The Rams will fly into Australia the day before playing the 49ers
We’re still a little over a month away from the San Francisco 49ers’ season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. If you’ve been away all summer, the game won’t be played in California. Instead, it’ll be the first-ever game in Australia. The way that each team is handling the travel schedule is vastly different. According […]
49ers rookie Jaden Dugger… the pass rusher?
Injuries have forced the San Francisco 49ers’ hand. Rookie Jaden Dugger, a collegiate safety turned linebacker—he was all-conference at both positions —is now practicing with the defensive linemen. That’s what the battle of attrition has already done for the coaching staff. Dugger went from practicing with the off-ball linebackers to doing the same individual drills […]
49ers’ new return man? Deebo Samuel was among the league leaders in 2025
Special teams coordinator Brant Boyer spoke with the media on Monday. When asked how the competition for returners was going, he said, “I think [Jacob] Cowing, [Will] Pauling, and [Jordan] Watkins, all those guys are back there. Junior Bergen. There’s a big handful of guys, and hopefully they can make great decisions and catch the […]
Ji’Ayir Brown says the previous 49ers schemes didn’t want football players. Raheem Morris does
Steve Wilks, Nick Sorensen, Robert Saleh. One of those names is not like the others, though all three were the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinators each of the last three years. Wilks and Sorensen were fired after one year while Saleh left in the offseason to become head coach of the Tennessee Titans. That should […]
49ers News: This preseason is forecasted for some spectacular hype trains
Mike Evans misses 49ers practice as injuries threaten to derail punter battle (paywall) “The injury doesn’t appear to be a long-term concern. Evans watched practice in street clothes and did some light receiver drills during the special teams portion of practice. Two other receivers, Stribling (hamstring tightness) and Christian Kirk (calf strain), were seen sprinting […]
49ers fans believe we’ll see George Kittle playing before Mykel Williams
George Kittle continues to progress from his January surgery that repaired a torn right Achilles tendon. The San Francisco 49ers are kind of caught in limbo with what to do with Kittle, as it sounds like there is uncertainty whether Kittle will be ready for Week 1. And while he’s currently on the Active/PUP List, […]
49ers WR Mike Evans’ quad strain believed to be ‘not too serious’
The hits keep coming for the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Mike Evans isn’t practicing on Monday due to a quad strain. Rookie running back Kaelon Black has an adductor injury and will also miss Monday’s session. Depending on the grade of the strain, Evans could miss anywhere from one week to multiple months. If […]
Do the 49ers still need to improve their defense ahead of the season?
The San Francisco 49ers took multiple steps to improve their defense this offseason, adding key players both via free agency and the draft. San Francisco signed linebacker Dre Greenlaw back to pair with Fred Warner. They traded for Osa Odighizuwa to add a veteran at defensive tackle alongside second-year pros C.J. West and Alfred Collins. […]
49ers star Nick Bosa shares why he feels faster after his 3rd ACL injury
Sports’s Illustrated’s Albert Breer caught up with San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa, where they discussed surgery, rehab, and why Bosa jokingly could play for a handful more years at an elite level. Bosa said, “I had a little tendinitis from my high school ACL, and he cleaned that up while he fixed my […]
3 questions for the 49ers at running back
Running back was a revolving door for the San Francisco 49ers in the first few years of the Kyle Shanahan era. But that all changed when the 49ers acquired Christian McCaffrey in the 2022 season. Now, it’s hard for any running back not named McCaffrey to get consistent carries, and for good reason, with McCaffrey […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, Khalil Herbert
49ers sign RB Khalil Herbert and former Colts 6th-round edge rusher; waive Eli Apple“Herbert played sparingly in 2025 with the Jets. The 28-year-old was once viewed as a promising, big-play threat. He entered the NFL with 4.48 speed, but injuries have since zapped some of that explosive ability. Herbert will likely spell Kaelon Black and […]
49ers sign RB Khalil Herbert and former Colts 6th-round edge rusher; waive Eli Apple
The San Francisco 49ers have signed running back Khalil Herbert to a one-year deal. They’ve also added Titus Leo, a 6’3″, 245-pounder who was drafted in the sixth round by the Colts in the 2023 NFL Draft. Leo has only appeared in four games during his tenure, most recently appearing on the Eagles’ practice squad […]
