49ers work out former Jaguars wide receiver with Mike Evans banged up
On Monday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided a few injury updates. Mike Evans’ rib injury “shouldn’t be long-term,” as the team evaluated him throughout the week. It’s unlikely that we’ll see Evans in Week 4, which means Brock Purdy and the offense will be missing the 6’5″ wideout who was objectively the […]
Week 5 schedule flex impacts 49ers-Seahawks game
The 49ers’ game with the Seattle Seahawks was already set to be one of the biggest of Week 5 of the NFL season. Now it will be subject to more eyeballs after the NFL made a change to the schedule that week. The league is bumping the Chicago Bears’ game with the Green Bay Packers […]
Brock Purdy, the NFL’s most underappreciated player
After three weeks, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is second in MVP odds on FanDuel Sportsbook. Obviously, a lot can change between now and the end of the season, but Purdy gaining recognition after only one national spotlight game where he wasn’t asked to do much is a good sign. Kyle Shanahan said Purdy […]
The 49ers’ injuries aren’t sustainable, but Brock Purdy might make them survivable
The 49ers dodged several bullets with their injuries in their Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Having lost defensive end Nick Bosa to a calf injury last week week — with the star pass rusher likely looking at around a month on the sideline — the 49ers saw several other key players go down […]
Why didn’t George Kittle take a knee? Kyle Shanahan didn’t tell him to
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals Sunday 36-30 and as the Cardinals went to their onside kick in an attempt to win the game, one question entered my mind: What was George Kittle doing running that final touchdown into the end zone? The touchdown is nice. Especially when Brock Purdy scored one two […]
Kyle Shanahan explains why he was impressed with 49ers’ depleted D-Line in Week 3
It’s no secret that the 49ers are extremely thin on the defensive line, and the pressure numbers from their Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals reflect that. Per Pro Football Focus, the 49ers managed only 12 pressures of Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett, getting home on two as Ogbo Okoronkwo and Keion White recorded sacks. […]
Kyle Shanahan puts Brock Purdy in company with former MVP after win
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has opened the 2026 season playing the best football of his career, as the offense has been on a tear through three games. Purdy has thrown for 789 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception, while rushing for 93 more yards and another score. He’s completing 72.3 percent of his […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, Matthew Judon!
Injury depleted 49ers sign pass rusher Matt Judon to shore up defensive line (paywall)“Judon had 5.5 sacks in 2024 with the Falcons, when 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris was Atlanta’s head coach. Judon’s last Pro Bowl season was in 2022 with the Patriots, when he had a career-high 15.5 sacks, ranking fourth in the NFL.” […]
Bears-Eagles game thread: A couple of potential 49ers playoff opponents
The Chicago Bears host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The Bears will be without star quarterback Caleb Williams, who appeared to have suffered a life-threatening injury based on the way he reacted, but should only be out in the short term. The San Francisco 49ers face the Philadelphia Eagles in January. It would […]
Mykel Williams’ practice window set to be opened, 49ers get good news on veteran trio
After a Week 3 victory during which it seemed like the 49ers’ injuries were reaching critical mass, San Francisco got several pieces of good news on Monday. Veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, left tackle Trent Williams and Dre Greenlaw all left the win over the Arizona Cardinals with injuries, adding to the concerns for a […]
Mike Evans is considered ‘day-to-day’ with rib injury
The 49ers will be breathing a sigh of relief after getting good news regarding the injury to wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans left the 49ers’ Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals with two minutes left in the half following a collision with Budda Baker. The future Hall of Famer was clearly in considerable pain […]
The 49ers are signing a four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher to their practice squad
The 49ers are adding to a pass rush decimated by injuries, with four-time Pro Bowler Matthew Judon set to provide a veteran presence on the defensive front. Judon is signing with the 49ers’ practice squad, the team confirmed following a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. He will reunite with San Francisco’s defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, […]
49ers grades vs. Cardinals: The offensive line is officially a strength
If the San Francisco 49ers make the playoffs, nobody will look back and say, “Well, they almost lost in Week 3!” You can’t say the same about the other two playoff contenders in the division. Winning is all that matters. Here’s how the 49ers got there. Let’s hand out some positional grades. Quarterback: A If […]
One potential Mac Jones suitor is off the board after trading for J.J. McCarthy
The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero broke the news that the New York Giants are trading for Minnesota Vikings backup J.J. McCarthy. Reports surfaced on Sunday that the Giants were interested in San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones, but there were three other quarterbacks: McCarthy, Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo, Justin Fields, and Gardner Minshew. The Giants’ offensive coordinator, […]
3 stars from the 49ers’ resilient win: George Kittle makes a statement
It wasn’t the prettiest. It wasn’t the easiest. But at the end of the day, they don’t ask how; they ask how many. And now the answer is three, with the San Francisco 49ers moving to 3-0 after a 36-30 Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. It felt early on the 49ers would run […]
49ers vs. Broncos Week 4 odds: Will good offense beat good defense?
What a wild Week 3. The San Francisco 49ers sit atop the NFC West, thanks to a second-half collapse by the Rams and a Seahawks wire-to-wire loss to the Commanders. Every game but two was decided by one possession. That’s the NFL in a nutshell. Whatever you learned about a team last week, forget it. […]
NFC West Recap: 49ers win and take first place; Cardinals, Rams, and Seahawks all lose
It was a great week of football for San Francisco 49ers fans. The 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals 36-30, while the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, and Cardinals all lost.

49ers news: Deebo Samuel sets a bizarre record with his touchdown
Nothing like the NFL. We all predicted the Seahawks would lose, or the Rams would blow a two-touchdown lead. The San Francisco 49ers beating the Cardinals was expected, but it didn’t go nearly as smoothly as everyone had hoped. But a win is a win, and Week 3 proved that just because you are a […]
3 quick takeaways from 49ers narrow win over Cardinals: Health is becoming a problem

Brock Purdy bails out the 49ers’ defense in a shootout win over the Cardinals
The San Francisco 49ers are quickly becoming synonymous with fireworks, the way they’ve been lighting up the scoreboard. The offense didn’t take long to get going. Deebo Samuel opened the scoring on a hook-and-ladder from Mike Evans. That would’ve been the fastest clocked time by a 49ers ball carrier in 2025. After the defense recorded […]
49ers-Cardinals game thread: Can the Niners overcome all the injuries?
Injuries have been the theme of any San Francisco 49ers discussion, and that predates this season. They’ve been tested the first two weeks, but never in ways like they will today. It’s one thing to lose multiple defensive linemen. It’s another to lose that depth and your best player, Nick Bosa. Raheem Morris will attempt […]
Jordan Watkins is active for the first time this season
The San Francisco 49ers’ inactive list is out. As expected, Mike Evans will play through a hip injury. The offense may lean on Evans even more after the recent injuries to De’Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson. With the top of the depth chart banged up, second-year wideout Jordan Watkins is active for the first time. […]
49ers’ Mac Jones is among the 5 quarterbacks the Giants are considering after Jaxson Dart’s injury
Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo, and Adam Schefter reported that the New York Giants are considering San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones as an option after Jaxson Dart was recently ruled out for the rest of the regular season with a knee injury. Former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is among the quarterbacks the Giants are interested […]
49ers numbers to know: The Cardinals have a long NFC West streak on the line
After a dominating Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins, the San Francisco 49ers return to NFC West play against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Cardinals could have had some momentum coming into Week 3 after their “upset” win in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but all that came to a halt […]
