        Oronde Gadsden II

        LAC TE

        Chargers Just Gave Clearest Sign Yet You Shouldn't Draft Oronde Gadsden

        Chargers Just Gave Clearest Sign Yet You Shouldn't Draft Oronde Gadsden

        The Chargers ran two TEs out with the first unit for Thursday night's brief appearance against the 49ers. Neither of those guys was second-year TE Oronde Gadsden. Charlie Kolar and David Njoku each played two of Justin Herbert's three snaps before clear starters left the preseason contest. Njoku played three more snaps before his night ended, while Kolar played six more. Gadsden wound up tallying 2 catches for 24 yards among 3 targets, but his first look didn't come until early in the second quarter on the team's third possession.

        Cowboys RBs Malik Davis and Israel Abanikanda have garnered more first-team opportunities in recent workouts, and HC Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Thursday that they've "earned" those chances.

        Jaguars WR Parker Washington has missed most of this week's practices with an undisclosed injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, however, that Washington is expected to return next week. (He did not, unfortunately, add any injury details.)

        The Athletic's Matt Barrow writes that 49ers WR Deebo Samuel is "not going to be close to an every-down player" this season. Barrows adds that Samuel is expected to "take over a portion" of Ricky Pearsall's 'Z' role and also get some snaps in the backfield.

        Niners rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling did not draw the first two targets from QB Brock Purdy in Thursday night's exhibition game against the Chargers. Those first two passes went toward WR Deebo Samuel, with one completion for 4 yards. But Purdy did target Stribling on his next three attempts and complete all of them. The second-round pick finished the first quarter with 4 catches for 46 yards on 5 targets, snagging his last reception from QB Mac Jones. No other Niner caught more than one ball in the first half.

        ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers TE George Kittle got a good report Wednesday from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the surgeon who repaired the Achilles' tendon he tore in January.

        Cyrus Allen continues to make headlines as one of the Chiefs' offensive standouts this training camp. Most recently, he beat the team's first-round defensive back, Mansoor Delane, during 1-on-1 drills, with the video coming courtesy of Fox 4 Kansas City's Harold Kuntz.

        Just days after returning to practice from a leg injury, Jaylen Waddle is already starring again. Broncos beat reporter Zac Stevens said Bo Nix hit Waddle for a 60-yard touchdown, and Sean Payton added afterward that Waddle is “doing good.”

        In what is one of the final remaining starting quarterback battles in the league, Browns' Deshaun Watson looked impressive in their joint practice with the Bills. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN shared a video of Watson hitting KC Concepcion in the middle of the field for a roughly 30-yard gain.

        Fernando Mendoza is expected to make the first preseason start of his career, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. After essentially playing a half last week, entering for Kirk Cousins after the opening touchdown drive and staying in through the end of the third quarter, the Raiders’ first overall pick is expected to get a similar workload this time as the starter.
