Team news: Arizona Cardinals | Page 5

Kendrick Bourne is returning home to the San Francisco 49ers on a 1 year deal with a max value of $5 million dollars.

Pearsall had a 4-108-0 line but after that it was Christian McCaffrey catching nine passes. Jennings and Kittle both left the game with injuries, leaving their status for Week 2 in doubt. The Niners need the help at WR but it remains to be seen of Bourne is the answer. Bourne does have a history in San Francisco with Kyle Shanahan so he's a name to keep an eye on.

Last season, the Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. linked up 62 times on 114 targets for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. Boosting those numbers could determine Arizona's offensive fate this season.

Thus far, Harrison said he can see the improved connection he and Murray have had this training camp.

"So, I definitely like where we're at," Harrison said. "We just got to go out there and put it on the field."

Those numbers were far behind many QB-WR combos the story pointed out. But the author noted through camp, the preseason and a joint practice with the Denver Broncos, the Murray-Harrison connection appears to have improved. The story went on to say In the first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, their only preseason action together, Murray hit Harrison on a 15-yard pass with Harrison coming out of the slot. Murray threw the pass on a straight arrow in front of him and Harrison ran to the pass, which was thrown between three Chiefs defenders. The story also pointed out that Harrison said the duo put in a lot of work this offseason.

RB Isaac Guerendo returned to practice and had an active day. So as Patrick Taylor and Corey Kiner exit due to injuries, Guerendo comes back.

It's always news when a potential CMC handcuff is back on the field. Guerendo missed time with a shoulder injury and the rookie James is still out, so Guerendo could secure his RB2 role behind McCaffrey, who has looked good and close to his 2023 form so far in camp, according to reports. Still, those owning CMC likely want to have protection - just in case. Guerendo proved he can do the job last season.

49ers rookie RB Jordan James broke his finger and is getting surgery. Will be out "a couple weeks", Shanahan said

Guerendo is already sidelined with a shoulder injury so things are pretty thin in the RB room right now. If CMC wasn't already slated for a giant workload, that looks just about locked in at this point. He's an easy first-round click.

Darren Waller has yet to practice for the Dolphins and it's a "tricky" situation, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Wednesday was the Fins' final home practice before embarking for the Midwest, as Miami will have a joint practice with the Bears ahead of the teams' preseason opener on Sunday. Thereafter, it's on to Detroit, where more joint practicing awaits before a preseason Week 2 matchup with the Lions

Fantasy drafters are also in a "tricky" situation, as Waller was quite literally done playing football a couple months ago before his un-retirement. He'd probably be a pretty easy stay-away if it weren't for Jonnu Smith's monster TE4 performance in Miami one short year ago. Even with the fantastic opportunity, Waller is best viewed as a streaming option in 2025.

WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (knee) is absent for a second straight Cardinals practice.

Related Players: Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, Greg Dortch, Zay Jones

This pass-catching group is incredibly thin behind Harrison and McBride, so either of them missing time wouldn't look great for Kyler Murray. No reason to panic yet but we'll keep an eye on the sophomore WR throughout training camp.

Giants HC Brian Daboll says WR Malik Nabers, who injured his shoulder this week, is “good” and will practice today.

Great sign for a potential first-round selection in fantasy. The pass-catching corps is still light in New York, so he should continue to demand a massive target share in Year 2.

Malik Nabers banged up on a run play. On the ground for a few seconds. Grabbed at his shoulder as he walked off.

Nabers went into the field house with the Giants head trainer. Ronnie Barnes then came outside and gave HC Brian Daboll an update.

Nabers did not return to practice. He appears done for the day.

We haven't seen any follow-up reports quite yet, but it doesn't seem to be too grave an issue. We'll keep an eye on his status throughout the rest of the week.

Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III is present for practice and in full pads.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus, Tyler Scott, Devin Duvernay

Burden's got some time here to rev up to full speed, which makes this wide receiver room incredibly interesting. The rookie has been absent due to a hamstring issue, and now has the opportunity to push the veteran Zaccheaus for a role in 3WR sets. Burden is deep down our current WR rankings, but could begin the slow climb the more he gets integrated into the offense.

Brian Burns will practice today. Jalin Hyatt will increase his workload. Wan’Dale Robinson won’t practice, but nothing serious per Brian Daboll. Took a knee to the thigh yesterday.

Related Players: Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Theo Johnson

This doesn't seem to be the first time Robinson has had an injury issue during camp, so we'll see how the depth chart shakes out around him. That, combined with a torn Achilles for Bryce Ford-Wheaton could see the team add some depth (beat writers speculating Gabe Davis, who visited in May), but it could also mean someone like Theo Johnson gets extra work in the short game.
