The San Francisco 49ers staged a low‑profile QB‑WR workout that could shift late preseason depth charts. Nate Sudfeld, previously in line for a 2022 backup role, threw with Colton Dowell, Jalen Guyton and J.J. Jones as the WRs in tow. San Francisco has been juggling WR depth, with eight receivers in Week 2 of the preseason, led by Ricky Pearsall and Demarcus Robinson near the top of the pecking order as the regular season looms. Any August signee for WR is unlikely to crack the 53‑man roster, but Sudfeld’s showing could influence how the team handles the backfield and emergency quarterback duties. If the staff liked what they saw, the 49ers could pursue Sudfeld in a WR‑workout path the way Carter Bradley did. With Sudfeld’s familiarity with the offense, he could be a plausible emergency QB behind Purdy and Mac Jones if the roster evolves. The broader note is Philly’s former second‑round pick and other WRs could be in the mix for preseason snaps and depth chart shifts, including potential return implications against the Chargers in the finale.

The Detroit Lions are set to host the Tennessee Titans in a matchup that appears heavily tilted in favor of the Lions, who are riding a four-game winning streak. Quarterback Jared Goff has been exceptional, leading the NFL's second-best offense.

Meanwhile, the Titans are struggling, having lost their last two games and ranking 31st in offense. Quarterback Will Levis is facing challenges in his second season, raising questions about the team's future direction.
