Early camp setbacks impact depth charts for the 49ers and Giants as players battle rib and knee injuries.
NFL training camps are underway, bringing early injury reports that are shifting depth charts and fantasy outlooks, according to FantasyPros.
Within the San Francisco 49ers organization, running back Jordan James suffered a rib fracture during Monday's practice, as reported by Nick Wagoner. This injury provides an opening for Kaelon Black to potentially move into the RB2 role behind Christian McCaffrey. Additionally, 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is experiencing knee swelling linked to a PCL injury sustained last year. Nick Wagoner reports that the team is exploring "all options" and expressing "concern" regarding the injury. These absences, along with a calf strain suffered by Christian Kirk, have allowed rookie De’Zhaun Stribling to receive first-team reps in camp.
Meanwhile, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has returned to the field. According to Jordan Raanan, Nabers participated in individual drills during the team's first practice of the summer, marking his first time running since a knee injury.
