To offset a surge of early injuries this season, San Francisco has added veterans like Brandin Cooks, Dante Pettis and Matthew Judon. Their biggest addition so far, however, already is on the team, as defensive lineman Mykel Williams' 21-day practice window officially opened Wednesday while the 49ers evaluate his return from the PUP list. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the 49ers will manage their roster in the short-term as players arrive to provide depth and return from injuries. Later, the duo provides context to the offensive line's historical start and how the unit has enabled Brock Purdy to open the season without a single sack.--(0:00) Reinforcements arrive at WR, DE to cover injuries(6:00) WR Dante Pettis returns to 49ers on practice squad(8:00) Mykel Williams' practice window officially opens(10:00) What will the roles of the players on IR be once they come back(13:00) How have the 49ers avoided a sack through three weeks Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Steelers analyst Chris Hoke joined the show. Hokie thinks the Steelers opened the door to Joey Porter Jr. faking a back injury by placing him on the PUP list and giving him that excuse. It's a very unfortunate situation that the deal ended so irritatingly. Hokie thinks a lot of people in Porter Jr.'s situation would do the same. He believes Asante Samuel Jr. will start but Daylen Everette will also play.

Bobby and Alex discuss Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander's twin flame careers and Scherzer's incredibly on-brand final game of 2026 (and maybe ever). Then, they briefly dig into Pablo Torre Finds Out's report about Life Surge — a potentially fraudulent Christian investment conference that has worked with pro athletes like Tim Tebow and David Ortiz. Finally, they react in real time to the MLB playoff bracket being set and make their World Series predictions.

Send us Fan MailThe NFL just killed the Pro Bowl, launched new suspension rules, and got dragged into one of the wildest off-field stories of the year. If you care about what is changing before Week 1, this one is packed with the headlines that actually matter.J and L break down why the Pro Bowl had to go, from the move away from Hawaii to the watered-down flag football format that tanked viewership. They also unpack the league's new discipline policy for dangerous hits, where repeated offenses like hip-drop tackles, horse-collar tackles, and blind-side blocks can now trigger automatic suspensions.You'll also hear the guys react to a chaotic stretch of injury and roster news, including Calvin Austin III's torn ACL, George Kittle's return from the PUP list, Mike Evans dealing with a groin injury, and Ashton Jeanty's ankle scare. They talk through what each update means for teams trying to get healthy before opening day.Then the conversation shifts into truly unexpected territory with the NFL's ruling on players returning to college, plus the bizarre case involving 49ers owner Jed York, who pleaded no contest after being caught up in a scandal that has the league investigating his next move.

