I guess Lion’s kicker blew out his hamstring and is out for the  season. They are bringing in a bunch of tryout guys. We definitely have incentive to keep the kicker battle going up til the end. At least make a rival sweat it out before they can try to recycle GB trash.

They had already signed that K from the UFL, so it's not like they are totally screwed.

He definitely has the “leg up” in the competition. I think they would definitely want Turner back if we released him.  Maybe we do the player a favor and cut him early but I doubt it since it would benefit a rival. If their UFL guy works out, that league might become a specialist recruitment incubator after the season the guy in Dallas just had.

Kicker is a hard one to evaluate in season. You hope you’ve got your guy but never know until the critical moments in game. Anyway, if Anders becomes a solid pro none of it will matter but that competition might go a while.  I hope they cut it down to two at some point.

I think the specialists are definitely where the UFL/XFL gives guys a legit chance to play and receive interest from NFL if they perform well.  Hell, Anders will probably land there if he loses the camp competition.

I had to laugh when I saw this

Quote

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (back, neck) has been doing everything at training camp except practicing, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Aiyuk has been dealing with back and neck soreness.

Well my neck and back still hurt!

Go to work, but tell them you’re doing a “hold in” until compensation improves.  Seems like it works based on my understanding of what I see in the NFL.

Which is honestly probably fine for the teams. So long as they're mainly farting around with installs and it's a vet, who cares?

I expect it's true enough that SF would probably rather have Aiyuk sit out most of camp rather than half *** it through the practices.  The reserves can use the snaps.  Once the games are real, Aiyuk will be playing.

I guess that depends on how committed he is to being paid this year. Is he that rare dude who will sit out the maximum number of games and still have the year counted.
