49ers injury updates: The wait continues for Brandon Aiyuk; Ricky Pearsall’s status remains up in the air
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Mykel Williams has a torn ACL injury: I believe there was a lateral meniscus also, but they said it was, however it’s worded, but it was a good one. I mean, it wasn’t perfect because there was a lateral meniscus, but they feel good about it. His […]
It’s going to cost a lot to get Trey Hendrickson
The NFL Trade Deadline is just one day away, and the San Francisco 49ers’ biggest need may have become an even bigger priority over the weekend after defensive end Mykel Williams tore his ACL against the New York Giants. Prior to the injury, the 49ers already had depth concerns at the position after Nick Bosa […]
Report: Tests revealed what Kyle Shanahan was worried about on Sunday
After the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 9 win over the New York Giants, head coach Kyle Shanahan said, “We’re worried it’s an ACL” when referring to first-round pick Mykel Williams’ injury. Williams was well on his way to playing a season-high in snaps against the Giants. Even after injury, he ended up playing 50 percent […]
NFC Playoff Picture: The 49ers are sitting pretty with a near perfect conference record
There’s one NFC game remaining in Week 9, but it’s between teams ranked 11th and 14th. Even with a win, the Dallas Cowboys would be on the outside looking in of the playoff picture. Let’s look at the NFC Standings a week a day before the NFL’s trade deadline. NFC Playoff Picture We will break […]
Brian Robinson and Christian McCaffrey come to life as the 49ers dominate the Giants
After a disappointing Week 8 loss in Houston, the San Francisco 49ers bounced back and closed the quick two-game road trip with an impressive 34-24 win over the New York Giants. The 34 points were the 49ers’ highest output of the season so far, meaning all three stars will come from that side of the […]
NFL Trade Deadline Tracker: There are still plenty of pass rush options for the 49ers
The potential Miami Dolphins fire sale began on Monday morning. Jaelan Phillips reunited with former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. The Eagles acquired Phillips from Miami for a third-round pick. Phillips comes with immense pass-rush upside. Perhaps the dealbreaker for the San Francisco 49ers was that Phillips was under contract only for this season. Plus, he […]
49ers once again win despite meddling from officiating crew
It was not a good day for John Hussey’s officiating crew. One of the more noticeable things from the 49ers’ 34–24 win over the New York Giants on Sunday was how baffling some of the calls that fell on Hussey’s watch. The 49ers got away with a couple of things, too—notably a false start on […]
NFC rivals beat 49ers to trade for former first-round pass rusher
The pool of edge rush options for the 49ers at the trade deadline has decreased slightly. After landing Keion White last week, it is widely expected the 49ers will strike another trade on the defensive line, a possibility increased by the injury suffered to Mykel Williams in Sunday’s win over the New York Giants. Yet […]
49ers news: Another potential injury makes it tough to enjoy Victory Monday
49ers’ win has George Kittle dancing, but will ongoing injuries end the music? (paywall)“Yes, it came against the NFL’s 30th-ranked run defense. But it was reminiscent of Shanahan’s vaunted ground game that ranked fourth in the league in rushing from 2017-24. Kittle termed the drive “sick.” Shanahan said he considered calling a play-action pass in […]
Seahawks-Commanders thread: Jayden Daniels can do the 49ers a favor
Jayden Daniels returns for the Washington Commanders as they host the Seattle Seahawks. It’s Sam Darnold on the road against a team that brings pressure and will play a lot of man coverage. From a matchup standpoint, you can’t ask for a better team to play if you’re Washington. Seattle is off a bye week, […]
3 quick takeaways from the 49ers 34-24 win over the Giants: The offense is back
The San Francisco 49ers fought their way to another victory, beating the New York Giants 34-24 on the road to improve to 6-3 and remain firmly in the NFC West race. San Francisco came in with depth concerns along the defensive line and without Brock Purdy once again. And things looked on edge early, as […]
MetLife strikes again as the 49ers fear their first-round pick was lost to a season-ending injury
The San Francisco 49ers have had horrific luck at MetLife Stadium throughout the years. That luck did not get any better on Sunday against the New York Giants. Head coach Kyle Shanahan believes the 49ers may have lost first-round pick Mykel Williams to a torn ACL. He said, “We’re worried it’s an ACL, but you […]
49ers get their groove back in a blowout win over the Giants
The San Francisco 49ers gave up an opening drive touchdown, and the immediate thought was, “Here we go again.” The New York Giants marched 64 yards in ten plays that took just over four minutes off the clock to take an early 7-0 lead. Unlike last week, the offense punched back. They stayed on the […]
49ers-Giants game thread: Can the offense get right against New York?
