St. Louis Rams WR Stedman Bailey is in stable condition at a South Florida hospital after reportedly being shot in the head late Tuesday. He is scheduled for surgery on Wednesday.

Bailey is currently serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

In the end, it may come down to what the San Francisco 49ers — or any other interested NFL team — can offer the Houston Texans for quarterback Deshaun Watson.

"I think Kinlaw is going to be a dominant force in this league," John Lynch told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic on The TK Show podcast. "I should say, 'is going to become,' because he's not there yet. He's shown flashes."
Lynch knows a thing or two about impressive defensive-line play. He played behind a Hall of Famer in Warren Sapp. In fact, watching his former teammate cause

Aiyuk has just scratched the surface. That has 49ers general manager John Lynch excited. The young receiver would have benefited more from a normal offseason leading into his rookie year. That didn't happen, and it may have contributed to a slower start.
"Brandon Aiyuk, he's everything we thought he would be, and a little bit more,"
