49ers News: Mike Evans practices again
Can the 49ers depend on rookie WR De’Zhaun Stribling?“The team has long shied away from plugging any of its young wideouts into one position, instead asking them to learn all three spots (F, X or Z) before deciding where to put them. That workload can faze some players, but coaches and teammates have said Stribling […]
49ers change up their left guard rotation; Mike Evans and Jacob Cowing return
The San Francisco 49ers brought in tight end Khalil Dinkins for a tryout, per the transaction wire. This comes 48 hours after three tight ends, Brayden Willis, Josiah Deguara, and Hayden Rucci, played 33 to 37 snaps in the preseason opener. George Kittle remains on the active/PUP, while the team still has Luke Farrell and […]
De’Zhaun Stribling is in rare company with his preseason debut against the Titans
Well, the 49ers’ first pick of the 2026 draft, wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, just keeps looking better and better. On Thursday, against the Tennessee Titans, Stribling hauled in seven catches for 63 yards. In the first half. Sure, we can make all the jokes we want about it being preseason, but that doesn’t happen very […]
49ers News: We’re on to the Los Angeles Chargers
After broken neck, 49ers’ Robert Jones ready to fight for a job: ‘I do have to hit again’ (paywall)“Jones used a bone-stimulation machine to promote healing for four months, took regular hospital trips for two-hour stints in a hyperbaric chamber and wasn’t permitted to run until he was medically cleared in March….“When we got to […]
49ers hold tryouts with 3 defensive backs after a trio of injuries at the position
The San Francisco 49ers had tryouts with three defensive backs after the news that Nate Hobbs (groin), Jack Jones (hand), and Marques Sigle (oblique) suffered injuries this past week. One was Troy Pride, a 5’11, 195-pound cornerback out of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was drafted in the fourth round. Pride was last with the […]
49ers preseason snap counts and grades: More questions than answers at left guard
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Watkins is going to be sore this morning after playing a team-high 58 offensive snaps and another five as the return man. Then you have the other side, with the newly signed Zamir White only seeing the field for six snaps late in the game at running back. Let’s […]
Did the 49ers find a defensive gem in the 4th round of the draft?
There was much made of the San Francisco 49ers’ draft strategy in 2026 and from previous drafts. It’s clear the 49ers have their own board, which is put together with physical and character traits that are desired by the organization. After one preseason game, the 49ers’ rookie class was on display against the Titans. De’Zhaun […]
6 Winners and 4 losers from the 49ers’ preseason opener
The San Francisco 49ers had their first preseason game, where we witnessed Adrian Martinez throw the ball 30 times and the running backs show us what three yards and a cloud of dust looks like. The scoreboard doesn’t matter in the preseason. You want to see players making plays. The box score can be deceiving, […]
3 stars for the 49ers: Did Kurtis Rourke make Mac Jones expendable?
The San Francisco 49ers played the Tennessee Titans in both teams’ preseason openers on Thursday night, with the Titans coming out on top by a final score of who cares; it’s the first preseason game. What we are here to take away is who the top performers were in a game where there are plenty […]
49ers News: Rookies make a strong first impression in Titans preseason game
What Kyle Shanahan and others said after 49ers’ 19-13 loss vs. Titans“Yeah, [Saleh and I are] not the biggest note takers, but we’re more FaceTimers. So, we sat there and FaceTimed a little bit the last two nights, just talking about what we saw from each other. It’s a little bit easier when you’re in […]
49ers injury updates: Kurtis Rourke went to the hospital; Nate Hobbs pulled his groin
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates after the Niners’ preseason opener. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke was struggling to breathe after he left the game with a rib injury. Shanahan said he didn’t want to go too much in depth about the injury as he didn’t have updates. However, the team was concerned […]
49ers fall to the Titans, but De’Zhaun Stribling steals the show
We were reminded of what preseason football looks like. It’s a precipitous drop-off from QB3 to QB4. But we also got to see some first-year players shine. The San Francisco 49ers entered the game with an intent to feature De’Zhaun Stribling. He caught a pass on the first play of the game. Stribling finished the […]
49ers-Titans preseason game thread: It’s Kurtis Rourke time
The San Francisco 49ers host their first preseason game of the season against the Tennessee Titans. We’ll see which starters are in uniform. You’d think, even though they’re expected to play significant roles this season, rookies De’Zhaun Stribling and Romello Height would see some action. They’re both in uniform. Robert Saleh will play his starters. […]
Can Kaelon Black take over RB2 role in the preseason?
