NFL Notes: Draft, 49ers, Cowboys, Dolphins & Eagles

Draft

• JJ Stankevitz reports that four Notre Dame players have requested an evaluation from the NFL Draft Advisory Board including QB DeShone Kizer, G Quenton Nelson, OT Mike McGlinchey and LB Nyles Morgan.

49ers

49ers GM Trent Baalke mentioned in an interview over the weekend that the team’s struggles this season fall squarely on his shoulders.

“You know, they give us everything we need and I’ve said that. I’ve gone public with that. If we don’t get it done, put it on me,” Baalke said, via KNBR.com. “We’ve got all the resources necessary. Funding has never been an issue at the free agent market, or any other thing that we’ve needed. So, it falls strictly on my shoulders. I’m disappointed, I’m disappointed with the outcome up until now.”

Baalke added that it’s hard to stay positive through a disappointing season.

“I don’t know if you do keep yourself up, or positive,” Baalke said. “I think you are drained. It’s a draining experience. I feel bad for the fans, I feel bad for a lot of people, the ownership in particular.”

Cowboys

• Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that he thinks S Barry Church can play in Thursday’s game and he “absolutely” expects CB Morris Claiborne to be back at some point during the regular season. (David Helman)

Dolphins

Dolphins TE Jordan Cameron was asked Monday about his future in the NFL after he suffered a season-ending concussion earlier in the year.

“That’s up in the air right now,” Cameron said, via the Palm Beach Post.

Eagles

Eagles G Brandon Brooks announced via his Twitter account Tuesday that he’s being released from the hospital after he came down with an undisclosed illness that forced him to miss Monday’s game.