The Detroit Lions enter Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints with an encouraging injury report. No player would have been sidelined on Wednesday's estimated practice, and only three defenders were limited, positioning the defense to hunt takeaways that decide games. As Jeff Risdon explained, that is Detroit's actionable edge. Is the Week 1 Detroit Lions injury report actually good news? Yes. The team listed only three limited defenders on the estimated Wednesday report and no one as out. Defensive back Christian Izien, groin, defensive tackle MacKay Wingo, groin, and edge rusher Dorsey Moore, hamstring, were limited. Because the Lions practiced Tuesday, Wednesday's report was an estimation built around the Sunday-Thursday short-week cadence. As Jeff Risdon noted, the hamstring for Dorsey Moore is something to watch, but the summer showed he is ready to contribute right away. Will Christian Izien and Thomas Harper stabilize the secondary vs the Saints? Yes, both are tracking as meaningful boosts. Head coach Dan Campbell previously said Christian Izien was not expected for Week 1, but a limited tag now, and a limited or full go Thursday, puts him in play as the starting slot and top reserve across the secondary. Defensive back Thomas Harper is ready to play a lot after an ankle issue late in camp, which matters with safety Kirby Joseph and defensive back Brian Branch on PUP. Jeff Risdon emphasized Harper played well down the stretch last year and being healthy should let Detroit keep its safety rotation intact. How should the Lions create the takeaways they need? By marrying disciplined front-four pressure with timely heat and an opportunistic back end. Wednesday's Seahawks-Patriots game showed the template: Sam Darnold left on the fifth play, Drew Lock managed the game, and Seattle mixed rushes to force mistakes as Drake Maye threw three interceptions. Dan Campbell is adamant Detroit does not “shoot gaps,” but when an assignment-created crease appears, defenders must attack on time. Last year's data backs the urgency. Before the Week 8 bye, the Lions produced multiple takeaways in four of the first seven games and won all four, sitting at five and two. After the bye they logged one takeaway against Minnesota, then just one more across the next four weeks, with the lone multi-takeaway outing coming in the Dallas win, 44 to 30. The six-turnover Minnesota game was an anomaly. This roster's upgraded front, featuring Aidan Hutchinson, Jack Campbell anchoring the middle, DJ Wonnum as an upgrade over Marcus Davenport, and instant juice from Dorsey Moore, is built to stress quarterbacks and feed ball-hawking opportunities. What did Wednesday's game say about QB depth and Detroit's plan if Jared Goff misses snaps? It reinforced that defense and one explosive play can carry a game when a backup enters. Jeff Risdon admitted he asked the same question fans did, if quarterback Jared Goff goes down, are the Lions ready for Josh Dobbs to play right away? The answer is that takeaways shorten the field and one shot can be enough when playmakers deliver. With wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit has that explosive punch. Add encouraging depth news, like cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. logging a full participation and linebacker Jimmy Rolder trending toward his NFL debut, and the formula for Sunday, then a quick-turn Thursday, is clear: defend on schedule, steal possessions, and let the stars finish drives. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #christianizien #thomasharper #dorseymoorehamstring #mackaywingogroin #aidanhutchinson #jackcampbellinthemiddle #djwonnumovermarcusdavenport #jaredgoffbackupplan #joshdobbsreadiness #amon-rast.brown Learn more about your ad choices.

Harrison Gordon returns to OurSpace to talk about the band's new sophomore album, Bliss, and everything that's changed since our first conversation two years ago. After the viral success surrounding The Yuppies Are Winning, Harrison Gordon had a choice: keep chasing TikTok and the algorithm or try to build the kind of band they grew up loving. They chose the latter. Harrison talks about consciously stepping away from being a “content band,” how touring with Free Throw helped transform their audience, and the strange transition from playing DIY house shows to performing in front of a thousand people a night. Then we dive deep into Bliss, a record Harrison describes as the band's “Pinkerton.” Written in a tiny windowless room in Milwaukee, the album deliberately embraces feedback, heavy guitars and imperfection while drawing inspiration from bands like PUP, Microwave and Born Without Bones. We also unpack the meaning behind songs including “Pretty,” “Like Me Less,” “Side of Blood,” “Scab” and “Bliss.” Bliss is out now.

It wasn't surprising to find there's no real canine inspiration behind the long time Toronto based punk band named Pup with a 2025 album called Who Will Look After The Dogs. But that doesn't mean Pup drummer Zack Mykula doesn't have some interesting personal dog experiences of his own. Zack joins the show to introduce us to his tripod dog Jack, who's a "potcake" or mixed breed dog from the Dominican Republic. We cover a number of topics including Jack's adoption story, how he brought out a nurturing side of Zack and one interpretation of what the band's name represents in a thoughtful and enlightening conversation. Pup will be playing an intimate Riot Fest Late Night gig at Metro on September 18th and Riot Fest on September 19th in Douglass Park, Chicago.

