These statistics are indicative of one thing: the team assembled in the offseason by Mike Vrabel has top personnel, and it's been duly recognized by the NFL. While only three of the seven players were acquired by Vrabel, it's irrelevant. They've all performed superlatively under his tutelage, and the results are evident. Vrabel's coaching put these players from the former regime in a position to succeed.

It was Aug. 17 and 18 of 2022 and the 49ers spent two days of practices with the Minnesota Vikings at their team headquarters in Eagan, Minnesota before their preseason game that weekend. I just remember him wrecking our practice, Williams said Monday. He was a thorn in our backside as o-linemen because he diagnosed so quickly. He took away our ability to help because he was getting to the spot he needed to be so quick.

Watson, 30, hasn't played since rupturing his right Achilles tendon last October, which sidelined him for the final 10 games of the 2024 season. He underwent a second surgery in January after re-tearing his Achilles, and the Browns announced that he would miss significant time in 2025. The designation opens a 21-day practice window for Watson, who will be limited in practice Wednesday and conduct individual drills. Stefanski said the next step for Watson could include scout team quarterback reps.

Tests confirmed that McCoy tore his biceps and Miller tore his ACL in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears, Moore said. Moore did not say who will replace McCoy, but said guards Cesar Ruiz and Torricelli Simpkins III both have experience playing center. The Saints (1-6) also traded with the Jacksonville Jaguars in August to acquire veteran center Luke Fortner.

Daniels, who rehabbed a torn Achilles on his right leg in the offseason, popped up on the Dolphins' injury report Thursday for an ankle injury on the left leg. He left Thursday's practice early as a limited participant and did not take part in Friday drills. With Daniels good to go, Miami will have its full projected starting offensive line available for Sunday's opener in Indianapolis. From left to right, the team has Patrick Paul, rookie Jonah Savaiinaea, Aaron Brewer, Daniels and Austin Jackson starting.

The Washington Commanders have the NFL's oldest roster this season. Not entirely surprising when one considers the inept drafts over Ron Rivera's four years at the helm, which sparked a downward spiral that eventually landed the franchise Jayden Daniels. Not a bad consolation prize, but it's forced Adam Peters into a change in strategy. And there was one big winner from the team's final roster cuts who's coming to the fore at the best possible time.
