Bad News: Former Illinois QB & Interim AEW World Champion Luke Altmyer was cut by the Lions. Good News: He's reportedly about to remain on the team's practice squad.

Altmyer was released. Hope he makes the PS. Fantastic news on Arkin and James Thompson

Undrafted rookie James Thompson Jr. made the 49ers' initial roster, per source. It's a true achievement when a UDFA makes a 53-man roster of a playoff team.
