San Francisco 49ers DL Javon Kinlaw recently underwent a routine 'cleanup' procedure on his right knee - the same knee that caused him to miss the final two games of the 2020 season. Per a team spokesman, the injury is not related to the tendinitis Kinlaw dealt with in college, and he is expected to be a participant during the team's offseason program.

Free-agent LBs Tipa Galeai and De'Jon Harris, OG Zack Johnson, TE Isaac Nauta, DLs Willington Previlon and Anthony Rush, RBs Mike Weber and Dexter Williams, CB Stanford Samuels and P Ryan Winslow signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Green Bay Packers on Monday, Jan. 25.
Footballguys view: Weber and Williams are players to watch in super deep dynasty formats. Partly because of their skill but partly because the Packers running back room is going to look different in 2021. Both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason. |
