Colts re-sign Marlon Mack to a one-year deal

The Packers have placed Kraft (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Kraft stated earlier this month he expects to be ready for Week 1, and that's certainly still possible. The Packers are still hoping to get back Kraft on the practice field during the earlier stages of camp, so stay tuned for updates. Kraft is ranked fourth among our TEs this season, and proved to be a great middle round value a year ago. He'll likely go off the board sooner than that this season, however, and his current ADP is the fifth round.

The Colts placed linebacker CJ Allen and wide receiver Alec Pierce on the active/physically unable to perform list.

Players on the list can return as soon as they pass a physical before the Aug. 30 roster cut-down. As the story went on to say, Pierce continues rehab after left ankle surgery in March. The surgery was needed to fix a problem he’s had since 2024 after a platelet-rich plasma treatment in January didn’t work as hoped. Pierce was expected to need 4-6 months post-surgery, which will keep him sidelined into training camp. Pierce, who re-signed with the Colts on a four-year, $114 million deal, set career highs with 47 receptions and 1,003 yards last season. He also had six touchdowns.

49ers rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling is making a positive early impression on a very important teammate.

“Dude is a baller, and I mean that,” Purdy said on KNBR, via 49ersWebzone.com. “It’s hard to say that for a rookie, right off the jump, but just seeing him run routes, going up against defenders in OTAs and then in camp yesterday. He’s a great route runner. He’s smart. He’s learned the playbook really quick, which is awesome. And then, on top of that, you can see his strength, too. When he’s going up against guys and creating separation, I’m like, ‘Alright, this guy’s a strong receiver.’ And so, I’m excited to see what he does, but all of us, all the quarterbacks in the room, were like, ‘Alright, this guy’s going to be a guy that’s going to come in and play.’”

As the story points out, Stribling joined the 49ers with the top pick of the second round and the selection drew some negative reviews because of who else was available at that point in the draft. Purdy seems impressed with the rookie but Stribling will have some spots to climb on the depth chart. However, Evans is coming off a year where he had hamstring issues and Kirk is already dealing with a calf sprain. So there certainly seems to be a path toward playing time for Stribling.
