NFL Notes: 49ers, Packers, Rams, Seahawks, & Steelers

 

49ers

• NFL teams interested in trading for 49ers G Alex Boone are reportedly “perplexed” about what it would take to acquire the guard. (Jason La Canfora)
• GMs around the league are “more convinced” that Alex Boone won’t be dealt, even though the two sides are not close to an extension. (Jason La Canfora)

Packers

• Rookie TE Colt Lyerla had his salary reduced from $420,000 to $303,000 after being placed on injured reserve. Lyerla’s contract included a split salary, which explains the adjusted salary. (Rob Demovsky)

Rams

• MLB James Laurinaitis returned to practice on Thursday after missing the first two preseason games with an ankle injury. (Nick Wagoner)

Seahawks

• HC Pete Carroll confirmed that RB Marshawn Lynch will get some carries in Friday’s preseason game.
• Carroll also mentioned that LB Bobby Wagner, LB Bruce Irvin and WR Kevin Norwood could all be back in a week or two. (Bob Condotta)
• Carroll referred to RB Christine Michael as the “most-improved player on the team.” (Liz Mathews)
• Carroll told reporters on Thursday that DT Michael Brooks is undergoing knee surgery today and LB Horace Miller will be out a while with a knee sprain. (Bob Condotta)

Steelers

• The Steelers will reportedly allow the NFL to handle the discipline for RBs LeGarrette Blount and Le’Veon Bell. (Ed Bouchette)
• It’s unlikely that either LeGarrette Blount and Le’Veon Bell would be punished for a while. (Mike Garafolo)
