for the Niners, who are expected to be rid of Jimmy Garoppolo soon and have Brock Purdy out for at least six months.

Trey Lance says he’s 3-4 weeks from being fully cleared for practice. He said he’ll be 100 percent for OTAs

Speaking of 49ers QBs, rookie Brock Purdy is currently awaiting second opinions on his injured UCL - a repair vs. reconstruction surgery will determine the time he will be able to return to football activities. Purdy told reporters on Tuesday that he will make a final decision soon.

more QB news:

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the season with QB Mitch Trubisky before turning to rookie Kenny Pickett in Week Four. It took Pickett a bit to warm up, but he emerged from the 2022 season almost in the postseason and is getting better every week. Tight end Pat Freiermuth agrees. "He was just so much more confident and so much more urgent and knew what he was gonna do. So it took him a little bit to get going, but showed that he's the real deal."
  • Trevor Lawrence will replace Patrick Mahomes on the Pro Bowl roster, as Mahomes has something more important to take care of.
    • Jared Goff will replace Jalen Hurts in the Pro Bowl, as he's also playing in the Super Bowl.
  • If you weren't sure if the Pro Bowl was a joke yet, you will now. Baltimore Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley is heading to the Pro Bowl in place of Josh Allen. At the time voting closed, Huntley had thrown zero (as in, none) touchdowns on the season.
  • It's not a secret that the Buffalo Bills made Josh Allen put it all out on the field. General Manager Brandon Beane says Allen took too many hits in 2022. "The only thing I'd get on to him is he's got too many bruises on him. And we've got to work on taking less hits. That's the only reason I'm ever going to criticize Josh is just take less hits." Maybe that's something Beane can work on this offseason; just saying.
  • Frank Reich has been through the wringer regarding quarterbacks - it started with Andrew Luck and went downhill. Reich is now with the Carolina Panthers and basically has a blank slate. Reich explained how his time with all different kinds of quarterbacks could help him decide which direction to go with Carolina. "I've had to work with the young, the old, the pocket passer, the guy who moves. And I think even though it wasn't always an ideal scenario, like in Indy having a different quarterback every year, I did learn a lot through it because you're forced to adapt and evolve your offense around different styles of quarterbacks."
  • Derek Carr will also attend the Pro Bowl, which should be renamed to Mid Bowl, at this point.
  • The Denver Broncos hired their next head coach Sean Payton, and one of his biggest tasks is to fix Russell Wilson. In 2022, Wilson had one of the worst seasons of his career, and his new coach is already somehow convinced he can be the one to resurrect the old Russell Wilson. "Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league. The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. I'm excited about him." Let's ride, indeed.

Its not easy to play in Seattle and all eyes were on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy finished the first quarter 9-for-9 as the Niners lead the Seahawks 7-0.

The cherry on top was this 28-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle.

The 49ers went on to beat Seattle, 21-13, clinching the division title.

Purdy was efficient in his first road start, completing 17-of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

more Qb news:

  • The Cincinnati Bengals are playing Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, so people will be comparing the two quarterbacks. Joe Burrow doesn't have time for that, though. "I don't pay attention to it. He's Tom, and I'm Joe. I really just think that I play the game my own way."
  • Desmond Ridder is the new starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and he's giving all the credit to the team for preparing him, even though he's a rookie. "I'm prepared for this. This is what they've been preparing me for. They didn't want to baby me. It means going about the game plan how a 12-year vet, an eight-year vet, whatever it may be, would."
  • Despite having a talented roster, the Las Vegas Raiders are about to miss the playoffs again. And on top of that, it's looking like quarterback Derek Carr may be on the move this offseason. Carr says he doesn't think about his future during the season (yeah, right). "I've always tried my best to - as I've gotten older in my career - just eliminate all of those things."
  • The Tennessee Titans have lost three straight and fired their general manager. But they aren't dead yet. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill acknowledged that they have to turn things around fast. "Everything we want is still right in front of us. You want to get hot at the right time. This is the end of the year. This is the point where we want to start getting hot as the season finishes."
  • Lamar Jackson did not practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley practiced in full.
    • John Harbaugh said Huntley cleared concussion protocol on Thursday, but did not name him the starter for Saturday's game. (Hint: He'll likely be the starter.)
    • Jackson was officially ruled out for Saturday's game. Huntley has no injury designation.
    • Cleveland Browns defender Myles Garrett had some high praise for Huntley.

