Burrow (knee) is undergoing surgery to remove his appendix and will miss some practice time in the coming weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Given the typical recovery timeline for an appendix removal, Burrow should be back at practice around mid-August or even a bit sooner. This does put his availability for the preseason in doubt, though he likely wouldn't have played much even without any health concerns. Burrow avoided surgery on a left MCL sprain this offseason and was able to practice without a knee brace at the Bengals' June minicamp.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told Tim Kawakami on The TK Show on Monday that he expects Garoppolo (shoulder) to report to training camp Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The entire 49ers roster is required to report to camp Tuesday, and Garoppolo will be among his current teammates, likely just for the typical physical and nothing else. Shanahan has made the transition from Garoppolo to second-year pro Trey Lance under center this offseason, which was helped by the fact Garoppolo spent most of it in recovery mode from March surgery to address his right throwing shoulder. Garoppolo resumed throwing in early July, and there's hope he'll receive medical clearance by mid-August. His representatives have been given permission to seek a trade, and per Matt Barrows of The Athletic interested teams include the Browns, Seahawks and Texans.

Perry sustained a hamstring strain while training for camp and is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Perry was waived by the Jaguars with a non-football injury designation Sunday but is expected to make a full recovery after rehabbing for a few weeks. It's not yet clear whether he'll be back to full health in time to compete for a roster spot ahead of the regular season, but his injury doesn't seem to be a long-term concern.

The Jaguars cut Perry (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Perry was initially expected to sign with the Eagles this offseason but instead wound up inking a deal with the Jaguars. However, after just a few months with the team, the Brown product has been let go in favor of Kyle Sloter, who was signed by Jacksonville on Sunday.

Murray signed a five-year contract extension with the Cardinals on Thursday.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft -- who was set to enter the final year of his rookie contract -- is getting a five-year, $230.5 million deal that includes $160 million guaranteed. With that, the 24-year-old quarterback is under contract with Arizona through the 2028 season.

The 49ers have given Garoppolo's agents permission to seek a trade now that the veteran quarterback has been cleared to start practicing, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Garoppolo may need more time to build up his arm strength after offseason surgery on his right shoulder, but he's at least been deemed healthy enough to practice. With the 49ers ready to turn to Trey Lance under center, a trade makes the most sense for all parties, though Garoppolo's considerable salary is another complicating factor on top of the shoulder surgery. Matt Barrows of The Athletic recently mentioned Seattle, Cleveland and Houston as possible destinations for the 30-year-old quarterback.

Garoppolo (shoulder) is expected to be cleared to practice by mid-August, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Perhaps more important than being cleared to return to practice, Garoppolo would also be expected to pass a physical, which should re-open the trade market for his services. It has been previously reported by Matt Barrows of The Athletic that the Browns, Seahawks and Texans remain candidates to acquire the 30-year-old quarterback.

Garoppolo, who is on the mend from the shoulder surgery that he underwent in March, has reportedly resumed throwing, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

While the fact that he's throwing again is a step in the right direction for Garoppolo as training camp approaches, it's unclear if he'll be able to fully practice by the end of the month. As the 30-year-old progresses in his recovery from surgery, look for the focus to soon shift on where he'll be playing in 2022. Though Garoppolo is still on the 49ers roster, he remains a candidate to be traded, with Trey Lance seemingly poised to handle starting duties this coming season. Per Barrows, the Browns, Seahawks and Texans are among the teams that could look into acquiring Garoppolo.

Panthers GM Scott Fitterer confirmed Mayfield will be part of an open QB competition this summer, also noting that the team hasn't discussed a contract extension and is taking a "short-term" view on Mayfield, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Fitterer expects the QB snaps to be split "fairly even" between Mayfield and Sam Darnold early in training camp, while rookie third-round pick Matt Corral will enter camp as the third-stringer. The Panthers recently acquired Mayfield in a trade with the Browns, giving up a fifth-round pick (that can turn into a fourth-rounder based on playing time) and taking on only part of the QB's salary. It sounds like Mayfield will be healthy for the start of camp after having surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder in January.

Corral will enter training camp as the Panthers' No. 3 quarterback after Carolina acquired Baker Mayfield from the Browns on Wednesday, Ellis L. Williams of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Carolina traded up into the third round to select Corral this spring, just one offseason after trading for incumbent starter Sam Darnold. Now with Mayfield in the fold, he and Darnold will compete for the team's first-string job, a development that seemingly reduces Corral's chances of playing early on during his rookie campaign. However, with both Mayfield and Darnold on expiring contracts, Corral still looks to be an important piece of the Panthers' future, as his development during the upcoming season could affect the organization's decisions at the position moving forward.
