49ers add 3 defensive linemen from the practice squad; work out 34-year-old Matt Judon
The San Francisco 49ers promoted defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko Jr. from the practice squad and elevated defensive tackle Kevin Givens and Sebastian Valdez. To make room for Fehoko Jr. on the active roster, the 49ers placed wide receiver Demarcus Robinson on injured reserve. He’ll miss at least four games. Fehoko Jr. is listed at 6’5″, […]
Former NFL QB says ‘nobody is playing the way Brock Purdy is right now’
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is enjoying arguably the best start to a season of his NFL career. Through two games, Purdy has thrown for 492 yards, five touchdowns, and an interception, while completing a league-high 80.8 percent of his passes and averaging 8.8 yards per attempt. Purdy has been very sharp with his […]
One 49ers rookie will need to step up in big way after injuries
Once again, the San Francisco 49ers continue to be hit by the injury bug, and it’s coming in heaps on the defensive line. Star defensive end Nick Bosa suffered a calf injury in practice during warmups, with head coach Kyle Shanahan expecting him to miss a few weeks, although the 49ers are not expected to […]
Kyle Shanahan shares how Nick Bosa got hurt; calls 49ers injuries ‘unusual’
Mike Evans practiced Friday for the San Francisco 49ers. That’s a good sign for his availability in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. However, rookie pass rusher Romello Height missed Friday’s session. Height had hand surgery earlier in the week after breaking it, and his status for Sunday was always in question. He was ruled […]
6 takeaways from the 49ers coordinators: Jordan Watkins is ‘going to get some ops’
Both San Francisco 49ers coordinators, Raheem Morris and Klay Kubiak, speak every Thursday. We’ll start having takeaways from their media sessions to see if they give any hints about what’s to come for the upcoming game. For the second week in a row, the 49ers offense and defense exceeded expectations. Morris is doing it without […]
49ers vs. Cardinals predictions: How creative will Raheem Morris get?
The San Francisco 49ers will look to start 3-0 when they take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, giving them their second NFC West matchup in three weeks. San Francisco has been on a roll to start the season, securing blowout wins over the Los Angeles Rams (27-7) and the Miami Dolphins (35-13) behind […]
49ers star Nick Bosa is expected to miss ‘a few weeks’ after pulling his calf
Another 49ers season, another potentially season-ending injury for Nick Bosa. Or at least that is the scenario according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Jennifer Lee Chan. Bosa popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a calf problem. Speaking on her YouTube channel, Chan reported that there’s concern that Bosa has suffered a “serious […]
49ers News: Kyle’s scheme will hopefully be Raising Arizona’s miscommunications on defense
Today during the press conference, all the 49ers said something similar about the Arizona Cardinals’ defense. They all mentioned two things: how Arizona swarms to the ball and how much they’re shifting/rotating their looks. Of course, you have to take everything players say to the media with a hypertension-inducing-sized grain of salt. It’s a game […]
Nick Bosa was added to the 49ers’ injury report with a calf issue
The San Francisco 49ers injury report is out for Thursday. Dre Greenlaw, Christian McCaffrey, and Trent Williams returned after missing Wednesday’s session due to Veterans Day. Romello Height (hand) and Mike Evans (hip) missed the second day in a row. Evans was reportedly working on the side of the field. Despite it being his first […]
Kyle Juszczyk appeals bizarre fine for TD celebration
49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk was subjected to a bizarre piece of league discipline this week as he was fined for his touchdown celebration in San Francisco’s blowout win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. The NFL hit Juszczyk with a $14,926 fine for what the league claimed to be a “beer-chugging” celebration following his […]
John Lynch uses the 49ers’ history as a reason to keep Mac Jones
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch has been consistent in his approach to wanting a quality backup for his starter. So far, the backup has always had experience. Jimmy Garoppolo, Sam Darnold, Josh Dobbs, Josh Johnson, and now Mac Jones. Kurtis Rourke lacks that, which might be one of the driving factors for Lynch […]
Fred Warner opens up about the 49ers’ run defense struggles
Two weeks into the season, the San Francisco 49ers’ rushing defense sits 17th in success rate and 12th in EPA per rush. Both the Rams and Dolphins have stretches where they got whatever they wanted to on the ground. Injuries have zapped the Niners’ depth. Part of the reason Los Angeles and Miami moved the […]
John Lynch on Brock Purdy: We’re just entering his prime
