49ers
49ersโ TE George Kittle said his sprained knee felt โfantasticโ but HC Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that he was feeling soreness and it was unknown if he would be available for Week 2.
โWeโll see how he comes in on Wednesday,โ Shanahan said, via Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com. โHe was a little sore today. Weโll wait to see how he is on Wednesday to see if heโll be able to practice or go this week. We know there will be some question.โ

Rams

Seahawks
- ESPNโs Jeremy Fowler writes the Seahawks are expected to make every effort to re-sign CB Shaquill Griffin before he can hit free agency next offseason. Heโs seen by some coaches as a top-ten corner.
- Fowlers adds it wouldnโt be surprising to see the Seahawks go ahead and work out an extension for S Jamal Adams sometime in the next few months as his price isnโt going down.
