Packers acquire Kaleb Johnson from Steelers

49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) is expected to practice this week and has a “legitimate” chance of playing in Week 1 against the Rams in Australia.

Kittle has not had any setbacks in his recovery from his injured Achilles and was activated from the physically unable to perform list last Sunday. Worst case scenario looks to be the team keeping Kittle home to avoid the long travel to Melbourne and he makes his return in Week 2. How he practices this week will be worth monitoring and will determine whether he actually travels and plays with the team. If he travels, there’s a good chance he suits up on September 10 (September 11 in Australia). The 49ers are planning to leave a week ahead of the game, so we’ll have a better idea of Kittle’s status later this week.

Colts WR Keenan Allen was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with driving while intoxicated and DWI endangering a person, both misdemeanors.

Allen was arrested around 1 a.m. ET Sunday morning in downtown Indianapolis. The story is still developing. Allen signed a one-year deal with the Colts earlier this month in what will be his 14th NFL season (12 with the Chargers, one with the Bears). He played in Saturday’s preseason game against the Lions, catching one pass for 24 yards.

The Raiders will name Kirk Cousins as their Week 1 starting quarterback against the Dolphins.

All signs pointed toward this decision. While head coach Klint Kubiak was mum at times in recent weeks about the competition, his comments after the Raiders’ final preseason game saying Fernando Mendoza needed “three more preseason games” all but confirmed Cousins would start the season at quarterback. Still, it’s very likely Mendoza will see the field at some point this season and could eventually be an option on the waiver wire during the season.
