Being released by former team is not totally a bad thing as the player is now with the freedom to choose a new team to join. That’s exactly what veteran running back Justin Fargas has now after failing his physical and being released by the Oakland Raiders right before he was due to get a $1.7 million roster bonus, and his first visit is with the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I don’t see that happening, no," Fargas told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I was told by the coach that they were moving in a different direction. They said it was strictly about money. I know some things were put out there, I guess they said I didn’t pass a physical. I’m a little disappointed by the way it happened but I understand it’s a business.”
Therefore, with the determination not to wear back the Raiders jersey, Fargas began his visit and research of possible new teams. After the visit to Chiefs, the next stop could be the San Francisco 49ers, which have been in contact with Fargas’ agent.

49ers RT Pashos to be lost for the season with shoulder injury
The San Francisco 49ers unwillingly placed right tackle Tony Pashos on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday after he had an MRI exam on the left shoulder. A blade on the shoulder was broken and Pashos will not be able to use it in the remaining season.
The veteran offensive lineman in 49ers jersey was hurt during Sunday’s 24-21 loss at Houston. It was the first time he started at right tackle in place of Adam Snyder and Coach Mike Singletary had hoped to make him the regular right tackle so as to improve things on the line. And now the injuries just destroyed all the plans.
Although Singletary did not speculate in Monday to the media about how the line would look come Sunday if Pashos was out, it was most likely that he would move Snyder back to right tackle and keep Chilo Rachal at right guard.

49ers QB Hill returned to field and was ready for Saturday exhibition
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill returned to practice on Thursday and said that his back injury was not serious enough to prevent him from playing in Saturday’s preseason game at Dallas.
Hill injured his lower back on Tuesday and left Wednesday’s training camp workout after throwing only one pass. Coach Mike Singletary said that day he was unsure about whether Hill could play on Saturday night.
Now, Singletary was glad to see the regular-season starting quarterback back on field. And Hill said Thursday that he felt pretty good with his back.
“Everything felt good,” Hill said Thursday. “It was nice to get out there and be able to practice. If anything, in my mind, it wasn’t as bad as everybody else thought, that’s for sure. I knew there wasn’t a whole lot to it.”
Hill also said the back was getting better but still not sure how long he could play in the 49ers’ third preseason game.

49ers won over Broncos by 17-16
For the fans out of the field, it was just so exciting to see the preseason opener game between the 49ers and the Broncos. The 49ers won with a nearthing of 17-16.
On the Broncos side, Kyle Orton threw interceptions in his first three series during a disastrous debut. After he made the night’s third first-half pick, 49ers quarterback Alex Smith threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Brit Miller. Chris Simms nearly led Denver to victory with a big second half. He hit Kenny McKinley on a 52-yard TD pass with 2:01 left after the 49ers was put up 17-10 by Miller’s second TD on a 40-yard reception from Damon Huard. However, he did not manage to help the Broncos make the 2-point conversion.
One more special thing on that night is the return to Candlestick Park of Mike Nolan, who was former 49ers coach and works as Denver’s defensive coordinator now.
