49ers training camp: Stage set for Purdy to join ‘plethora’ of quarterbacks

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:55:44 GMT

SANTA CLARA – Six months since running out of healthy quarterbacks with a Super Bowl berth on the line, the 49ers warmed up for their first training camp practice Wednesday with an almost silly surplus.There, under sunny skies and a championship forecast, four quarterbacks lined up to take snaps. One certainly was not like the others. Brock Purdy sported a red hoodie and black shorts while the other three quarterbacks donned black jerseys to work the 90-minute debut session.Then Purdy retreated into an observer role, forced to endure a 24-hour hold until he can throw to teammates for the first time since his elbow injury in the NFC Championship Game loss in Philadelphia.“The fact he’s cleared now and available to us and gets to practice tomorrow, hey, that’s awesome for the Niners,” tight end George Kittle said. “Our quarterbacks played well today, so you throw another good quarterback into the mix, and, hey, now we have a plethora of quarterbacks. Can’t wait.”San Francisco 49er tig...

Aaron Rodgers sharing info and making sure his new Jets teammates have their ‘brains turned on’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:55:44 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers strolled over to the New York Jets’ defensive sideline, gave a few teammates pats on their backs and then got to Tony Adams.The second-year safety had just picked off the four-time NFL MVP in team drills — and Rodgers had a couple of messages for him.“I wanted to tell T.A., ‘Man, nice play on that interception,”’ Rodgers said Wednesday. “Two, I also wanted to remind him that was a free play because they jumped offside.”Indeed, there was a penalty called on the play. But it was another display of Rodgers’ ultra competitiveness and leadership.“I see him walking all over the place, talking to people,” coach Robert Saleh said. “It’s funny because I think I’m learning his body language where he’s going to either talk some trash or give a good coaching point. He’s been great.”It’s rare to see a quarterback be so actively involved in the entire operation, especially during training camp. Saleh and...

Union Pacific hires CEO favored by hedge fund as profit falls 15% last quarter on weakening demand

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:55:44 GMT

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific has hired the CEO candidate favored by a hedge fund that’s been pressuring the railroad to improve amid disappointing results driven by weakening consumer demand and higher labor costs. The Omaha, Nebraska-based railroad said its former chief operating officer Jim Vena will take over as CEO next month. Soroban Capital Partners, a hedge fund that holds a $1.6 billion stake in Union Pacific, had been urging the railroad to hire Vena because of his expertise in streamlining operations.The hedge fund said that UP lagged behind its peers during Lance Fritz’ 8-year tenure in all key measures. Soroban declined to comment on the hire Wednesday, but investors resoundingly endorsed it by sending Union Pacific’s stock soaring more than 10% to $238 Wednesday.“I am excited about returning to Union Pacific and look forward to the journey to be the safest, most reliable and most efficient railroad in the industry,” Vena said in a statement. “Worki...

Kenny Pickett arrived for his second Steelers training camp with confidence … and a foot massager

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:55:44 GMT

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Kenny Pickett is an NFL veteran now. The proof is in the luggage the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback packed for his second training camp at Saint Vincent College.Crammed in with all the usual bevy of creature comforts needed for three-plus weeks in somewhat cramped quarters was a piece of equipment Pickett forgot last summer: a foot massager.“My feet kill me in cleats every day,” Pickett explained with a laugh Wednesday just outside Rooney Hall. “That (massager) was probably the big piece that I brought this (time).”Pickett spoke with the ease of someone who knows where they stand, a marked departure from his indoctrination into the NFL last summer when he walked onto Chuck Noll field buried — at least briefly — on the depth chart behind Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph.This time around there will be no parsing of his snap counts during practice. No breaking down of every throw of every drill. No doing everything in his power to stay out of the spotlight while he...

Broncos camp under Sean Payton has entirely different vibe from Nathaniel Hackett’s ‘Camp Cupcake’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:55:44 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Judging by the vibe at Wednesday’s “ramp-up” workout, the Denver Broncos are in for a much tougher training camp under new head coach Sean Payton than the infamous “Camp Cupcake” they took part in under Nathaniel Hackett a year ago.“We all saw it in the intensity and the sense of urgency from OTAs and minicamp and it just carried over into the practice that we just had,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton said. “… I was just talking to one of the guys in the weight room about how we do anything is how we do everything.”Players appear to have steeled themselves for a much more rigorous training camp and preseason slate than they had under Hackett, who was canned after just 11 months and four wins.“You can see it with their weights and the workouts we did yesterday, I think they’re in good shape,” Payton said after the spirited 90-minute practice that officially kicked off his first training camp in Denver.Payton instilled a culture in which...
