The 49ers chose him because of their positional availability concerns. Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (calf) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) are all on the mend. Chosen caught 1-of-4 targets for five yards with the Dolphins last season. He is not fantasy-relevant in 2025. The team released WR Marquez Callaway in a corresponding move.

Pitre suffered a left shoulder injury in Week 5, now revealed to be an AC joint sprain. The good news is he won’t require surgery or go on injured reserve, but the 27-year-old is considered “week-to-week.” Given the designation, Pitre seems unlikely to play Week 6 against the Jaguars.

It appears that Kellen Moore and GM Mickey Loomis are on the hot seat after a surprisingly bad start and a no-show on the 20th anniversary of the return to the dome. We’d be a little surprised if Moore were fired in only the second year of his tenure, without even being given a chance to pick his own franchise quarterback. But most ownership groups would not say something like this out loud, so it’s worth noting.

Turner tore his ACL last October. He’ll likely work in a rotational role for the Bears early. The 23-year-old second-rounder will try to make up for lost time after spending all of camp and the first month of the season on the shelf.

Jackson, notably, was not suspended before the season despite his domestic violence charge. We’ll likely see an appeal here. David Quessenberry would likely be the next man up for the Rams at tackle.

The 26-year-old had four catches on 12 targets this year for the Texans as part of Nick Caley’s weird wideout platoon system. He’ll be tasked with watching Malik Willis throws land somewhere in his general vicinity for the next 11 weeks.

It’s unclear when he picked this injury up, but it does make the Audric Estime signing make some more sense. Sanders will miss at least four games. Assuming Quinshon Judkins (ankle) is good to go for Week 5, Jaleel McLaughlin and Estime will back him up.

“At some point, there has to be consequences,” Brady said about his lead back, who has fumbled four times in five games this season, including twice on Monday night. Cook has played 67.3 percent of the team’s snaps, and this probably isn’t a threat to his lead back status, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he sat on the bench for a spell if he fumbled in Week 6.

It’s the second time he’s back; Haskins is a depth piece for the Patriots as they try to compensate for TreVeyon Henderson’s injury. Corey Kiner appears to be first up for a role behind Rhamondre Stevenson.

Assuming there’s not an appeal, Sweat will miss Week 6 and Week 7. Sweat has two sacks in five appearances so far this season.

Pitcher suggested that when they run the ball more from shotgun — as they did last week against the Dolphins — Perine’s a better fit for those kinds of plays. The Bengals spent a lot of time this offseason working on an under center run game to get Brown more explosives, but that has gone for naught early on in the season. We may indeed see more Perine in Cincinnati’s running game after they return from the bye week, lowering Brown into the RB2 range.
