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
Paraag Marathe has been with the San Francisco 49ers organization for 25 years. He’s held numerous high-ranking titles, like President, Executive Vice President, and Football Operations. He’s been a big part of the salary cap operations within the organization and is widely regarded as one of the most influential negotiators around the NFL. On Saturday […]
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. Samuel, 30, had spent the 2025 season with the Washington Commanders after getting traded there last offseason ahead of the final year […]
The 49ers are set to become the 4th team in the Super Bowl era to do this if Deebo Samuel starts
If signing Deebo Samuel is a 1-for-1 swap, the San Francisco 49ers are going from 25-year-old Ricky Pearsall to 30-year-old Deebo Samuel. Even if Samuel isn’t the starter and it’s Christian Kirk (turns 30 in November) or Demarcus Robinson (31), the Niners’ offense just got five or six years older. According to Josh Dubow of […]
49ers News: Welcome back, Deebo Samuel!
Why Deebo Samuel’s surprising return to Bay makes sense for receiver-needy 49ers“The agreement was reached with the free-agent wide receiver just one year after the team granted Samuel’s trade request with a deal that sent him to the Washington Commanders. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport was first to report the news of the agreement.” 49ers insider: […]
Deebo Samuel is back with the 49ers on a one-year deal
The San Francisco 49ers are bringing back an old friend. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is signing a 1-year deal worth up to $7 million. This comes after the news that Ricky Pearsall might not play in 2026. Earlier on Thursday, we asked what Deebo was up to. We’re about to find out. The “up to” […]
49ers work out 3 RBs, including former Bears starter
The San Francisco 49ers announced that they hosted three running backs for a workout on Thursday: Raheem Blackshear, Khalil Herbert, and Owen Wright. The news comes after second-year back Jordan James suffered a rib injury earlier this week during Monday’s practice, which will cause him to miss some time. James was projected as the team’s […]
3 Training Camp Notes from Day 3 of 49ers practice: What’s Deebo Samuel up to?
What would a training camp be for the San Francisco 49ers without a soul-crushing injury update? For the most part, the 49ers were healthy coming into camp. Even the players on the PUP list were not considered a big deal, with returns on the horizon for all four players. Fast forward to the day after […]
49ers insider says not to expect Ricky Pearsall to make any contributions in 2026
When the news came out that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall had knee swelling that concerned the team, it was easy for fans to think of the worst-case scenario immediately. How could you not with the way Pearsall’s career has started? He was shot in San Francisco as a rookie in an attempted […]
Klay Kubiak shares the benefits of the 49ers changing up their practice schedule
For several years under Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers typically practiced three days in a row. The team changed their schedule for this training camp. It’s technically the first week, and the 49ers practiced Sunday and Monday before having a “jog-thru” on Tuesday. They returned to the practice field on Wednesday and were given […]
Christian McCaffrey on 49ers rookie Kaelon Black: ‘I can’t say enough good things about him’
The San Francisco 49ers selected a running back in the third round that came with plenty of criticism. Kaelon Black didn’t start at Indiana. Most draft pundits had Black being selected later on in Day 3, if at all. The 49ers headed into training camp hoping Black could be a part of a three-back stable […]
Report: 49ers plan to sign former 3rd-round pick Josiah Deguara
The Athletic’s Matt Barrows tweeted that the San Francisco 49ers intend to sign tight end Josiah Deguara. He was drafted in the third round of the 2020 draft by the Green Bay Packers. Deguara has two seasons in the NFL where he had double-digit receptions, with the most recent one coming in 2022. He spent […]
