NFLPA president Jalen Reeves-Maybin gets a tryout with the 49ers

Details
18 October 2025

The Lions cut linebacker and NFLPA president Jalen Reeves-Maybin in March. He has since not landed with another team.

He received a recent opportunity with the 49ers, along with four other linebackers.

It makes sense; the 49ers placed Fred Warner on injured reserve on Saturday, due to the dislocated and fractured ankle he suffered last Sunday in Tampa.

The others who received workouts were Kam Arnold, Stone Blanton, Ben Niemann, and Chandler Wooten.

Reeves-Maybin was not signed. His lingering unemployment of Reeves-Maybin could become a problem in March 2026, when it's time to elect a new union president.

Josh Jacobs is a "true game-time decision"

Details
18 October 2025

Packers running back Josh Jacobs is having another strong year. Whether it continues on Sunday at Arizona remains to be seen.

Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports that Jacobs is a "true game-time decision" with a calf injury and an illness. (What's the difference between "true game-time decision" and "game-time decision"?)

Regardless, the Packers don't expect to know whether Jacobs will be able to play until Sunday.

Via NBC Sports research, Jacobs can become the fifth player in NFL history with three straight games of 150 or more yards from scrimmage and two rushing touchdowns, if he plays.

The others are LaDainian Tomlinson (who did it four straight times in 2006), Chris Johnson (2009), Ricky Williams (2002), and Jim Brown (1962-63).

First, Jacobs has to be able to play. For now, that's apparently up in the air.

Truly.

Caleb Williams is on pace to become the Bears' first 4,000-yard passer

Details
18 October 2025

The Bears haven't had a true franchise quarterback since Sid Luckman. They possibly have one in Caleb Williams.

Through five games, Williams has 1,179 receiving yards. That's 235.8 per game. Multiplied that by 17 (carry the one), that projects to 4,008 yards.

If Williams gets there, he'll be the first quarterback in Bears franchise history to throw for 4,000 or more yards in a season.

The current single-season leader for Chicago isn't Jay Cutler but Erik Kramer. In 1995, Kramer threw for 3,838 yards.

The Bears are the only team to never have a 4,000-yard passer. It has happened 233 times in NFL history. The first player to do it was Joe Namath, who threw for 4,007 yards with the Jets in 1967.