Jared and Matt wrap up the 2026 NFL and college football preview season by breaking down the AFC North, NFC North, and the SEC conference. Plus, it's time for the first Six-Pack of the year — six weekly college football picks against the spread.   We start in the AFC North, a division turned upside down this offseason. Three of the four teams enter with new head coaches — Jesse Minter in Baltimore after John Harbaugh's departure to the Giants, Mike McCarthy back home in Pittsburgh, and Todd Monken taking over in Cleveland after Kevin Stefanski left for Atlanta. On top of that, the Browns sent shockwaves through the league by trading superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett to the Rams. We break down how the division shakes out amid all the change.   From there we shift to the NFC North, where the Bears look to defend their surprise division title after a wild, comeback-fueled 11-6 season under first-year head coach Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. The Lions enter as the betting favorites once again after a disappointing fall from grace, while the Packers deal with uncertainty up front as star pass rusher Micah Parsons starts the year on the PUP list. We break down all four teams in what's shaping up to be one of the league's most competitive divisions.   We close out the football previews with the SEC. Georgia enters as the back-to-back defending conference champion behind quarterback Gunner Stockton, while Texas, Alabama, and a Lane Kiffin-led LSU squad round out the league's top tier of national title contenders.   Then it's time for our first Six-Pack of the season:

Munaf Manji talks weekend action in the sports betting world. Munaf Manji opens a new season of the weekend rewind show solo on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, laying out the plan for a full week of football content, this rewind episode on Mondays once Uncle Dave joins him, a college football pod, a Wednesday preview show, a Thursday prop show with Sleepy, and a Friday picks show built on the injury report. At 2:47 he closes the book on preseason betting trends, underdogs went 23 and 9 and 1 against the spread through the first two weeks, a 72 percent clip, with road dogs posting a 42 and 1 mark, numbers worth watching into Week One. The headline news arrives at 5:04, Aaron Donald is officially coming out of retirement to rejoin the Los Angeles Rams on a one year deal worth twenty million dollars, with playoff incentives pushing the total as high as thirty million. Donald joins a front that already added Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade with Cleveland, and Munaf breaks down how dominant that pairing could become, while expecting Donald's snap count to build gradually as he shakes off the rust. At 7:51 the Rams sit at five to one to win the Super Bowl on DraftKings with no other team shorter than ten to one, and Munaf cites a Yahoo Sports stat that teams which opened as favorites at plus 500 or better have gone zero for 20 all time, asking whether this roster could break that trend. At 9:08 he adds the Trent McDuffie trade from Kansas City and a look at how a stronger defense could shift Los Angeles toward lower scoring games built around Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams. At 11:41 the show turns to a more serious story, Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List ahead of a court appearance on November 17, with Munaf estimating a possible suspension in the four to six game range. At 12:48 he connects that news to the Packers trading for running back Kaleb Johnson from the Steelers, a move he reads as Green Bay preparing for time without Jacobs and potentially leaning more on Jordan Love. From 14:20 onward, the show becomes a rapid tour of final roster cuts, Trevon Diggs released by Seattle but likely practice squad bound, Anthony Richardson and J.J. McCarthy surviving their initial rosters, and Titans wide receiver Xavier Restrepo earning a fantasy shoutout behind Calvin Ridley and rookie Carnell Tate. At 16:07 the Giants keep Darius Slayton and Odell Beckham Jr. while moving on from Jalin Hyatt, with Beckham's comments about bringing a championship back to New York getting a mention. At 16:53 Cleveland's quarterback carousel takes center stage, Dillon Gabriel making the roster, Deshaun Watson holding the starting job, Shedeur Sanders waiting in the wings, and Taylen Green turning heads late. At 17:53 he runs through players opening the year on injured reserve or the PUP list, Micah Parsons, James Conner, Isaac Guerendo, and Kerby Joseph among them, along with the release of Titans quarterback Will Levis. At 19:59, Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III has been cleared by head coach Ben Johnson and is expected ready for Week One despite a groin injury. After a mention of his appearance on RJ Bell's Dream Preview podcast at 21:31, Munaf lands on his best bet of the show. At 23:02 he builds the pick around a quote from Ben Johnson, who said this offseason he wants Chicago to be the highest scoring offense in NFL history, a comment Munaf says grabbed his attention given what Johnson built previously with Jared Goff in Detroit. At 24:20 he lands on Caleb Williams' season long passing yards prop, the number sitting at 3,649.5 on DraftKings but a better line at 3,600.5 on BetMGM. Williams threw for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in year one under Johnson while playing all 17 games in each of his first two seasons, and Munaf likes him to clear the number in a more explosive year two offense. The episode closes with a look ahead to next week, when Uncle Dave joins Munaf for the first full regular season show, previewing the opener including the Super Bowl rematch and the international matchup between the 49ers and Rams in Australia, ahead of the Friday picks show heading into Week One.

