The NFL approved minority sales for the San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants and New England Patriots at the NFL league meeting in New York on Wednesday.

The San Francisco 49ers have three representatives on this year's list of coaching candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

The Falcons (3-3) host the Dolphins (1-6) in Week 8, while the 49ers (5-2) travel to Texas for a game against the Texans (2-3). Christian McCaffrey RB, Chiefs: 129 yards and two touchdowns rushing, plus seven receptions and 72 yards on eight targets.

To Nix’s credit, he did complete a couple of nice back-shoulder passes when the Giants finally decided to play tight man coverage. However, his “best” pass of the fourth quarter — a 29-yard completion to Marvin Mims Jr. — was actually an overthrown pass that luckily landed in Mims’ hands.

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to be active during the trade deadline, maybe more than any other team. ESPN recently listed the 25 best players with a chance to be traded before the trade deadline, and the 49ers were tied to eight different players.

The Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions could all use a significant addition along the edge, but a new trade rumor about the Las Vegas Raiders from NFL Network crosses one big name off the list of possible additions.
