>>49ers RB McCaffrey Added To Injury Report
(Santa Clara, CA) — The 49ers have added their superstar running back to the injury report prior to the start of the regular season. San Francisco tailback Christian McCaffrey was added to the list Thursday because of a calf issue. McCaffrey was limited during the team’s practice on Thursday. The 29-year-old sat out most of 2024 training camp while dealing with a calf injury that was later described as bilateral Achilles tendinitis. The three-time Pro Bowler finished last season with 202 rushing yards and 146 receiving yards in four games played.
>>Jets WR Wilson Says He And Aaron Rodgers Haven’t Spoken
(Undated) — A couple former Jets teammates could reconnect for the first time on Sunday. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson said Thursday that he hasn’t kept in touch with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers since he left New York for Pittsburgh. Wilson, who caught 98 passes from Rodgers in 2024, mentioned that the two haven’t spoken with each other since the departure, but he wishes Rodgers “the best this season.” The Jets host the Steelers in their season opener on Sunday.
>>Report: Eagles Tried To Trade For Micah Parsons
(Philadelphia, PA) — The NFL rich nearly got richer. ESPN reports the Eagles made a strong push to trade for former Cowboys gamewrecker Micah Parsons.

Parsons was eventually dealt to the Packers for a pair of first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark.
