Rams finally share good news about Myles Garrett
Sean McVay confirms that edge rusher Myles Garrett will resume practice this week, opening his 21‑day window to return to the active roster before a potential IR move. The former Browns star missed all of L.A.’s season to date after a Week 1 knee injury against the 49ers. Tight end Terrance Ferguson also looks set to return. The Rams, who traded a first‑round pick and Jared Verse for Garrett, hope his debut comes soon, possibly before the upcoming game versus Washington.
Brandon Aiyuk Takes Major Step toward NFL Return after Commanders Dream Fell Apart
Brandon Aiyuk, the 28‑year‑old former 49ers wide receiver, hires veteran agent Drew Rosenhaus as a crucial step toward an NFL comeback after more than two years off the field. Aiyuk, who hasn't played since an ACL, MCL and meniscus injury on Oct. 20, 2024, must first apply for reinstatement and then await San Francisco’s decision on his contract—trade, release, or retain. His hoped‑for move to Washington fell through when the Commanders signed Stefon Diggs, leaving his future uncertain. With his 2023 stats of 75 catches, 1,342 yards and second‑team All‑Pro honors, Aiyuk’s return hinges on the reinstatement process and a possible November 10 deadline.
NFL Trade Deadline Rumors: Bears want pass rush and secondary help
NFL insider Jordan Schultz says the Chicago Bears are still hunting a pass rusher and secondary help as the trade deadline approaches on Nov. 10.

The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, continue to chase a receiver and pass rusher, having just added DeForest Buckner. Schultz warns both clubs aren’t done making moves before the deadline.
Packers Roster: Green Bay works out 5 on Monday

LB prospects D.J. Johnson (2023 third‑round pick, 8.32 RAS, ex‑Panthers and Commanders), Dasan McCullough (2026 undrafted LB, 9.45 RAS, former Broncos contract) and Reid Williford (2026 LB, 9.46 RAS, recently cleared from an injury settlement with the Ravens) also participated.

Trey Zuhn III gets vote of confidence from Klint Kubiak after Las Vegas Raiders Week 8 win over New York Jets
In Week 8’s 31‑24 win over the New York Jets, rookie right guard Trey Zuhn III earned his first NFL start and impressed head coach Klint Kubiak, who praised Zuhn’s calmness and preparation. Zuhn logged three impact plays – tied for third among Raiders linemen and just two behind center Tyler Linderbaum – suggesting he could stick around as a starter. The Raiders also broke a four‑game rushing slump, posting 95 yards on the ground, and quarterback Kirk Cousins was sacked only once. Kubiak added updates on running‑back splits, cornerback injuries, and depth‑chart rotations as the team looks ahead to a showdown with the 49ers.

Do the Rams have an impressive win yet this season?
The Los Angeles Rams sit at .500 after two straight wins, but the article argues they still lack a signature victory. Their four losses came to strong opponents (49ers, Broncos, Bills, Cardinals) while the four wins were against teams with a combined 10‑19‑1 record, including a winless Chargers. The Rams’ 22‑point rout of the Giants is praised, yet critics say only a win over a top club—like the Packers on Nov. 25—would truly earn respect. Injuries remain a factor, but potential returns from Myles Garrett and Davante Adams could change the narrative.
Falcons Cut Two Edge Rushers
The Atlanta Falcons have cut two edge rushers, releasing outside linebacker Jared Ivey from the 53-man roster and practice‑squad youngster Drake Jackson on Monday, according to team site reporter Tori McElhaney. Jackson, a 2022 second‑round pick from USC who spent his rookie year with the 49ers and later signed with Washington before joining Atlanta’s practice squad, is now a free agent. Ivey’s roster status isn’t detailed, but both moves clear space for new talent as the Falcons reshape their defense ahead of the season.

Each candidate presents differing costs and upside as San Francisco looks to bolster depth before season’s end.

With his contract tolled and the 49ers no longer obligated to pay him, Aiyuk must apply for reinstatement, and his former team faces no further action.

While a comeback in the 2026 season remains a long shot, Aiyuk’s representation aims to get him back on a field soon.

Kirk Cousins silences quarterback change talks in Week 8 win over New York Jets
Kirk Cousins quiets Raiders’ quarterback‑change chatter by engineering a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 8. The veteran threw for 247 yards, completing 19 of 26 passes and delivering all four Raiders touchdowns—including a rushing score and his signature “Wellness Celebration.” Cousins’ 73.1% completion rate and zero turnovers earn him at least two more starts as Las Vegas fights for a wild‑card spot. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Brock Bowers posts the week’s highest PFF receiving grade (92.2) with 92 yards and two scores, while the Raiders’ run defense remains a liability despite the victory.
Ranking top 3 49ers most likely to be dealt at 2026 NFL trade deadline after adding DeForest Buckner
The 49ers, now 6-1 after adding Deebo Samuel and DeForest Bucklin, are eyeing the November 10 trade deadline and have identified three players who could be moved. Wideout veteran Brandin Cooks, who has seen limited action (3 catches, 33 yards, 1 TD) since joining the roster, is the least likely to be dealt due to ongoing receiver injuries. Safety Malik Mustapha, a 2024 fourth‑round pick with 22 starts but sidelined by a hamstring, could fetch a fourth‑ or fifth‑round pick given his age (24) and contract through 2027. The article outlines why each is a potential trade candidate amid San Francisco’s depth and championship push.
Brandon Aiyuk Close To Hiring New Representatives In Effort To Return To NFL
49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is reportedly hiring new representatives to pursue reinstatement and a return to the NFL after being sidelined this season. Though San Francisco still holds his rights, head coach Kyle Shanahan dismissed any reunion in late September. Aiyuk, the No. 25 overall pick in 2020, signed a four‑year, $120 million extension with $76 million guaranteed after a near‑trade to the Steelers. He played seven games in 2024, catching 23 passes for 351 yards with no touchdowns. Jordan Schultz of NFLTradeRumors says the move could pave the way for Aiyuk’s comeback.
