John Lynch shares why the 49ers hit on a ‘real high rate’ on their late-round picks
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined Chriss Simms on the Unbuttoned podcast to discuss injuries, late-game management, and changes in defensive back play. Lynch also spoke about how the 49ers’ draft strategy changed and why they needed to add length to the defensive line: I think first of all, nobody’s perfect in the draft. It’s […]
49ers News: Thank you Denver!
A big development in the AI space is that neurons are now legible. With all these advancements in science and technology, we might finally come closer to understand what the hell is going on in Kyle Shanahan’s brain. I’m so grateful we have the football version of Leonardo Da Vinci coaching my favorite football team. […]
Seattle Seahawks vs. Denver Broncos Game Thread: We in for a snooze fest?
The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football in a game between the San Francisco 49ers’ last two opponents. The Seahawks are 3-2 after their loss to the 49ers on Sunday, while the Broncos are 3-2 after another uninspiring win, this time on the road over the 0-5 Los Angeles […]
49ers injury updates: Christian Kirk returns; Mike Evans is dealing with a new injury
The San Francisco 49ers promoted Ogbo Okoronkwo to the active roster and signed linebacker Eugene Asante to the practice squad. Asante will likely be elevated for Monday Night Football with Dre Greenlaw suspended and Garret Wallow dealing with a hamstring injury. Asante ran a 4.48 40-yard dash and had a 10-yard split in the 96th […]
49ers Stock Report: Evaluating the offensive line through five weeks
The San Francisco 49ers have seen many surprises over the first five weeks of 2026. The defensive line and pass rush have come alive without Nick Bosa; the 49ers’ secondary has developed, particularly Renardo Green; and despite multiple injuries in the wide receiver room, Mike Evans looks every bit the receiver he was in his […]
10 players on bad teams that could be of interest to the 49ers at the trade deadline
Five weeks into the NFL season, we’ve seen some teams establish themselves, while others have disappointed. The San Francisco 49ers are on the former side of that spectrum, impressing with a 5-0 start as they’ve beaten three playoff teams from a season ago, including the defending champion Seattle Seahawks last weekend. However, not every team […]
Brock Purdy can achieve an NFL first on Monday Night Football
Brock Purdy has had a phenomenal start to the season. While he hasn’t played faultless football, the 49ers quarterback clearly has taken his game to another level and, after key playmaking in a thrilling road win over the Seattle Seahawks, now leads the MVP race. Purdy leads the NFL in passing touchdowns (13), success rate […]
Is it time for the 49ers to finally go all in?
At 5-0, the San Francisco 49ers are enjoying one of their best starts under head coach Kyle Shanahan, especially when considering they’ve beaten three potential Super Bowl contenders through five weeks. The offense has been clicking behind MVP frontrunner Brock Purdy, who has thrown for 1,196 yards, 13 touchdowns, and two interceptions, while completing 69.0 […]
49ers News: Go Broncos
It’s only October and the Seahawks might be THREE games behind the 49ers??? We have a lot of season left but man… really pulling for DJ Jones to replicate the success that Gracen Halton and Osa Odighizuwa had against Seattle’s interior. They’ll need it without Pat Surtain and Hufanga playing. Five reasons why 49ers are […]
Why Raheem Morris has quickly become a ‘great fit’ with 49ers as DC
The San Francisco 49ers have had a bevy of strong defensive coordinators in the Kyle Shanahan era. It all started with Robert Saleh, one of the best defensive minds in the NFL, who has since been hired as a head coach twice after stints in San Francisco. The 49ers then had DeMeco Ryans, who quickly […]
49ers rookie report: The long-term upside is there for this class
The San Francisco 49ers have relied on rookies to play at a high level this season. So far, they have not disappointed. There will be inevitable growing pains. That’s par for the course when you’re talking about first-year players. But this draft class looks to have a few hits and potential long-term starters. Here is […]
5 questions with Andrew York of Hogs Haven: How is Adam Peters viewed three years in?
The San Francisco 49ers face off with the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, and there is no shortage of storylines ahead of the primetime matchup. Remember Brandon Aiyuk? Yeah, he’s still neither a Commander or 49er. What about Javon Kinlaw’s time in Washington? Has Adam Peters turned Washington around? I asked Andrew York of […]
NFL insider on the 49ers’ WR trade market: ‘The issue is the amount of roster spots you’re allotting to the position’
We spent Tuesday afternoon discussing potential trade targets for the San Francisco 49ers at wide receiver. Getting Mike Evans help feels like a priority. But the team has to balance that with what it would do when everyone is healthy. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer answered the question in his weekly mailbag about the Niners potentially […]
Week 6 NFL Power Rankings: Are the 49ers the unquestioned best team in the NFL?
The San Francisco 49ers continued stacking up wins on Sunday, this time beating the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 in a thriller that went down to the final possession.

49ers News: We’re on to Washington
The Commanders are a fascinating team. The same guys that beat Seattle also just tied the New York Giants. At 1-3-1, they’ll be desperate to save their spiraling season. A win on national TV against the hottest team in the league would be exactly what the doctor ordered for them. With Sonny Styles leading the […]
3 trade targets at WR for the 49ers: A realistic, best-fit, and pipe dream
The San Francisco 49ers are hurting at the wide receiver position. Being down to Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks as your top two targets sounds better in 2018, but the 49ers found a way to survive in Seattle with the two veterans. Evans is still a top-end receiver. However, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins will […]
49ers report card, grades: The defensive line saved their best game in years for the Seahawks
The San Francisco 49ers took an early lead over the Seattle Seahawks, then the teams traded the lead for the next three and a half quarters before the Seahawks failed to score on the final drive.

Kyle Shanahan praises Raheem Morris for providing critical confidence boost
With the 49ers coming off their best defensive performance of the season in their biggest game of the year so far, it’s no surprise there is a lot of praise coming the way of coordinator Raheem Morris. The 49ers’ outstanding defensive showing in the thrilling win over the Seattle Seahawks — which saw San Francisco […]
What is the 49ers plan at receiver without Deebo Samuel?
The San Francisco 49ers lost another piece of their offensive core when Deebo Samuel went down with a hamstring injury against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Samuel, 30, had been looking to hit the edge before pulling up and fumbling on a non-contact play. He’ll now miss a few weeks, only adding to the […]
NFC West Recap: 49ers take two-game lead; Seahawks, Cardinals, and Rams lose
5-0 Always the best way to start these. The San Francisco 49ers are undefeated and have now collected three wins in the NFC West, two of which are away games. If you told me they were going to be 5-0, but they’d have the injuries they have, I’d have a hard time believing it. But […]
49ers News: Still coming down from the game
Deebo Samuel’s injury makes Brandin Cooks next man up at WR: 49ers minutia minute (paywall) “Colby had his roughest game of the year, allowing a team-high six quarterback pressures. His main opponent, Byron Murphy II, had two sacks. Colby allowed one of the two, although Purdy was forced to step forward into the second. That […]

Deebo Samuel is expected to miss a ‘couple of weeks’ with a hamstring injury
The San Francisco 49ers will be down another wide receiver for “at least a couple of weeks”, according to Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan said Samuel “got pretty good” when speaking about his injury. The 49ers face the Commanders and Falcons before their bye week. It’s reasonable to assume we won’t see Deebo until after the Niners’ […]
Dre Greenlaw was suspended for violating the ‘principles of sportsmanship’
The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw for one game after a headbutt on Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones: According to the league, Greenlaw was in violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which applies to “any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.” Greenlaw will be eligible […]
