Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:14:04 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Oren Burks demonstrated what it meant to be in the right place at the right time on the 49ers’ Thanksgiving night win in Seattle, jumping on a fumble by punt return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud when an eventual 31-13 win was still in doubt.But another player considered one of the best in the NFL as a core special teamer will be out for the foreseeable future in George Odum, a reserve safety who who parlayed his skill on special teams to a three-year, $9 million contract before the 2022 season.Odum went on injured reserve after sustaining a torn biceps against Seattle. He said on his Instagram account he played on playing again this season, but that would probably necessitate a deep run into the playoffs as he recovers from surgery.“I’ll be back on the field this year!,” Odum wrote.But Odum won’t be available Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, the first time he’s missed a game since joining the 49ers. Odum led the 49ers in sp...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:14:04 GMT

Mackenzie Blackwood will not be starting in net for the San Jose Sharks on Friday when they play the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center.That’s just fine with Blackwood, who has kept his eye on the big picture rather than any special homecoming. Blackwood played his first five seasons in the NHL with the Devils after he was drafted by the team in 2015.“It’s just another game, really,” Blackwood said Friday morning. “Obviously, I spent a lot of time here, so it’ll be nice to see some of the guys I played with before. But other than that, it’ll probably be interesting for me to see the rink from the other side.”Blackwood said the Sharks’ coaches came to him about a month ago and asked him whether he wanted to start against his former team. The 6-foot-4 goalie said he didn’t have strong feelings about it one way or another, so the Sharks started him Thursday night against the Boston Bruins and will have Kaapo Kahkonen go tonight against the Devils, who have won three strai...
