5 49ers we need to see take the next step in 2026
Training camp is upon us, and with the San Francisco 49ers, that unfortunately includes injuries, which have come in bunches to start camp.

It’s […]
49ers’ Chris Foerster: ‘If you’re not practicing football hard, you can get through camp easily without injuries’

Breaking down the incentives in 49ers’ WR Deebo Samuel’s contract
Spotrac has an in-depth breakdown of Deebo Samuel’s contract and every incentive the San Francisco 49ers gave him.

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.
