49ers

• RB Frank Gore will earn a $750,000 roster bonus this Sunday by being active for his 13th game of the season. (Field Yates)

Cardinals

• HC Bruce Arians announced Friday that RB Stepfan Taylor will get the start against the Chiefs this weekend. (Mike Jurecki)
• Arians mentioned that WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee) will be a “game-time decision” as he’s “still not 100 percent.” (Darren Urban)

Giants

Albert Breer of NFL Media reports that the Giants’ head coaching position “has long been seen as the Rolls-Royce of all football coaching jobs.”

In the event that New York parts ways with HC Tom Coughlin, Breer mentions that the Giants coaching search could have a large impact on the other available coaching jobs.
