Romello Height becomes the latest 49ers’ rookie to suffer an injury
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates Monday afternoon. Wide receiver Mike Evans will be managed throughout the week with a hip injury: “Mike’s gotten a lot of work here in the last couple weeks. He’s been able to practice each day since us going down to Australia and last week, but […]
Who should the 49ers look to bring in at wide receiver?
The good: The San Francisco 49ers had a dominant 35-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The bad: They lost another wide receiver to injury. Demarcus Robinson was carted off with what Kyle Shanahan says is a high-ankle sprain. Mike Evans also left due to a hip issue, but Shanahan didn’t seem too concerned. […]
8 winners that helped the 49ers beat up on the Dolphins: There are no losers when you win by 22
The San Francisco 49ers have outscored their opponents by 42 points through two weeks. That’s at least two touchdowns better than the next team. The Miami Dolphins did their best to play keepaway in the first half, but they couldn’t control the ball in the second half, and that’s when things got out of hand. […]
2 games into the season, here’s what the tape is telling us about the 49ers
Whenever we go over a San Francisco 49ers loss (which hasn’t happened yet this season), I like to say it’s not that they lost, but how they lost. The same can be true about winning, and the 35-13 victory over the Dolphins is a perfect game to look at how they won, especially when you […]
49ers snap counts: Raheem Morris is adapting to his personnel
The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Miami Dolphins. It’s not often the scoreboard tells the full story, but they beat up on the Fins as much as 35-13 indicates. It was a relatively clean game for the Niners in all three phases. Any concerns about jet lag and an emotional letdown were quelled after the […]
The 3 biggest stars from the 49ers’ home opener: No rust for George Kittle
The San Francisco 49ers took care of business, and that’s all you need to know about their home opener on Sunday. The 49ers demolished the Miami Dolphins 35-13 in a game the Dolphins never had a chance in. Miami opened the game with a field goal, but the 49ers went on to outscore them 35-10 […]
49ers News: The first of hopefully many Victory Mondays this season
Starting off the week with a Niners victory never. Gets. Old. What a fun win. Brock Purdy is HOOPING. He’s hitting spin moves, he’s letting it rip, he looks really loose yet also dialed in at the same time. It looks like the game’s slowing down for him. What a joy it is to have […]
3 quick takeaways from the 49ers’ runaway win over the Dolphins
The San Francisco 49ers entered the weekend as the biggest favorite in Week 2, and they played like it, dominating the Miami Dolphins 35-13 to start the season 2-0. In a slower-paced game, the 49ers scored touchdowns on each of their first five drives, including three in the third quarter, as their offense could not […]
49ers injury updates: 2 players likely suffered high-ankle sprains
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on wide receivers Mike Evans and Demarcus Robinson. Evans left Week 2 with a hip injury. Despite leaving, Evans stayed on the sideline with his helmet. That’s usually a sign that a player can return. Shanahan said if the game were different, Evans could have […]
Brock Purdy was nearly perfect in the 49ers’ blowout win over the Dolphins
The worry that the San Francisco 49ers wouldn’t have the same energy as in Week 1 was on display from the start. Fred Warner forced a fumble on the second play from scrimmage, but it came on a pass that gained 18 yards. De’Von Achane strung together a few positive gains, but a penalty left […]
49ers lose another receiver as Demarcus Robinson was carted to the locker room
When it rains, it pours. The San Francisco 49ers haven’t been on the right side of any injury luck under Kyle Shanahan. Ricky Pearsall, Christian Kirk, and De’Zhaun Stribling were arguably going to be three of the top four receivers heading into the regular season. Pearsall is out for the year. Kirk is on injured […]
49ers-Dolphins game thread: A sluggish start to the home opener?
