One of the storylines coming into the 49ers before their game against the Detroit Lions Sunday was some talk from general manager John Lynch about the team looking into Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon. The Browns announced they would release Gordon on Monday barring any potential offers for a trade. Gordon is not subject to waivers Youth Weston Richburg Jersey , so once released he is free to sign with any team. 8-10 teams have called the Browns about Gordon, ESPN’s Josina Anderson reported on Monday morning. She said some of the team were adamant about not wanting it know their organization is calling, but the 49ers are not one of those teams remaining quiet about it. General manager John Lynch told the 49ers beat writers on Sunday that the team was doing their due diligence on Gordon, but not much was said beyond that. Following the 49ers win over the Lions, Kyle Shanahan was also asked about getting Gordon and had this to say:Josh Gordon brings talent, but he also brings some headaches given his suspension history. The other issue beyond the off-field issues is how it could hurt the development of the younger wide receivers. Rookies Richie James and Dante Pettis are both donning uniforms now that Marquise Goodwin is injured and the addition of Gordon hurts their future development. There are only so many mouths to feed with the wide receiver group. There’s no denying that Gordon is a great wide receiver when healthy and his head is clean, but burning a roster spot for him is a huge risk (as seen with the Browns) at the cost of draftees’ future. Would you want Gordon on the roster?Golden Nuggets: Injury Report Review Good morning folks, and a happy Thursday to you. Tonight’s game should be a solid watch, as two of the most talented teams in the league face off in what may be an NFC Championship Game Preview. The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings are both teams that boast extremely talented defenses, fruitful passing games, and potent running games. Although the Kirk Cousins and the Vikings had a stunningly poor effort against a bottom-feeding Buffalo Bills team last week, he’ll (they’ll) go a long way to restore trust in their team by beating Goff and the Rams tonight.In 49ers news, the injury report is out for the week and, well Cheap Fred Warner Jersey , the team has really outdone itself. Jimmy Garoppolo has been officially moved to the IR, and practice squad QB Nick Mullens has been activated as the backup to former-backup-turned-starter-turned-backup-turned-starter-again CJ Beathard. Offensively, the team is dealing with a hyperextended knee with Matt Breida, limiting his participation in practices, as well as a lingering knee issue for guard Mike Person and a toe injury for guard Joshua Garnett, which kept both out of practice on Wednesday. Marquise Goodwin was also limited, as he recovers from a quad injury sustained in week 2.Defensively, the entire secondary is injured. I kid you not, they’re all on the injury report. Ahkello Witherspoon, the healthiest of the group, reported full participation, but is listed with ankle and hip issues. I’m hoping this gets some attention in upcoming press conferences - if he’s playing through pain, I wonder if it’s an indictment of rookie Tarvarius Moore. Either way, safeties Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt both missed practice Youth Brock Coyle Jersey , with hip and shoulder issues respectively. Richard Sherman is expected to be out for several weeks with a calf injury. I mean, the ENTIRE SECONDARY is listed as banged up.
