49ers CB Chase Lucas spoke with reporters after the team’s preseason game with the Raiders and mentioned his battle for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster.
“There’d be days where I didn’t wanna get up because I wasn’t giving the organization what I wanted, but that’s just a soft mentality,” Lucas told reporters. “I had to flip the script, and I feel like this year it’s a different story… I was tired of being on the sidelines. I was tired of being in (street clothes)… I told myself whatever needs to happen, whatever I need to do, I’ll train my body crazy during the offseason. I made sure that people are going to know my name.”
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett doesn’t want to sit out of the final preseason game and said he wants to continue to prepare as if he’s going to be the team’s starter.
