Russell Gage Jr. Elevated, Expecting to Play First Game Since 2022

Saturday, September 6, 4:32 PM

The San Francisco 49ers have elevated veteran wide receiver Russell Gage Jr. from the practice squad, meaning he will see his first game action since 2022. Gage missed the past two seasons after suffering a torn patellar tendon, but was previously a reliable WR3 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and quarterback Tom Brady. The 49ers' receiver room is in shambles, with Brandon Aiyuk, Jacob Cowing, and Demarcus Robinson all sidelined. Gage has a chance to see the field in Week 1 as he's expected to serve as the team's WR5 and play limited snaps if needed. While fantasy production isn't likely, simply seeing Gage back on the field after such a long recovery is a great story and an encouraging sign for San Francisco's depth moving forward.

No Sign of Return Timetable for Tank Dell

Wednesday, September 24, 11:15 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will technically be eligible to be activated off the reserve/physically unable to perform list following his team's Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. However, there's been no indication from the team that he's nearing a return to the field. That's not surprising, considering Dell dislocated his knee and tore three major ligaments in December 2024. The most likely scenario remains that Dell will miss the entirety of the 2025 season. Veteran wideout Christian Kirk has replaced Dell's role in Houston's offense, and Kirk hauled in three catches for 25 yards on eight targets in his season debut in Week 3.
