It was a busy off-field day for the NFC West, with major defensive stars inching toward returns and depth moves across the board, even though none of the four teams took the field yesterday.
San Francisco 49ers: optimism building around Nick Bosa
Still perfect at 6-0 atop the division, the 49ers may soon get their defensive centerpiece back. Pro Football Rumors, citing Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, reports there is a “high level of optimism” that Nick Bosa will be able to return after San Francisco’s bye week, potentially in Week 9 against the Raiders. Bosa has been sidelined since suffering a calf injury in Week 2.
The 49ers also tweaked their practice squad. According to Pro Football Rumors, they signed defensive tackle Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and released fellow defensive tackle Kevin Givens, shuffling their interior depth.
In addition, CBS Sports notes that the NFL has issued two fines to linebacker Fred Warner for a hit on Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo. Warner was initially flagged on the play before officials picked up the penalty.
Los Angeles Rams: Myles Garrett nearing practice
At 2-4, the Rams are hoping for a major boost to their pass rush. Pro Football Rumors relays NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport in reporting that All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett is likely to return to practice next week. Garrett landed on injured reserve in mid-September after undergoing knee surgery, and head coach Sean McVay confirmed that outlook, according to the same report.
Seattle Seahawks: Bradford activated, spotlight on trades
Sitting at 3-3, the Seahawks made a key move in the trenches. Pro Football Rumors reports that guard Anthony Bradford, who had not played since Week 1 due to hip and knee issues, was activated from injured reserve on Saturday.
Seattle also features prominently in two CBS Sports pieces. A viewing guide for Seahawks–Chiefs lays out how to watch the matchup and notes that Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III will be making his return to Seattle. Another CBS article revisits Seattle’s trades for Leonard Williams and Ernest Jones IV, describing how the duo powered the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run and fit into head coach Mike Macdonald’s defensive overhaul.
Arizona Cardinals: depth moves and upset talk
At 2-4 and at the bottom of the division, the Cardinals stayed active on the margins. As part of a roundup of minor NFL transactions, Pro Football Rumors reports that Arizona signed running back Evan Hull from the practice squad, elevated guard Kingsley Eguakun and defensive tackle Jared Harrison-Hunte for game day, and waived safety Wydett Williams Jr.
On the betting front, CBS Sports’ Week 7 “last-minute best bets” piece points to Arizona as a potential upset pick over the Denver Broncos, suggesting the Cardinals could spring a surprise as they look to spark their season.
