  • 49ers released veteran Greg Joseph to hand Jake Moody the place-kicking duties and listed key injuries to Isaac Guerendo, Kyle Juszczyk, Kevin Givens and Sam Okuayinonu
  • Patriots cornerback Marcellas Dial was carted off with a left leg injury during 11-on-11 drills, further depleting a secondary already without Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis
