49ers

• If 49ers DC Robert Saleh was to leave his post as the team’s defensive coordinator, Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich would be at the top of HC Kyle Shanahan‘s list, according to SI’s Albert Breer.
• Ulbrich would likely not be available, so Breer believes that defensive assistant Gus Bradley would be the most realistic succession plan.

Cardinals

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson had a whopping 15 receptions on 18 targets for 185 yards in Week 11’s loss to the 49ers. Wilson reflected on a missed pass early on in the game, saying he quickly wanted to turn things around.

“I’m running off the field and I’m like, ‘Oh (expletive), I hope that’s not what the game looks like,'” Wilson said, via Darren Urban of the team’s site. “Even at 18 targets, I want to see 18 catches. I get mad when I am targeted and I don’t make the play. So I’m like, ‘(expletive), I’ve got to get this fixed.'”

Regarding his 34-yard reception while being interfered with by 49ers CB ****Upton Stout, Wilson said he was mentally committed to coming down with the ball.

“I just decided in my mind, ‘I am going to come down with this football.’ Once I came down with the ball, then I felt good. I felt juiced. I felt, this is the game I’m going to decide will go right for me,” Wilson said.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett said Wilson put together one of the most impressive games he’s seen from a receiver and hopes to continue building their chemistry.

“We are working towards it,” Brissett said. “You never really feel like you are all the way there. We threw a ‘go’ route in a game (incomplete), and I kind of kept him straight and I should’ve brought him a little to the left. Things like that. So it’s getting better. But that’s one of the most impressive games I’ve seen from a receiver in this league. Hoping to continue to build off that. He’s one of those guys, after every play, he’s coming and talking to me on the sideline. I felt his energy.”

Rams

Recently retired DT Aaron Donald said he’s reached out to Rams DE Jared Verse and DT ****Kobie Turner, saying he offers to study film and work out with players around the team.

“I try to reach out to [Jared] Verse here and there,” Donald said, via RamsWire. *“Kobie Turner too. He’s my guy that played with me. I tell him, ‘If you’re watching film and I’m free and I can watch film with you, I’m down to watch. I can just be in the back of the room and if you have a question to ask or I see something that I can help you with I’m down to do it.’ I think the way that they’ve been playing and the opportunity they have in front of them is pretty special and to take advantage of it. Anything I can do to try...
