-PUP/NFI is only for players who began camp on PUP/NFI. You can't have practiced and then go on it. And it's a 4-game commitment for anyone transferred to regular season PUP/NFI. Among the candidates: Aiyuk, YGM, Rourke -IR placements before cutdown cannot simply be activated this season. Injured players whom the 49ers want to return this season, if not on PUP/NFI, must make the 53-man cut before going to IR -49ers will have 2 "designated to return" IR spots and those players won't count vs initial 53 — but they must be used AT Tuesday's cutdown, not before. Among the candidates: Givens and Puni -The practice squad has been more useful than ever since the NFL's 2020 rules changes. If used cleverly, it can be seen as an effective extension of the 53-man roster. The trick lies in strategically cutting and re-signing the appropriate players in a way that minimizes outside poaching -If/when Demarcus Robinson is suspended, he won't take up a 53-man roster spot. This will set the table for one of many temporary maneuvers. Expect others right at the cutdown, including releases following by re-signings the very next day after some strategic IR placements
The 49ers have waived RB Corey Kiner.
ReplyDeletePity! Hope he remains unclaimed.
DeleteIn that case he'd revert to the 49ers’ IR list tomorrow.
DeleteThe 49ers have signed WR Malik Knowles.
ReplyDeleteTrevor Goosby, LT, Texas is another player I'm gonna keep my eyes on this year.
ReplyDeleteAnother case of not all things that glitters are good. Daniel Jones gets the nod over Anthony Richardson as the starting QB for Colts.
ReplyDelete49ers WR Demarcus Robinson has been suspended 3 games for violating NFL's substance abuse policy, per Kyle Shanahan .

ReplyDeleteHave the 9ers said if Puni has a grade one or two PCL injury?
If they have I haven't heard. All I heard was he has a chance to be ready by week 1. That would suggest grade one.
DeleteNiners are acquiring Skyy Moore from the Chiefs.
ReplyDeleteI think the Niners gave up a 6th round pick and Niners got the Chiefs 7th round pick. Guess the guy was going to be cut.
