NFC Notes: 49ers, Rams, Seahawks

49ers

49ersโ€™ TE George Kittle said his sprained knee felt โ€œfantasticโ€ but HC Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that he was feeling soreness and it was unknown if he would be available for Week 2.

โ€œWeโ€™ll see how he comes in on Wednesday,โ€ Shanahan said, via Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com. โ€œHe was a little sore today. Weโ€™ll wait to see how he is on Wednesday to see if heโ€™ll be able to practice or go this week. We know there will be some question.โ€

  • Ian Rapoport reports that free agent DE Ezekiel Ansah left his visit with the 49ers without an agreement in place. Rapoport says Ansah plans to wait for the right opportunity.
  • ESPNโ€™s Jeremy Fowler thinks the 49ers could be proactive and try to extend LB Fred Warner this offseason as he enters the final year of his rookie deal, as heโ€™s established himself as a top-ten linebacker. 
  • Shanahan said WR Deebo Samuel was still feeling some soreness which has persisted and turned into a โ€œlittle bit of a setback.โ€ San Francisco placed Samuel on injured reserve on Saturday. (Nick Wagoner)
  • Shanahan also said that the goal is for Samuel to make his return during Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. (Matt Maiocco)
  • As for rookie WR Brandon Aiyuk, Shanahan said he would โ€œbe surprised if we donโ€™tโ€ when asked if the team would have him available for Week 2. (Matt Barrows)
  • Shanahan once again mentioned free agent WR Mohamed Sanu: โ€œHim being out there is always a possibility. I wouldnโ€™t rule that out at all.โ€ (Barrows)

Rams

  • The Rams had previously informed WR Robert Woods that they would look at contract options for him once WR Cooper Kuppโ€˜s contract was extended. Woods is signed through 2021 but has made it known that he wants to finish his career with the Rams. (Jourdan Rodrigue)

Seahawks

  • ESPNโ€™s 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. Heโ€™s seen by some coaches as a top-ten corner. 
  • Fowlers adds it wouldnโ€™t 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 isnโ€™t going down.
