By the time the 49ers advanced to last season’s NFC championship game, their quarterback depth chart had already taken some serious damage. Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance had already been lost for the season, but the offense maintained a high level of performance with rookie Brock Purdy at the helm.

Fantasy football managers are always looking for late round gems during NFL preseason games.
On Thursday night, they may have just found one.
Texans rookie wideout Tank Dell shined in the first half of the club’s first preseason matchup against the Patriots, hauling in a game-high five receptions for 65 yards in the first half.

C.J. Stroud began his professional football career against the Patriots on a night when their defense wasn’t exactly taking it easy.

Even if he beats the odds and what the textbooks say about recovering from a sutured meniscus repair surgery, Jalen Ramsey will not regain his elite abilities this season, the former longtime physician of the Chargers believes.
And Dr. David Chao, who continues to practice in Southern California and has established a notable business analyzing NFL injuries using video and his vast experience, made that opinion clear on social media recently.
Which, unsurprisingly, drew a reaction from Ramsey.
