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 […]
49ers-Titans joint practice roundup: Brock Purdy continues to shine
The San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans held a joint practice in Santa Clara on Tuesday. We’ll round up a bunch of tweets and react. According to everybody in attendance, there were at least eight scuffles, with most of them coming in the first ten minutes of action. Fred Warner said, “No, I promise,” when […]
Kyle Shanahan isn’t concerned about Nick Bosa and Christian McCaffrey’s injuries
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided updates about some of the team’s top players. Nick Bosa has missed several practices in a row after dealing with some soreness. No concerns about Bosa or McCaffrey’s injuries Shanahan said it’s nothing more than that: “Just soreness. Tendinitis. It’s a pretty normal thing with ACLs. Just […]
Renardo Green offseason work included talking to former All Pro cornerback
When it comes to the San Francisco 49ers and their secondary, it looks like it’ll be much of the same in 2026, as the 49ers brought back each of their five starters while electing not to make any significant additions in the room. At cornerback, the 49ers are projected to start Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo […]
49ers release their first unofficial depth chart for the preseason opener
The San Francisco 49ers released their first unofficial depth chart ahead of their preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans. Fans aren’t interested in seeing the starters, according to our FanDuel Sportsbook poll from last week: That’s not too surprising. We don’t need to see players in August. We need to see them in January. Risking […]
Trent Williams promises 49ers’ rookie De’Zhaun Stribling will be a ‘player’
ESPN’s Dan Graziano spent a day at the San Francisco 49ers’ training camp and spoke to Trent Williams after practice. Williams explained how last year’s success injected even more confidence into the locker room: “I think that year did so much good for us, just in the belief and the culture and in the locker room. Because […]
Report: There’s a ‘high level of confidence’ that George Kittle plays in Week 1
We are less than a month away from the season opener for the San Francisco 49ers, and the injury bug has been hitting the team hard in training camp. At times over the last few days, there have been 20 players out of practice, forcing the team to continuously work out other players and sign […]
49ers News: Camp highlights are cool… Now do it against TEN
49ers guard Dominick Puni wondered if he’d peaked. Then he found a fix (paywall)“A coach tells you, ‘Man, if you keep doing that, you’re probably not going to get away with it much longer,’” Puni said. “But if it’s working, in my head, you’re just going to keep doing it. It’s hard to listen when […]
49ers hold tryouts for 2 running backs; have a visit with another who ran a 4.39 40-yard dash
The San Francisco 49ers held tryouts for running backs Nyheim Miller-Hines and Zamir White on Monday, per the NFL’s transaction wire. They also hosted running back Blake Watson on a visit. This comes after the Niners were without Christian McCaffrey on Monday, as he sat out of practice due to tightness. With a joint practice […]
49ers training camp battles: Left guard is ‘definitely an open competition’
San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak was asked about the left guard spot after Monday’s practice. Connor Colby lined up with the first team during the first block of practices. Since then, it’s been Robert Jones. According to Kubiak, it’s “definitely still an open competition. Those guys are going to compete all camp.” Kubiak […]
49ers’ Christian McCaffrey is sitting out of practice due to ‘tightness’; Deebo Samuel gets running back reps
It’s Monday, and the San Francisco 49ers are returning to the practice field. It’s a big week, as it’s officially preseason. The team will hold a joint practice on Tuesday and then a glorified scrimmage for their first preseason game Thursday. One player we’re unlikely to see is running back Christian McCaffrey. And that was […]
49ers bubble watch: One rookie whose job is in jeopardy
You can watch all of the college film, ask their coaches, and dig into their background, but you’ll never know the kind of prospect you’re getting until they are in your building. In the case of San Francisco 49ers fifth-round pick Enrique Cruz Jr., he’ll need a strong preseason to make the roster. Is Enrique […]
Kyle Shanahan reveals 49ers plan at WR without Ricky Pearsall
The San Francisco 49ers have been quite banged up with injuries during training camp this offseason, but none were more significant than Ricky Pearsall’s nagging PCL injury that is now expected to cost him the rest of the 2026 season. Pearsall’s early career has unfortunately been marred by injuries to this point, and his loss […]
