Slap Hands What we learned as Cowing, Stribling power 49ers’ preseason win over Chargers“Cornerback Renardo Green, who is being pushed to retain his starting job, might have suffered a major setback on Thursday night. Veteran cornerback Jack Jones entered the game at the start of the second quarter. It is never a good sign when […]
We saw Brock Purdy throw six passes, but once Kyle Shanahan saw him scramble, that would be the end of the night for the San Francisco 49ers’ franchise quarterback. Still, there was plenty of action in the first half. Deebo Samuel was the first punt returner up, but Jacob Cowing showed why he should be […]
The San Francisco 49ers received good news before they took the field on Thursday night. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted the following: 49ers tight end George Kittle visited Wednesday in Los Angeles with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed the surgery on his torn Achilles in January. It was said to be an encouraging […]
The San Francisco 49ers are in Los Angeles to take on the Chargers for their second preseason game. There are familiar faces all over, with Jim Harbaugh, Mike McDaniel, Trey Lance, NaVorro Bowman, and Shane Day all on the other sideline. The 49ers’ secondary is hopeful they can pick on Lance and the rest of […]
The San Francisco 49ers placed running back Patrick Taylor Jr. on the Injured Reserve List. This will be the second season in a row for Taylor Jr., who seemed like he had the inside track on making the roster and contributing on special teams. Taylor Jr. played 23 snaps last week, including one covering punts, […]
The San Francisco 49ers are back in action on Thursday, taking on the Los Angeles Chargers in their second preseason game after the two sides had a joint practice earlier this week. San Francisco is expected to play some starters, including potentially quarterback Brock Purdy, before giving way for the backups to see some opportunities. […]
It was not exactly a surprise this week when Kyle Shanahan gave a pessimistic outlook regarding Mykel Williams’ status for the 49ers’ regular-season opener with the Los Angeles Rams. Williams being ready for Week 1 always seemed unlikely after he tore his ACL in the Week 9 win over the New York Giants last November, […]
The San Francisco 49ers have several players vying for roster spots. Some players are fighting uphill battles, others are looking to carve out roles, while a few are trying to prove to the coaching staff that they’re worth keeping around. The 49ers are still looking to find which receiver/returner, left guard, linebacker, and defensive tackle […]
It’s game day for the San Francisco 49ers, following a spirited joint practice with Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers. Regardless of your feelings about how the joint practice went, the 49ers left without serious injuries and head into tonight’s preseason matchup set to play “some starters.” Which starters and for how long is […]
Pro Football Focus wrote about each team’s biggest concern heading into the 2026 season. For the San Francisco 49ers, it’s the “misses” along the defensive line: The 49ers need much more from their first- and second-round picks on the defensive line this season. Last season, Mykel Williams played just 385 snaps before suffering a season-ending injury, earning a 54.7 […]
Five 49ers players to watch in team’s preseason Week 2 game vs. Chargers“San Francisco struggled Tuesday with its pass defense against Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and his receivers. Green and the rest of the players in the secondary probably feel as if they have something to prove on Thursday night as they aim to force […]
The San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Chargers hosted a joint practice this week ahead of Thursday’s preseason game, and a ton of reports praised the latter for their performance on the day. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had a day, as the Los Angeles offense regularly seemed to make plays. On the flip side, […]
We’ll do a pulse check on the San Francisco 49ers every week. The team is fresh off a joint practice against the Los Angeles Chargers, where the secondary struggled. There were some positive performances, like Osa Odighizuwa, but Mike Evans also left practice early. As the Niners enter their second preseason game, we ask what […]
The San Francisco 49ers hadn’t seen enough from Junior Bergen through a couple of weeks of training camp practice. Bergen reportedly flashed while working with the returners. But the team waiving Bergen last week shows you how wide receiver is a lot more about catching passes — likely when you’re schemed open — and more […]
The San Francisco 49ers may have improved their defensive line, but Pro Football Focus doesn’t see that improvement as substantial. And you can be optimistic and say “yet.” Ranking all the defensive lines of the NFL, PFF’s Gordon McGuinness ranked the 49ers at 20th. In June 2025, the 49ers ranked 21st, so with Osa Odighizuwa […]
Kurtis Rourke’s dazzling 49ers debut could open door to a Mac Jones trade (paywall)“Still, Rourke’s promise, coupled with Jones’ expiring contract, could make the 49ers more motivated to deal Jones during the season than they were in the offseason. Jones is in the final year of his contract, and the 49ers could net a high-end […]

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of defensive tackle Evan Anderson. To make room for Anderson, the team waived/injured Titus Leo, who signed with the team on August 2. Anderson is a familiar face after playing a little more than 250 snaps for the 49ers as an undrafted rookie in 2024. He should be […]
As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for their trip down under to Australia to face off with Myles Garrett and the Los Angeles Rams, all eyes are on George Kittle and his ambitious timeline of Week 1 for a return from his torn Achilles.
