49ers place linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong on IR

Sep 20, 2016 at 12:00 PM--


The 49ers placed inside linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong on injured reserve with a pectoral injury he sustained in a 46-27 loss at Carolina on Sunday. In two games, he had eight tackles, two pass breakups, one tackle for a loss, an interception and a fumble recovery in 69 snaps. Hodges has 12 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in 75 snaps. "It sucks, but I've said all along that we're going to need Wilhoite, we're going to need Gerald to win football games," defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil said. Armstrong, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2013, had appeared to have found a home with the 49ers, who claimed him off waivers from the Raiders in November. Rookie guard Joshua Garnett, the No. 28 overall pick, hasn't played an offensive snap in the first two games. "The main thing for him is just to get him reps and get him more and more comfortable with the speed of the game in the NFL," offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said. Right tackle Anthony Davis (concussion) was riding a stationary bike in the weight room during practice.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk

By David Bonilla

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture. Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft. Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his

Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week. "Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote. Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