The San Francisco 49ers are back at Levi’s Stadium for the first time on Thursday, as they’ll take on the Tennessee Titans in the preseason opener, with kickoff slated for 6:00 p.m. Following the joint practices this week, head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn’t expect many starters to take the field on Thursday, which opens up […]
49ers’ QB Brock Purdy ranked in the top 10 in 3 categories by ESPN
ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky ranked the top quarterbacks in the NFL in several categories, ranging from arm strength to rushing ability. It’s a list that is as subjective as it gets. For example, mechanics were one of the categories. He had Daniel Jones listed third. I’d argue that Geno Smith, for all his faults, could be […]
Which 49ers player are you looking forward to seeing the most in their preseason opener?
Tonight should be entertaining because we get to see the players we’ve been reading and hearing about for three weeks in action. Which San Francisco 49ers players will stand out? Which players will look like they don’t belong? We know there are still some position battles to be determined. The same is true for some […]
What is one thing every new 49ers fan needs to know?
The San Francisco 49ers have a game today. Yes, it’s a preseason game, but it is their first game on a football field for the 2026 season. No doubt we have a lot of new faces here on the site, but we, as fans, probably have a lot of new faces in the fanbase. Over […]
49ers-Titans preview: 5 players with something to prove tonight
We’ll get our first look at several San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, as they host the Tennessee Titans in their preseason opener. It’s unlikely we see many, if any, of the starters tonight. That doesn’t mean there won’t be meaningful football, though, as roster spots will be decided. Here are five players fighting for […]
49ers News: Game day against the Tennessee Titans
We get to watch the San Francisco 49ers play football. Maybe not the starters, but there will be enough battles that play out during preseason that’ll be worth the watch. Who are you looking forward to watching? Who should play extended snaps? Onto today’s links. Top five things to watch for in the 49ers’ preseason […]
49ers add a running back ahead of the preseason opener; waive Junior Bergen
The San Francisco 49ers are entering their first preseason game without the services of their top four running backs, as Christian McCaffrey (tightness), Jordan James (ribs), Kaelon Black (adductor), and Isaac Guerendo (pec) are all sidelined. Because of that, the team had three running backs in the building on Monday. One was on a visit, […]
San Francisco 49ers roster by jersey number, last name
The NFL preseason is underway, and you’re going to run into a handful of names who you had no idea were on the San Francisco 49ers. Rosters are still at 90 players, so it can be pretty difficult to keep up with all of the moving parts. It seemed like the 49ers had daily tryouts […]
3 questions for the 49ers at WR: Can this group stay healthy?
No position has been more volatile over the past couple of years for the San Francisco 49ers than wide receiver. Oddly enough, from 2019-2024, the position was maybe the sturdiest of all position groups, with some variation of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings leading. But now, just two years removed from that, the […]
K.J. Wright on 49ers rookie: ‘He is that guy I saw on film”
The San Francisco 49ers have been preaching versatility on defense under new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, and perhaps no player has symbolized that more than fifth-round rookie linebacker Jaden Dugger. Dugger, a safety-converted-MIKE in college, fits what the 49ers have generally liked with their linebackers from an athleticism perspective. But there’s a lot more to […]
Commanders fans are getting the Jake Moody experience familiar to 49ers fans
Washington Commanders fans are getting the Jake Moody experience San Francisco 49ers fans know so well. The former 49ers kicker is competing for the Commanders’ placekicker job, a situation not unlike the one he was in just one year ago. The difference is, the 49ers released Gregg Joseph, Moody’s competitor, because Moody won the competition […]
49ers News: Sounds like the joint practice was LIT
Fred Warner de-escalates fiery, fight-filled 49ers-Titans joint practice“The 49ers had two notable plays on back-to-back snaps highlighted by plays from defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa and safety Ji’Ayir Brown. Odighizuwa supplied pressure up the middle and grabbed a handful of Titans quarterback Cam Ward’s jersey as he ran past. The Titans did not take kindly to […]
