The Ravens announced today that offensive lineman Ben Cleveland was slapped with a three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Substances of Abuse Policy. While it’s uncertain if it’s related, Cleveland was arrested this past offseason on DUI chargers (per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic). The veteran has appeared in 10 games this season, with the majority of his reps coming on special teams.
The 49ers got some good news today, as seventh-round QB Kurtis Rourke had his practice window opened. The Indiana product continues to recover from offseason surgery on his torn ACL. While the 49ers realistically have 21 days to activate the quarterback to their active roster, Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group says the rookie is still expected to be redshirted for the 2025 campaign.
I don’t think the Bears waned to lose Carl Jones. They had to release him because they activated him 3 times and probably wanted to re sign him. So nice P/U by the Ravens. He’s solid B/U and ST player.
What were your thoughts on the Bears-Packers game? I didnt get to see it.
Well the Bears didn’t show up until the second half. But then made their usual adjustments and won the second half and almost tied the game. They had 4th and 1 from deep in the Packers zone And Williams could have run for the first down I think but decided to throw that pass and left it way short. It could have went to overtime. All in All it was entertaining. Jaylon Johnson wasn’t moving very well and Gordon hurt himself in the pre game and then Wright got kicked in the head late. So hopefully the injury report isn’t bad. Pretty much what I expected.
