Thursday night
Trevor Lawrence finished 16 of 26 for 242 yards and a touchdown. Parker Washington caught two passes for 61 yards, including a 50-yard score. Bhayshul Tuten ran 12 times for 29 yards and a touchdown, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. added 10 carries for 19 yards and another score. Fagnano went 10 of 18 for 60 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Justice Hill led Baltimore with 9 carries for 85 yards and a 65-yard touchdown. Derrick Henry managed 17 carries for 57 yards, and Zay Flowers was quiet with 3 catches for 6 yards. Kyle Hamilton left with a hip injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game, per Schefter, Rapoport and Garafolo.
Roster board
Baltimore signed Austin Reed as Fagnano started Thursday, with the Jacoby Brissett trade still expected after the game. Minnesota ruled Kyler Murray (hamstring) out for Monday night against Buffalo, so Carson Wentz starts. Thursday practice notes included Malik Nabers (knee) as a DNP who said he will be good, Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) limited, DJ Moore (shoulder) limited, and George Pickens (hamstring) limited again. Mike McDaniel is moving into the Chargers booth to call plays against Houston this weekend.
Aiyuk Friday
Tom Pelissero reported overnight that Brandon Aiyuk owes the 49ers about $13 million in bonus forfeiture, which complicates any release push as he reports Friday. The NFL Management Council and NFLPA are involved, with a payback deal or arbitration possible. Adam Schefter said agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed Aiyuk reports Friday at 3 p.m. ET to meet the team.
Business
NFL owners approved Arctos Partners' 7.5% stake in the Falcons, and the Dolphins sold a 2.1% stake at about a $12.5 billion minority valuation.
What to do now
Hold Lawrence and Washington after the TNF production. Treat Fagnano as a wait-and-see until Brissett's paperwork clears, and stash Hamilton through the hip evaluation. Keep Aiyuk on a short leash until the Friday facility meeting clarifies release timing. Recheck the Week 9 board for Nabers, Pickens, Moore and Fannin after Friday reports.
