NFC Notes: Cardinals, 49ers, Rams, Seahawks

49ers

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said he hasnโ€™t planned out when first-round QB Trey Lance will get work with the first team.

โ€œI donโ€™t know. I havenโ€™t really defined that for myself either,โ€ Shanahan said, via NFL.com. โ€œJust when I think it feels right, when he seems ready, when I think the team seems ready. I mean, weโ€™ll continue to mix him in there. But I donโ€™t plan on just doing that completely. But Trey, what he showed in that game is, you know, I wish I could have left them there longer. I know he enjoys playing and heโ€™s only been able to play one game in over a year, but I think it was good for him to get out. I think he started out good, got a little excited sometimes which he does. And you get a little excited, some of your technique and stuff you lose which will be fun to watch with him. Treyโ€™s a guy whoโ€™s tough on himself and loves to correct things and since weโ€™ve had him heโ€™s been very good at correcting mistakes.โ€

  • Eric Branch reports 49ers LT Trent Williams didnโ€™t practice on Tuesday with knee swelling.
  • Shanahan says second-year DT Javon Kinlaw is dealing with a โ€œshoulder issueโ€ and is โ€œweek-to-weekโ€ moving forward. Kinlaw was seen working off to the side during practice. (Nick Wagoner)
  • Shanahan notes every spot on the wide receiver depth chart is wide open. โ€œI mean we donโ€™t have 1,2,3 or 4 settledโ€ (Matt Barrows)
  • Shanahan said second-round G Aaron Banks will miss a few weeks with a shoulder injury. (Wagoner)
  • 49ers undrafted WR Austin Watkins Jr. will also be out for up to two months with a broken foot. (Wagoner)

Cardinals

Cardinals fourth-round CB Marco Wilsonโ€˜s first taste of NFL game action was, by and large, a success, finishing with four tackles and a pair of pass breakups in coverage.

โ€œI felt good. I felt natural out there,โ€ Wilson said, via AZCentral.com. โ€œJust having fun playing football, living my dream playing NFL football, so it felt great. I want to make sure moving forward that I can just be consistent.โ€

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury was ultimately pleased with Wilson while noting that the rookie does have areas of his game that he can clean up.

โ€œMarco had some flash plays, had some plays Iโ€™d like to have back,โ€  Kingsbury said of Wilsonโ€™s first preseason game. โ€œI thought some of the additions we made through the draft and free agency late were big, and itโ€™s been good competition. โ€œTheyโ€™re all learning the system. Having (CB) Robert Alford back and healthy has been a real big boost to that room, having a veteran presence like that.โ€

Rams

  • Rams OLB Leonard Floyd was seen leaving the field today but walking under his own power. The Athleticโ€™s Jourdan Rodrigue reports that she had seen Floyd have his ankle re-taped earlier in practice.
  • Second-round WR Tutu Atwellโ€˜s back flared up on Monday which caused him to miss practice. (Lindsey Thiry)
  • According to their Twitter account, Rams seventh-round WR Ben Skowronek sustained a fractured forearm and will undergo surgery on Monday.

Seahawks

  • NFL Mediaโ€™s Mike Garafolo reported the Seahawks and S Jamal Adams were still talking to one another. Garafolo mentions Adamsโ€™ agents were on hand for the teamโ€™s preseason game last week and met with the front office. 
  • The two sides ultimately got a deal done on Tuesday for four years, $70 million and $38 million guaranteed. There are also incentives to the deal that can make it worth $72 million total for a max value of $18 million per year. (Garafolo)
  • Of that $38 million in guarantees, $20 million comes in the form of a signing bonus. (Brady Henderson)