It’s been a strong start to the season for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who has thrown for 492 yards, five touchdowns, and an interception, while completing over 80 percent of his passes. Purdy, who is coming off a season where he played just nine games, had one of the best statistical games of […]
Robert Saleh reveals 49ers missed out on a top RB target in 2025 NFL Draft
The San Francisco 49ers have regularly been connected to the running back position in the NFL Draft, and they picked up another rookie this offseason, taking Kaelon Black in the third round. That pick was quite controversial at the time, as Black was expected to go much later on Day 3 and there hadn’t been […]
49ers News: Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses of defensive linemen
Everybody’s favorite reporter here, G**** C*** wrote today about the 49ers trading for Daron Payne. I’m not sure I’d want a questionable locker room presence like him, but the resident rabble-rouser has a point: it’s time to start scouring for gettable defensive linemen. I was watching the Giants-Rams game and noticed that Kayvon Thibedoux was […]
CJ West suffered a bone chip in his knee and is headed to the Injured Reserve
The San Francisco 49ers officially announced the signing of Naquan Jones off the Vikings’ practice squad. The team did the same with wide receiver Brandin Cooks. Cornerback Jakob Robinson was released from the practice squad after the team signed defensive lineman Viliami Fekhoko Jr. That’s because defensive tackle CJ West was placed on injured reserve. […]
NFL Week 3 power rankings: National media sees the 49ers as a real contender
The 49ers beat up on the Rams in Week 1, and then dominated the Dolphins in Week 2. The offense ran over Los Angeles but went aerial against Miami. There were some concerns about the run defense at times in both games, but if you score enough points, your opponent knows they need to keep […]
49ers poach a veteran defensive tackle off the Vikings’ practice squad
The San Francisco 49ers need bodies along their interior defensive line, with rookie James Thompson Jr. set to miss time with a high-ankle sprain. Tom Pelissero tweeted that the 49ers are signing veteran Naquan Jones off the Minnesota Vikings practice squad. Jones, 6’3″, 313 pounds, played 177 snaps in 2025 with the Houston Texans and […]
49ers in review: Are we ignoring concerning signs defensively?
There was no jet lag for the San Francisco 49ers coming home from Australia. San Francisco was rewarded for their travels with a Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, and the 49ers took advantage with a 35-13 blowout win at Levi’s Stadium. Before we look ahead to the 49ers Week 3 meeting with the […]
Why starting 3-0 matters for the 49ers
Several historical trends favor 2-0 teams that start 3-0. That’s what the San Francisco 49ers are striving for this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. A loss for an undefeated team in Week 2 is hardly a death knell, as those teams have still made the playoffs at nearly a 62% clip over the past 10 […]
Should the 49ers be active ahead of the trade deadline?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in 49ers fans and fans across the country. The San Francisco 49ers are turning over every leaf in an effort to keep the roster competitive as they battle attrition. After a slew of injuries […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, Brandin Cooks!
Someone on Warriors twitter posed an interesting comparison: Brock Purdy and Steph Curry. Curry runs Steve Kerr’s system to a T, with discipline, setting off-ball screens with the same fight as a G-League guy. When things fall apart and the moment calls for it, Curry is capable of going off-script and boldly improvising. 40-foot pull-ups, […]
49ers sign veteran WR with nearly 10,000 career receiving yards
After multiple injuries at the position, the San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks to their practice squad, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Cooks, who turns 33 on September 25th, is coming off a season where he played 15 games, spending time with both the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills. Across […]
Sean McVay admits travel mistake, takes blame for Week 1 approach
There was a ton of discourse ahead of the Week 1 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams about travel logistics, as both teams elected to take a different approach with the trip to Australia. Consulting their respective experts, the 49ers elected to fly into Australia a week early, allowing them […]
The 49ers need to improve in one key area
Over two weeks, the San Francisco 49ers have exceeded expectations, securing blowout wins over the Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins to start the season 2-0. Their offense has looked on point, while their defense has allowed just 20 points through two games. Despite some of the injuries, the 49ers have been humming, and they […]
