Latest news and updates about the 49ers
Week 8 Tape Takeaways: Don’t make me watch this game ever again (paywall)“For the most part, no one really got home. Mykel Williams had more success rushing from the inside, but he wasn’t very productive, though he was heavily doubled. Will the additions of Keion White and Clelin Ferrell save this front? I think not. […]
The San Francisco 49ers officially signed Andre Dillard to the practice squad. The former first-round pick was with the team during training camp, but he was injured. The corresponding move to make room for Dillard was to waive offensive tackle Brandon Parker. That’s probably a sign that Dillard is fully healthy. Here is the list […]
With one week to go until the NFL trade deadline, the New England Patriots already made their first moves. On Tuesday, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel shipped defensive end Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers and followed it up by sending safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The trades are following […]
The New England Patriots are having a busy day. Less than an hour after news broke that they have sent defensive lineman Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers, they have swung another trade. Kyle Dugger, a longtime starting safety and former team captain, is being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to a report […]
The San Francisco 49ers knew they couldn’t go another week without adding a defensive lineman of some sort. We didn’t make it until Wednesday before the Niners made a trade. San Francisco is acquiring Keion White from the New England Patriots. The teams will swap picks, with New England getting a sixth-round pick and San […]
The New England Patriots and Keion White will be going their separate ways in the future. According to several reports, the third-year defensive lineman is being traded to the San Francisco 49ers. New England is sending a seventh-round draft pick in 2026 to the 49ers alongside White, in return for a sixth-round selection next spring. […]
The writing was on the wall, now it has indeed happened: the New England Patriots have traded defensive lineman Keion White. The 26-year-old is headed to the San Francisco 49ers alongside a 2026 seventh-round draft pick, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. In return, the Patriots are getting back a 2026 sixth-rounder. A […]
Sunday’s performance in Houston didn’t leave many players to choose from as bounce-back candidates. As the defensive line failed to generate a pass rush against the much-maligned Texans’ offensive line, the defense struggled to get off the field on third down, allowing Houston to dominate time of possession. The offense was barely on the field, […]
The NFL trade deadline is rapidly approaching, and the San Francisco 49ers are positioned to be buyers, sitting at 5-3 with a couple of key needs following some injuries. The 49ers are lacking some pass rush juice after losing Nick Bosa for the season and recently losing Bryce Huff to a hamstring injury for a […]
San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Sam Okuayinonu went down with an injury in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans and is now considered day-to-day with an ankle injury. The team won’t have Bryce Huff for another week. Yetur Gross-Matos has been a rotational pass rusher. That leaves Mykel Williams, Robert Beal, and William Bradley-King, […]
Per The Athletic’s Joe Person, the Carolina Panthers signed Trevis Gipson off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. Gipson, who was out of elevations, would have needed to be promoted full-time to the 49ers’ active roster if he were to play again. Despite releasing Gipson, your elevations do not reset when you re-sign. So, the […]
Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but the San Francisco 49ers are feeling the lingering effects of multiple injuries at several positions. This past Sunday, players like Matt Hennessy, Connor Colby, Nick Zakelj, Curtis Robinson, Trevis Gipson, and Robert Beal were all playing multiple series, if not starter-level snaps. That wasn’t the plan for […]
During the bye week, the Seattle Seahawks took the lead in the NFC West without even playing. To maintain this status, they need another primetime victory, this time on Sunday Night Football against the Washington Commanders on the road. A victory is crucial because the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are expected to […]
The San Francisco 49ers started Sunday sluggish and spotted the Houston Texans 16 points before getting on the board, but by then, it was too little too late. The 49ers would cut the lead to eight, but the slow start proved too much to overcome, as Houston extended it to 11 and San Francisco couldn’t […]
The San Francisco 49ers being the favorites isn’t anything new. However, the New York Giants not being significant underdogs is eyebrow-raising. That’s the scenario we have heading into Week 9. As the Niners head to the dreaded MetLife Stadium, FanDuel Sportsbook has the road team as 2.5-point underdogs, with an obnoxiously high total of 48.5. […]
The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of Week 8: And Nick Caley took that personally: After the debacle in Seattle, perhaps no Texans player/coach […]
49ers will not open Brandon Aiyuk’s 21-day practice window ahead of Week 9 game“It’s week to week from here on out that he has a chance,” Shanahan said. “Every week, he’s getting closer, just not this week.” 49ers minutia minute: Worst time of possession of the Kyle Shanahan era (paywall)“The 49ers’ fastest ball carrier on […]
The Washington Commanders won’t have Jayden Daniels, but they will have Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin back in action. Marcus Mariota will need all of the help he can get with how the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have been operating as of late. Since Week 4, Andy Reid and company have scored 37, […]
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on Monday afternoon. The team plans to open the practice window for guard Ben Bartch, who has not played since the first quarter of Week 2 after suffering a high-ankle sprain. Connor Colby has done a respectable job for a seventh-round rookie, but it’s evident […]
Well, that didn’t go well at all. The San Francisco 49ers were dominated on both sides of the ball and sustained even more injuries across their defensive line. There was a point on Sunday afternoon where the 49ers were down one possession. The Texans won by 11 points, but the game within the game belonged […]
The San Francisco 49ers lost 26-15 in a maddening game against the Houston Texans. Turns out, not having Bryce Huff on a defense already running on fumes might make said defense worse. But it wasn’t all terrible. The defense did secure one significant milestone, specifically a turnover. But not just any turnover, an interception. The […]
The last time the San Francisco 49ers faced the Los Angeles Rams, Mac Jones threw for 342 yards, and Kendrick Bourne had a field day. Jones completed 75 percent of his passes against a leaky Rams secondary that provided little resistance. Los Angeles had a bye week in Week 8, the week allowing the second-most […]
The San Francisco 49ers continue to see-saw back and forth in the win and loss column. Week 8’s loss to the Houston Texans wasn’t all that shocking, given the quality of the opponent and the road team’s injuries. All is not lost for the 5-3 Niners. If you’re going to drop a game, let it […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
The Los Angeles Rams are tied for the best record in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks at 5-2, but they’re temporarily in a wild card spot as they approach midseason because L.A. has yet to win a conference game. However, if the Rams had tied the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, then […]