49ers work out a pass rusher who used to play for Raheem Morris during his tenure with the Rams
The San Francisco 49ers knew they couldn’t go another practice with only two healthy bodies at edge rusher. Keion White has an adductor injury. Rookie Romello Height sat out of Saturday’s practice with an undisclosed injury after being carted off with cramps last week, while Cameron Sample was sidelined with a knee injury. Oh, and […]
The Golden Fool’s Mailbag: Mykel Williams/George Kittle return, 49ers injuries, Kyle Shanahan
Remember these? We’re digging back into the mailbag to answer your questions. The one answering them probably is the least insightful person on this site, but hey, we have fun doing it, right? So far, foot is in my mouth for De’Zhaun Stribling. I was very lukewarm on the pick initially and now I think […]
49ers News: More injuries. Checks calendar. Yup, it’s August alright
49ers’ Deebo Samuel arrives in ‘really good shape,’ makes waves in first practice (paywall)“The 49ers practiced without top pick De’Zhaun Stribling, who’s dealing with hamstring tightness. A team spokesman clarified that it’s not a hamstring strain that’s affecting the rookie receiver, who’s coming off a pair of impressive practices.” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan addresses team […]
49ers injuries: De’Zhaun Stribling has hamstring tightness; Keion White has an adductor issue
The San Francisco 49ers headed into Saturday’s practice thin at wide receiver. Ricky Pearsall’s season is over with a lingering PCL injury. Christian Kirk has a calf strain. According to the media on hand, rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling isn’t practicing due to hamstring tightness. This team cannot catch a break. There’s no need for […]
49ers’ former 1st-round pick Ricky Pearsall’s season is officially over
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that the team is placing wide receiver Ricky Pearsall on the season-ending Injured Reserve. Pearsall will have surgery on his PCL, and the recovery time is anywhere from 6 to 12 months. As Matt Maiocco pointed out a couple of days ago, the 49ers were hopeful that […]
Paraag Marathe is leaving the 49ers for Leeds United and Rangers FC

Adam Schefter: 49ers, Deebo Samuel have been talking for weeks
With Ricky Pearsall’s 2026 uncertain, the 49ers needed to prepare for the worst, and Deebo Samuel being signed Thursday was that preparation. According to Adam Schefter, it wasn’t so much of a knee-jerk reaction to Pearsall’s PCL injury as it may appear. Appearing on the Pat McAfee show, Schefter broke down what led to Samuel’s […]
Ricky Pearsall waiting to have surgery on PCL wasn’t avoidance; it was medically sound
Ricky Pearsall is currently out of the San Francisco 49ers’ training camp with a PCL injury, and initial reports say he might be out for much longer than that. While it did give us the return of Deebo Samuel to fill the wide receiver spot in an extended Pearsall absence, it’s rather concerning for Pearsall, […]
49ers News: If they’re not fighting, they’re not trying
49ers’ Kyle Shanahan remains active as an observer, has yet to miss a practice (paywall)“He watched for over an hour, scribbling notes between snaps, then jogged to the post-practice huddle to listen from the outskirts. At one point Shanahan also found himself no more than 10 yards from the loud music being pumped from a […]
San Francisco 49ers 2026 schedule and scores
The San Francisco 49ers are hoping a healthier season means a deeper playoff run in 2026. The first week of training camp has led to numerous injuries to key players. The 49ers are picking up where they left off, but not in the ways they had envisioned. The battle of attrition is inevitable in the […]
49ers LT Trent Williams is ‘trying to soak in every day’ in his final couple of years in the NFL
Not many players make it to ten years in the NFL and are still considered among the best at their positions. For Trent Williams, he’s entering Year 16 while being widely considered a top-5 left tackle. Williams spoke to the media earlier this week about whether his approach is changing heading into training camp as […]
49ers activate Alfred Collins from the Active/PUP List
The San Francisco 49ers are putting the pads on in full for the first time on Friday. Defensive tackle Alfred Collins will take part, as he’s recovered from shoulder surgery. Last Saturday, John Lynch anticipated Collins returning in the second window as long as Collins hit the markers he needed to return, which he apparently […]
49ers sign two more pass catchers on Friday after Deebo Samuel addition
On Thursday evening, the San Francisco 49ers brought back a very familiar face to their receiving core, signing wide receiver Deebo Samuel to a one-year, $7 million deal, ending his long-lasting free agency.
