met with the media on Thursday https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Bradley-Pinion-Jersey , and he offered some stunning and entirely unexpected news about the rehab process for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and running back Jerick McKinnon. Lynch told the 49ers media at the Senior Bowl that both players are doing “exceptionally well” and are on pace to be on the field when training camp opens later this summer.I’m trying to remember the last time a general manager said a rehabbing player was not on or ahead of pace. I know it has happened when a GM is confirming already reported news, but when there isn’t new information out there, I don’t recall ever hearing a GM offer bad news about the situation.Earlier this week, Lynch mentioned seeing Garoppolo throwing the ball with McKinnon on the practice field in Santa Clara. He talked about that on Thursday, saying it fired him up and that both players are “working incredibly hard” in the rehab process.The 49ers kick off their offseason workout program in mid-April, with OTAs in May and minicamp in June. Lynch said Garoppolo could get some work in OTAs Laken Tomlinson Jersey , similar to what Kyle Shanahan said back in October. In the meantime, at least we know things are going “exceptionally well.” Welcome to Saturday NFL action!

The Jets snapped a six-game losing streak this past week, although they did have a four-point loss the week prior https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Joshua-Garnett-Jersey , so that’s two straight weeks of hanging close. The majority of tickets and money bet has been on the Texans, but home dogs are a little too enticing. I’m going to take the points with the Jets.Texans vs. JetsTime: 1:30 p.m. PTLocation: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJChannel: NFL NetworkStreaming: Fubo.TVOdds: Texans -6.5The late game features Denver looking to bounce back after their loss in Santa Clara. Except, they’re not a particularly good team and Cleveland is showing some serious life with Baker Mayfield. The Broncos are a 2.5-point home favorite, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. That defense could give Mayfield some trouble George Kittle Jersey , but I think Nick Chubb will chew them up on the ground to make life easier.
