If he doesn't practice today it doesn't automatically mean he's out. I'd expect that for rookies but vets have more room for error.

A part of me would rather see Bosa know who he's actually going against and prep for that guy. He's gotten jerked around a bit vs Detroit thinking it was Decker the whole time and I'm sure he prepped for Jenkins.

No sacks if the Refs don't call holding because that guy is going to hold for dear life

Yeah, it's really getting irritating to see the refs not calling so many of those holding calls. And it's not just against Bosa.

In that case, GB would have a new LT (their third option) and a new RT (presumably Dennis Kelly) vs SF

Any update on Sermon? Someone dropped Sermon in my league and I was able to pick him up for my bench. Hoping he becomes at least a RB2 though in a couple weeks if not sooner.

Ten tweets that describe what went on right before the draft when there were hints that ARodgers wanted out of GB, suggesting that there is bad blood between Matt LaFluer and Kyle. How Mike Silver knows this, who knows.

THREAD 1) On Wednesday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said he holds no ill will toward 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, his longtime colleague & friend, in the wake of the Niners' offseason pursuit of Aaron Rodgers. Shanahan also downplayed any tension. The two teams play Sunday night...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

2) But the Rodgers situation caused a lot of drama between LaFleur, Shanahan and their mutual friends and coaching colleagues last spring, and one story in particular--which took place on the first night of the draft--underscores that strain...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

3) Minutes before the start of the 2021 draft, 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel was having a FaceTime conversation in his office with two former SF assistants: Jets HC Robert Saleh & Jets OC Mike LaFleur (Matt's younger brother), who were together in Florham Park, NJ...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

4) McDaniel's office door was open, and some other Niners coaches walked into the room. Playful banter was exchanged by both sides. Then Shanahan entered McDaniel's office and joined the conversation.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

5) A couple of hours earlier, the NFL world had been rocked by reports of Aaron Rodgers' desire to leave Green Bay--and a report that the 49ers had called the Packers (Shanahan, to LaFleur) to inquire about a trade. Now the Niners were getting ready to pick a QB third overall...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

6) The Jets, with the No. 2 pick, were expected to take BYU QB Zach Wilson. Shanahan joked to Saleh and (Mike) LaFleur: "I hope you guys don't take a different QB and cross us up. We haven't looked hard enough at Wilson."...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

7) "What do you mean? You've already got your quarterback," Mike LaFleur replied to Shanahan. "Aaron Rodgers." Shanahan tried to brush it off as a joke, saying, "Hey, tell your brother to call me back. He hasn't returned my calls." LaFleur's response: "Can you blame him?"...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

8) At that point, according to several people familiar with the call, Shanahan got visibly upset and hastily left the room. In his eyes, he had merely done due diligence on behalf of his franchise. But it was clear to all that Matt LaFleur viewed it differently...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

9) The fact that Rodgers and Niners GM John Lynch share an agent, David Dunn, contributed to the perception that there had been a coordinated effort to get Rodgers from the Packers to the Niners. And to Mike LaFleur, blood is clearly thicker than water...
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) September 23, 2021

10) As Sunday night's game approaches, it's heartening that Matt LaFleur and Shanahan are publicly downplaying any tension. They're both accomplished coaches and have a lot of history, & the NFL is a stressful business. And Rodgers, for now, remains property of the Packers. (END)

Sounds like Sermon was cleared and Mitchell MAY be able to go.

Armstead should be good as well. Cross your fingers everyone.

It doesn't seem like anything new. The fact that John Lynch shares an agent with Rodgers and that John Lynch admitted to talking to his agent about whether Rodgers would want to come here makes the whole thing seem pretty shady, so I don't blame Matt Lafleur for being a bit peeved.

As 49ers get good health news, Packers share bad news: Elgton Jenkins is doubtful with an ankle injury.

If he doesn't play, Green Bay will be on its third option at left tackle against Nick Bosa and Co. — even their first option (David Bakhtiari, on PUP) didn't fare well in '19

This is a non story...this is the NFL. If Lafleur is upset about Shanahan looking to improve his team then he should find employment elsewhere.

He should be pissed at his GM for drafting Jordan Love and creating all the BS. You think Rodgers is pushing his way out of town if they used that 2020 first round pick on a WR or another spot on the team which could help Rodgers win more games?
