NFC Notes: Cardinals, 49ers, Seahawks

Cardinals

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray was terrific again on Sunday, adding 67 more rushing yards and two scores on the ground. Heโ€™s the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to have over 150 yards and three touchdowns on the ground over the first two weeks of a season.

โ€œIโ€™ve watched that since he was 15 years old,โ€ Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said via ESPNโ€™s Josh Weinfuss. โ€œHe is one of the most dangerous people probably in the league when heโ€™s in the open field like that, and he is as elusive as anybody, and thatโ€™s a weapon. Heโ€™s just got to be able to protect himself, which he does a good job of.โ€

49ers

  • NFL Mediaโ€™s Ian Rapoport says 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a high ankle sprain and will miss at least one game, possibly more. 
  • Rapoport adds both DE Nick Bosa and DL Solomon Thomas are believed to have torn their ACLs and will be out for the rest of the season. 
  • 49ers RB Raheem Mostert is believed to have suffered a mild MCL sprain fortunately and the 49ers hope he wonโ€™t miss many games, per Rapoport.
  • 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed Mostert will likely not play in Week 3 against the Giants. (Eric Branch)
  • However, Shanahan didnโ€™t rule out Garoppolo for Week 3, saying he โ€œstill has a chanceโ€ and the ankle injury wasnโ€™t as bad as they thought: โ€œWeโ€™ll see how that goes this week.โ€ (Cam Inman)
  • Shanahan noted DE Dee Ford has more of a back injury after being initially ruled out with neck spasms in Week 2. (Inman)
  • San Franciscoโ€™s one-year deal with DE Ezekiel Ansah is worth $3 million. (Rapoport)
  • 49ers TE Jordan Reed, who caught two touchdowns in Week 2, said he decided not to retire despite several concussions when he saw the 49ersโ€™ Super Bowl run. (Pro Football Talk)

Seahawks

  • According to NFL Mediaโ€™s Tom Pelissero, Seahawks S Quandre Diggs wonโ€™t face a suspension for the hit that resulted in his ejection on Sunday night. He is potentially facing a fine, though. 
  • Per John Boyle of the team website, Seahawks HC Pete Carroll confirmed S Marquise Blairโ€˜s knee injury was โ€œprobably fairly seriousโ€ and the 2019 second-round pick would miss a ton of time: โ€œThis guyโ€™s just getting started, just getting going with us.โ€