Injuries on both sides may have robbed us of what could have been a heck of a game between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants. Recency bias would lead you to believe Jaxson Dart is about to have a field day against a defense that just gave up a handful of explosive plays […]

Golden Nuggets: A giant GAME DAY today
Are 49ers still looking for an edge? Five deals that make sense as deadline nears (paywall)“The price tag on the more-interesting Bradley Chubb is not steep at all — the prorated amount of the veteran’s minimum, thanks to a reworked contract — but the problem is the incentives and bonuses written back into the contract […]
49ers will have to wait to get a starter back on offense; Yetur Gross-Matos is headed to the IR
It has been a frustrating tenure with the San Francisco 49ers for edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos. He struggled to stay on the field during his first season as a Niner because of a lingering knee injury. Gross-Matos hasn’t played since Week 5, when he suffered a hamstring injury. After reportedly re-aggravating his hamstring injury during […]
Report: The 49ers have inquired about a trio of Bengals defenders
As you’d imagine, the San Francisco 49ers are active with the NFL’s trade deadline looming. We found out what the asking price was for a pair of potential edge rushers earlier this morning. Let’s talk about a team that has been linked to the Niners in more ways than one. Ever since the 49ers lost […]
3 keys to the 49ers win over the Giants: Time to unleash the run game
The San Francisco 49ers will take on the New York Giants in Week 9, looking to bounce back from a 26-15 loss to the Houston Texans last weekend. The 49ers had one of their worst defensive performances of the year, as they couldn’t get any pressure on C.J. Stroud, who had his best day of […]
Asking price for 49ers pass rush targets is Day 2 pick
The NFL trade deadline is rapidly approaching, and the rumor mill is churning, with the San Francisco 49ers expected to be buyers on Tuesday. San Francisco started things off with a trade for New England Patriots defensive lineman Keion White, sending a 2026 sixth-round pick and receiving a 2026 seventh-round pick as well. But, they […]
The Golden Fool’s Mailbag: What aren’t the 49ers saying about Brock Purdy’s injury? Should they trade Jauan Jennings or try for a comp pick? Giants gameplan?
Welcome back to another mailbag. This one comes after a strange loss to the Houston Texans. The 49ers are traveling to the East Coast again to face the New York Giants. I see the 49ers winning this one, but I’m not going to be surprised if some crazy shenanigans and injuries cost them the game. […]
Should the 49ers still look into Trey Hendrickson before trade deadline?
The San Francisco 49ers have been busy this week, acquiring Keion White in a trade with the New England Patriots and also bringing back a familiar face in Clelin Ferrell. Are they done? Who knows. They still have time before the November 5 NFL trading deadline to get a couple more bodies or maybe make […]
Golden Nuggets: November football is upon us
Source: Yetur-Gross Matos aggravates hamstring injury during 49ers practice“Gross-Matos, 27, a six-year NFL veteran, re-injured his hamstring in practice on Thursday and could be a candidate for injured reserve, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area.” Brock Purdy nearing 49ers return, could serve as Mac Jones’ backup QB vs. Giants“Purdy is still not all the […]
Kyle Shanahan underlines the challenge facing rookie Jordan Watkins
There was a substantial amount of hype around Jordan Watkins heading into preseason after the fourth-round pick’s strong performances in OTAs and training camp. Following an encouraging showing in the preseason opener, Watkins has essentially had no opportunities to justify that hype, with a succession of injuries keeping the wide receiver from making his 49ers’ […]
49ers injury updates: Mac Jones will start against the Giants; Brock Purdy is ‘getting closer’
Local and national media had been hinting leading up to Friday that the San Francisco 49ers would go another game with Mac Jones under center, as Brock Purdy fully recovers from a turf toe injury he suffered in Week 4. During a radio interview on KNBR Thursday afternoon, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan explained the […]