The Steelers activated Joey Porter Jr. off the PUP list. Rick in Pittsburgh doesn't think the Steelers should sign him to a big deal. There is still time to sign a contract and Joe thinks Porter Jr. has more leverage with DeShon Elliott being placed on IR for the first part of the season. Who has more leverage?? It seems that it's increasing for Porter.

The Panthers are down to 53, and this one didn't go quietly. On this episode of Two Growls One Roar, we're breaking down every move Carolina made across the two-day cutdown — from Saturday's first wave all the way through Sunday night's final trim to the regular season roster limit.Before we even get into who made the team, we slow down and explain the mechanics that actually govern this week in the NFL, because half the confusion fans have on cutdown day comes from not knowing the rules. We walk through the real difference between a player being waived versus released — it comes down to accrued seasons, and it's why guys like Kyle Trask and David Moore hit free agency immediately while Trevin Wallace and Ja'seem Reed had to clear waivers first. From there we get into how the 16-man practice squad actually works, including the rule that lets teams carry up to six true veterans with no cap on their NFL experience. And we close the rules segment with the gameday elevation rule — the one that trips people up the most — where a practice squad player can be activated for a game up to three times per season without ever touching the 53, but a fourth activation means he has to be signed outright.Once the ground rules are set, we get into the actual football. Carolina swung a deadline-day trade, sending a 2028 sixth-round pick to the Chargers for defensive tackle TeRah Edwards, which tells you everything about how thin that D-line got once Tershawn Wharton landed on reserve/PUP. We go position by position through the full 53 — quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, and a very well-stocked offensive line on offense; defensive line, outside linebacker, linebacker, cornerback, and safety on defense; plus the specialists rounding things out.We spend extra time on the two calls that generated the most buzz: Trevin Wallace getting waived at linebacker with Bobby Okereke's addition squeezing the room, and John Metchie III beating out veteran David Moore at receiver, largely on the strength of his chemistry with Bryce Young from their Alabama days. We also talk through why keeping both tackles' insurance policies — Rasheed Walker and rookie Monroe Freeling — matters so much with Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton both starting the year on reserve lists, and who's actually in the mix to handle return duties with Trevor Etienne opening the season on IR.Then we run the full transaction log in order — every waive, every release, every reserve list move from both cutdown days — so you've got the complete paper trail in one place.If you're trying to actually understand this roster heading into Week 1, not just see a list of names, this is the episode. Subscribe for more Panthers, Hornets, and Gamecocks coverage all season long, and drop your own 53-man predictions in the comments — let's see who called it.

Ashton Jeanty went down in practice, and while it looks better than the initial fear, he is nowhere near the only problem on draft boards right now.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through twelve of the most heavily drafted players currently dealing with injuries and rate exactly how panicked they are about each one, on a scale of 1 to 10.Jeanty's sprained ankle and the question of whether Mike Washington has become a must-draft handcuff. Mike Evans leaving practice early with a quad. Tucker Kraft's ACL recovery and a possible first-half snap count. Jordyn Tyson looking at two months with a hamstring. Emeka Egbuka's toe and a Week 1 availability question. Alec Pierce still on PUP with no timeline. Luther Burden missing all of preseason with a groin. And the ripple effect of Jayden Higgins' torn ACL sending Kayshon Boutte to Houston.Then they flip the scale. Four players have gotten genuinely encouraging news, and the question becomes how optimistic you should actually be: George Kittle activated from PUP, Christian McCaffrey back at practice after sitting out with tightness, Patrick Mahomes calling himself extremely confident for Week 1, and Malik Nabers possibly shedding the red non-contact jersey this week.Some of these are worth moving down your board today. Some are noise that other people in your league will overreact to, which is where the value is. Every player gets a number, and Fantasy Life projections for the situations where the backup suddenly matters.
