49ers
- Dianna Russini of The Athletic names Patriots DL Davon Godchaux and WR Kendrick Bourne as potential 49ers trade targets ahead of the deadline.
- Russini also mentions Colts DTs DeForest Buckner and Broncos DT D.J. Jones as candidates for a reunion in San Francisco but she doesn’t “get the sense Indy or Denver are open to moving either player.”
- Because QB Brock Purdy is due for an extension after the season, Russini believes the 49ers could “be tempted” to listen to offers for high-salaried veterans.
- Russini thinks WR Deebo Samuel is off the table but CB Charvarius Ward could generate interest with his expiring contract.
- Overall, Russini doesn’t expect San Francisco to sell at the deadline despite a rough start because of how close the division remains.
- 49ers CB Deommodore Lenoir and OT Trent Williams were both fined $11,817 for Unnecessary Roughness related to striking or kicking in Week 7.
Cardinals
Ahead of a matchup with his former team, Dolphins DE Calais Campbell opened up on previously thinking he would play in Arizona for his entire career.
“I did think that when I was in Arizona I was going to be there for my whole career,” Campbell said, via Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. “I was kind of shocked when the time came to go out to other places. But I think sometimes new beginnings are good for you.”

Seahawks
Seahawks defensive linemen Derick Hall and Jarran Reed patched things up after the two had a verbal argument on the sidelines following a roughing the passer penalty from Hall in Week 8.
“We told each other we love each other,” Hall said, via the team website. “There’s no bad blood. He loves the game. I love the game. In that moment things got heated. He’s a leader and he’s the leader of our group. When stuff hits the fan, you have to lean on all the guys and maybe we both could have done some things a bit better.”
Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald was more bothered by the penalty than he was the fight.
“Wasn’t a smart penalty,” Macdonald noted. “Just that’s not how we train our guys to attack quarterbacks, so wasn’t a smart move.”