  • Trevor Lawrence's emergence is upon us, and he says he's focused on playing this way moving forward and, of course, proving the haters wrong. "Honestly, I have a little bit more of a chip on my shoulder now just because of the last year and a half. I don't really forget what's been said and what people have written.

    • Lawrence returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant.
  • Drew Brees accepted a temporary coaching position at Purdue.

  • Kenny Pickett has entered the NFL's concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's game. Backup Mitch Trubisky took his place and would likely get the starting nod should Pickett not be able to go in Week 15. This is Pickett's second such injury in two months, which is cause for concern.

Mike Tomlin said if QB Kenny Pickett (concussion protocol) is "able to work, we'll work him. If not, we'll get Mitch and Mason ready." He said when dealing with concussion protocol, you take it day-to-day.

The Tennessee Titans dominated the Green Bay Packers from start to finish on Thursday Night Football. The star of the show was running back Derrick Henry. Henry topped 1,000 rushing yards for the season (seven-plus weeks to go). Henry also ran for a touchdown and played quarterback for the night, tossing this pass to tight end Austin Hooper for six.

more qb news:

  • The Las Vegas Raiders are keeping head coach Josh McDaniels around for some reason, despite him being a horrible coach. Speaking of horrible, Derek Carr was asked about Mark Davis' endorsement of McDaniels. "There is a process, and we do have time during the season that we know who our leader is, and we know that we're rolling, and that gives us confidence as a football team." Ummm.. ok.
  • Baker Mayfield will start for the Carolina Panthers this weekend, but he's not worried about keeping the job. "It's pretty important to win since we're still in the division race. That's where I'm at. Not worried about anything else, it'll take care of itself as long as I do my job, and we'll see where it goes."
  • Justin Fields is on pace to set the new quarterback rushing record, but there are always concerns about a quarterback's body when running. Fields acknowledged the toll all the running takes on his body. "My legs just felt heavy after the game. The guys on the strength staff said that my load has been pretty high, so I've just been doing a little bit of tapering back this week in practice."
  • After missing last week's game, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will be cleared from the concussion protocol and will start Sunday's game against the Saints. The bigger problem is the absence of wide receiver Cooper Kupp, but I'm sure the Rams will take what they can get at this point.

  • The New England Patriots' offense has struggled this season, but with the team still in the middle of a playoff race, quarterback Mac Jones spent his bye week reflecting on his play. "I think a lot of us are working on different things every day, and the bye week's a great time to do that. So for me, just making sure my feet and eyes are in the right place and continue to go through my reads and continue to improve in the weight room, nutrition, all that stuff."
  • Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett has been dealing with some first-year jitters this season. His interceptions are one of the main ones sticking out like a sore thumb. But, Pickett said, "There are things I can get a lot better at. It's knowing what those things are and finding out and going and attacking it."
  • Josh Allen was limited in Thursday's practice.
  • Kyler Murray and Colt McCoy both practiced on Thursday, but on a limited basis.

Yes, Matt Canada called this play.

The Pittsburgh Steelers ran the 'Philly Special' against the Philadelphia Eagles, because of course they did. It involved wide receiver Chase Claypool throwing a touchdown to fullback (!!) Derek Watt for six in the first quarter.

The Steelers ended up losing this game (badly) and the Eagles remain the only undefeated team in the league.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has the touchdown catch of the year so far with this one-handed grab from QB Kyler Murray.

Hopkins is coming off of a six-game PED suspension and is still one of the best in the league made sure to stick his hand out while being smothered by Minnesota Vikings defenders.

The Cardinals went on to lose this game, 34-26.
No one wants to win the NFC South.

In a close game, the Carolina Panthers had wide receiver DJ Moore line up to receive a Hail Mary attempt from QB PJ Walker, which was caught.

But before they had a chance to get excited, Moore ripped off his helmet, which is a (lame) penalty for excessive celebration, generating a flag by the refs.

The kick was missed, sending the game into overtime.

The Atlanta Falcons ended up winning this one by pure magic, 37-34.

DAk Prescott still not ready to play

While it was expected he'd return in Week 5, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott doesn't seem ready to see the field yet. Owner Jerry Jones spoke on Tuesday and stated that Prescott can't yet grip the football "well enough to play."

Is Cowboys QB Dak Prescott currently able to grip the ball with surgically repaired thumb?

Jerry Jones to @1053thefan: “No, not well enough to play.”

— Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) October 4, 2022

Prescott injured his thumb in Week One and has since had surgery. While he was eyeing a Week Five return, backup quarterback Cooper Rush has been holding down the fort quite well at the position and, therefore, shouldn't Rush it. Haha get it?

So, when will we see Dak Bak? (I need to stop with these puns.) I think Prescott will return when he is:
  1. Wholly recovered and/or healthy.
  2. Whenever Rush has a god-awful game and things start to go downhill quickly.
  3. Whichever of those comes first.

  • While this was technically announced on Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced rookie Kenny Pickett as the team's starting quarterback in Week Five. Former starter Mitchell Trubisky stunk up the joint for just four weeks before head coach Mike Tomlin announced the move to throw the keys to the rook. Here's hoping this is the spark they need.

The Los Angeles Rams kick off the 2022 NFL season on Thursday, but one of its members who won a ring with the team will be absent. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is a free agent, as he's been nursing a knee injury this offseason. However, reports surfaced on Monday that the Rams have kept Beckham's locker (with the nameplate - very important) intact, perhaps keeping him in mind when he's healthy and ready to return.

Adding fuel to the fire, Beckham tweeted on Tuesday that he would be watching the game very closely, which led to questions of whether his decision to sign was between the Rams and their opponent, the Buffalo Bills.

Whoever wins Thursday !!!!! ? ? ?can’t wait … to all the boys goin into the season! May God bless u wit peace of mind and physical strength to endure the season. God watch over all my brothers this year let them shine and stay healthy !! LUV

— Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) September 6, 2022

One thing to note: The Rams and Buffalo are two teams linked to landing the star WR this off-season. While a resolution might not come until later in the season due to his recovery, Beckham could certainly have to decide between these two teams, which may not be a bad problem to have.

more:

  • Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari told reporters on Monday he thinks he will be ready to play in Week One's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Bakhtiari has been dealing with what seems like 800 knee injuries - he originally tore his ACL in 2020, briefly played last season for like three seconds (literally), and then had another knee surgery this past offseason. Bakhtiari, one of the NFL's best offensive linemen when healthy, would undoubtedly boost the Packers in 2022, as long as they don't feel they are rushing his return.

David Bakhtiari says he's on track to start opener vs. Vikings.

  • As mentioned in yesterday's post, the Pittsburgh Steelers did, in fact, name Mitch Trubisky their starting quarterback in a press conference Tuesday. The change to the depth chart at the position was also something I alluded to yesterday - rookie Kenny Pickett moved up to the backup QB spot, and Mason Rudolph was demoted down to No. 3.

#Steelers coach Mike Tomlin names Mitch Trubisky the starting QB, saying, “We're really comfortable with what Mitch has shown us.”
As for rookie Kenny Pickett, he said, “I'm really pleased with the growth and development of Kenny. That's why he's listed as QB2.”

Mitch Trubisky is Pittsburgh's QB1

9/6/2022

It's what we've all been waiting for. While there has been no formal announcement from the team, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is listed as the No. 1 QB on the Pittsburgh Steelers' depth chart to start Week One.

While Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin still hasn't made any official announcement, Mitch Trubisky is listed first at quarterback on the team’s depth chart that was released today for Pittsburgh’s regular-season opener vs. the Bengals.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 5, 2022
The starting role was always Trubisky's to lose since Pittsburgh signed him to a two-year, $14.58 million contract this offseason. But, while Trubisky took most of the first-string reps this summer during training camp, it was suspected perhaps rookie (and only first-round QB selected in this year's draft) Kenny Pickett could overtake the role. Instead, Pickett is listed as No. 3 on the Steelers' first depth chart, behind Mason Rudolph, for some reason.

How long will the depth chart stay this way? It's a fair question. Head coach Mike Tomlin could announce otherwise before the Steelers' first game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. If Trubisky struggles during the season, do they throw the keys to the rookie? I think Pickett will start a game this season before Rudolph, should they reach that point. But for now, it's wait and see.

  • The Dallas Cowboys have reached a one-year deal with left tackle Jason Peters. As a result, Peters will begin on the practice squad and eventually move onto the 53-man roster. This signing is more of an insurance move since Peters is 40. But as the saying goes, you can never have too many offensive linemen.

I'm told the #Cowboys and OT Jason Peters have a working agreement on a 1-year deal. Peters is expected to start out on the practice Squad at this time, per league source. Will be on the wire today.

Legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement for the second time on Tuesday. The first time happened two seasons ago, and a Super Bowl ring came out of it. The person who coaxed him out of retirement was none other than Tom Brady, who recently un-retired himself. Could it happen again?

Ogunjobi failed a physical earlier this offseason with the Chicago Bears, voiding his three-year, $40.5 million contract they had previously agreed on. The Steelers needed help at that position following Stephon Tuitt's surprise exit. This is a total Steelers move, a possible bargain this deep in free agency, and the quick visit shows that they can't be that concerned with the injury that plagued his previous commitment.

Former Bengals’ DT Larry Ogunjobi has signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per source.

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald has done a lot in his career. Along with his recent Super Bowl trophy, Donald has stacked up three Defensive Player of the Year awards, seven All-Pro nods, and has been a Pro Bowler in all of his eight seasons in the NFL. But, at 31, Donald is in the midst of contract talks with his team and isn't shying away from the retirement talk.

As a guest on the 'I Am Athlete' podcast, Donald explained his decision to contemplate walking away from the game he loves. What's super interesting to me; is Donald said he went into the NFL expecting to play eight seasons. Now that his eighth season is up -- what's next? While many signs point to a deal getting worked out between Donald and the Rams, it's not going to be under his current contract. So, how long will we continue seeing Donald in an NFL uniform?

Aaron Donald is at peace with retiring if a new contract with the Rams doesn't get worked out.

  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed veteran defensive lineman Akiem Hicks to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million. Quite a big signing for a player who has only a year or two left in the tank. The past three seasons have not been kind to Hicks as far as injuries go, but Hicks may get the chance to ride with a contender in his go-around in the NFL.

Former Bears’ DL Akiem Hicks reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per source. Deal negotiated by Bucs’ exec Mike Greenberg and agents @DrewJRosenhaus and @RyanMatha.

  • Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is heading into his second season 14 pounds heavier than his listed weight of 230. Eddie Lacy 2.0? Not so fast. Most players gain weight during the offseason in preparation for the workload of training camp and the upcoming season—no need to panic.

Najee Harris weighs 244. Look out NFL

  • Speaking of panicking... Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that left tackle David Bakhtiari would "hopefully" be ready by training camp. -record scratch - "Hopefully?" Bakhtiari seems to still be recovering from that knee injury he sustained in 2020, which kept him out for the entirety of 2021. The team has been saying they don't think this knee injury is a long-term problem or a career-ender, but it crosses into "we're concerned" territory if he's not ready by next month.

Matt LaFleur on David Bakhtiari not on the field for OTAs:

"Our plan all along was to hold him from this and get strong and hopefully be ready to go for training camp."