The San Francisco 49ers’ home opener is here, and it’s against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said it took him a couple of days to shake the jet lag, but he felt back to normal by the time the team returned to practice on Wednesday. It would make sense for the Niners to […]
49ers inactives: Kaelon Black and Eddy Pineiro will play today
The San Francisco 49ers inactive list is out, and it is similar to last week’s: QB Kurtis Rourke (emergency QB)LB Tatum BethuneWR Jordan WatkinsOT Enrique Cruz Jr.CB Ephesians Prysock That means running back Kaelon Black will play, despite being listed on the injury report this past week with a groin injury. It also means Eddy […]
The NFL will make a decision on any potential discipline for Jed York ‘soon’
San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York will miss his second game in a row, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. York didn’t make the trip with the team to Australia and will now miss the 49ers’ home opener. He’s staying away to avoid any distractions, per Schefter. York pleaded to two misdemeanor charges on August 24 […]
3 keys to a Niners win over the Dolphins: Gotta stop the rushing quarterback
The San Francisco 49ers return to Levi’s Stadium for the first time this season when they take on the Miami Dolphins at home in Week 2. They’re a massive 13.5-point favorite following their 27-7 thrashing of the Los Angeles Rams this week, with their opponent being one of the worst teams on paper in the […]
49ers News: Game day
I can’t wait to see how Connor Colby and Jake Brendel handle the Miami Dolphins defensive line, how the 49ers secondary takes care of the Dolphins offense, and whether the 49ers throttle up or down. It’s natural to let your guard down, being in their position, so we will learn a lot about this team today. […]
49ers promote DL to active roster after moving De’Zhaun Stribling to IR
The San Francisco 49ers officially moved De’Zhaun Stribling to Injured Reserve after head coach Kyle Shanahan announced earlier this week that he’d miss close to 10 weeks with his ankle injury. The move allowed the 49ers to promote defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo to the active roster ahead of the team’s Week 2 game against the […]
Eddy Pineiro will kick for 49ers against the Dolphins
The San Francisco 49ers worked out two kickers on Saturday. Veterans Greg Joseph and Younghoe Koo. Joseph, 32, last kicked in 2018. He has more recent punting experience, which came in 2023. Koo was most recently with the Giants in 2025. Raheem Morris knows Koo well, as he was the Falcons kicker from 2018 through […]
How has the jet lag impacted the 49ers this week ahead of Dolphins game?
The San Francisco 49ers have had a different week of preparation than usual ahead of their Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins, as they’ve had to deal with the aftermath of their Australia travel. After their Thursday night game last week, the 49ers are back to playing on Sunday this week, and head coach […]
How Brock Purdy’s story as the 49ers’ starting quarterback began with the Dolphins
The San Francisco 49ers will host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, and the last time they hosted the Dolphins was a turning point in 49ers history. That was when injuries thrust Brock Purdy into the starting quarterback role. Fans had seen Purdy take the field before, either in mop-up duty (Arizona Cardinals) or when the […]
49ers News: Eddy Pineiro remains the league’s sickest kicker
Mobile quarterbacks have always stressed the 49ers’ defense. It feels like, to me, no matter the coordinator or the personnel, they’re always getting gashed by running QBs. That’s why I’m only “very confident” rather than “extremely confident” against the Miami Dolphins. Malik Willis is no Josh Allen, but he can make things happen if you’re […]
The 49ers might need a temporary kicker with Eddy Pineiro’s illness
Kyle Shanahan provided the San Francisco 49ers’ final injury report ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling is the only player ruled out. The 49ers will likely place him on the Injured Reserve when they make their roster moves on Saturday. Until Stribling is placed on the […]
49ers vs. Dolphins preview: Trap games don’t exist in September
The San Francisco 49ers “upset” the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. If you’ve watched sports long enough, you know that when the talk is so one-sided about one team, the other team usually prevails. That was true in Australia in Week 1, but the Niners find themselves on the other side of the talking […]
3 things to watch for in 49ers-Dolphins: The under center movement will continue
The San Francisco 49ers are home again, and the Miami Dolphins are in town for the home opener at Levi’s Stadium. The performance from the 49ers in Australia has reminded some folks about how loaded the team still is, and somehow, the team was overlooked. Now, the team looks to remain undefeated and build on […]
George Kittle coins a new nickname for the 49ers after a dominant performance against the Rams
The YAC bros are so 2020. That’s a thing of the past. The San Francisco 49ers had the Rams chasing their tails in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams because of their overdose of “dash” motion, when a player is still going in motion at the snap. The 49ers offense featured motion at the […]
