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

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 […]
The Giants ruled out 3 key starters against the 49ers
Brian Daboll’s New York Giants will be even more shorthanded than they initially were against Kyle Shanahan’s banged-up San Francisco 49ers. Their final injury report is out: Out: CB Paulson Adebo (knee)CB Cor’Dale Flott (concussion)DL Chauncey Golston (neck)CB Art Green (hamstring) Doubtful: TE Daniel Bellinger (neck)T Jermaine Eluemunor (pec) Questionable: S Jevón Holland (knee)CB Rico […]

3 reasons why this week is a potential get-right spot for the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants have some similarities this season. They’re both coming off their worst loss of the season, at least in terms of point differential, because the Giants’ worst loss of the season was when they allowed 33 fourth-quarter points to the Broncos. Both teams are dealing with injuries to […]
5 Questions with Big Blue View: Could the 49ers be facing a future teammate in Week 9?
The 49ers are aiming to bounce back from a hugely underwhelming Week 8 display when they face the New York Giants on the road. San Francisco is favored to improve to 6-2, but victory is far from a given for the 49ers considering their injuries and the issues that are afflicting them on both sides […]
3 things to watch for in 49ers-Giants: Run the football, Kyle
The San Francisco 49ers look to get back into the win column with a trip to the Meadowlands to square off with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The last visit to MetLife was during 2020, and while the 49ers left with a victory, it came at the expense of a season-ending injury to […]
Golden Nuggets: Brocktober 2025 was all tricks, no treats
49ers QB Brock Purdy doing more at practice this week as recovery continues“Brock is getting better. I know that,” 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said on Thursday, before the team was set to practice. “He’s doing more this week. He’s taking a few more reps. We’ll let the week play out and see how it goes.” […]
49ers Injury Report: Brock Purdy remains limited, several players return to practice
The San Francisco 49ers are nearing their Week 9 contest against the New York Giants on Sunday, and the injury report has been revealed for Thursday’s practice. Brock Purdy remained a limited participant in practice. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak was mum on who the starter would be against the Giants, while pointing out that Purdy […]
Robert Saleh provides update on injured 49ers DL
The San Francisco 49ers have been spread thin across the defensive line recently, losing several rotational pieces to multi-week injuries. San Francisco has been without defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, who suffered a hamstring injury and hasn’t played since Week 5. Then, Bryce Huff suffered a hamstring injury on the final defensive play against the Atlanta […]
Kyle Shanahan on the 49ers rookies: ‘They’ve kind of exceeded expectations to tell you the truth’
For much of the season, the San Francisco 49ers have been in the top three when it comes to playing time for rookies. Nobody would have guessed that Connor Colby would have played the most snaps among all of the first-year players through eight weeks. And if you thought Marques Sigle would be second, you’re […]
John Lynch compares Ricky Pearsall’s injury to another star receiver that missed 6 games
The San Francisco 49ers haven’t had their 2024 first-round pick in a month. Despite missing the previous four games, Ricky Pearsall is still 29th in total EPA among all wide receivers and seventh in DVOA. Pearsall bailed out the 49ers’ offense when they were stagnant. They haven’t had the same luxury in October. Not having […]
Eddy Pineiro does something no 49ers kicker has done since 2019
Eddy Pineiro has still only missed one kick since signing with the 49ers, and he received recognition for his consistency on Thursday. Pineiro has yet to miss a field goal in his time with San Francisco, going 17 for 17, with his sole failure coming on his opening extra point for the team back in […]
John Lynch addresses possibility of 49ers making another trade before deadline
The 49ers have already made one trade they hope will improve a struggling defensive line with the acquisition of Keion White from the New England Patriots, but the consensus is they will try to strike another deal before Tuesday’s deadline. It is expected the defensive front will continue to be the focus for San Francisco. […]
John Lynch explains why the 49ers traded for Keion White
The San Francisco 49ers started the trade deadline carousel early, swinging a deal with the New England Patriots for defensive lineman Keion White, swapping 2026 sixth and seventh-round picks in the process. The 49ers needed defensive linemen after the season-ending injury to Nick Bosa, and that need was only exacerbated with the recent injuries to […]
49ers corner listed as top 5 ‘shutdown corner’ in NFL
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense didn’t have a great performance in the team’s 26-15 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, as they couldn’t contain quarterback C.J. Stroud, who had his best game of the year. Still, they’ve been one of the NFL’s best defenses this year, ranking inside the top 10 in points per […]
Golden Nuggets: Welcome back, Clelin!
Part of Keion White’s allure for 49ers? He’s healthy: ‘We need defensive linemen’ (paywall)“White has been most effective as interior defensive lineman, but he has been used mostly as a defensive end this season, playing 119 of his 123 snaps outside. White ranks last among 118 edge rushers, according to Pro Football Focus’ grading system.” […]
Shanahan: ‘I’d be very surprised if Jauan wasn’t on our team throughout this year’
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan stressed how injured wide receiver Jauan Jennings has been this season: Jauan’s been really hurt all year. I think he’s getting better. I think last week was a step in the right direction. Hopefully, he’ll be better this week. But Jauan’s been compromised on a lot of things. […]
Kyle Shanahan on Brock Purdy’s toe injury: ‘It’s not as black and white as you guys want it to be’
The San Francisco 49ers officially announced the signing of Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad. Additionally, offensive lineman Drew Moss was waived. Moss losing his job was the domino effect Kyle Shanahan was talking about. The team letting go of a guard from the active roster is a sign that Ben Bartch’s practice window isn’t […]
Power Ranking Roundup: Is it an overreaction to say the 49ers are cooked after a loss to the Texans?
Although the 49ers lost in Houston, the optimism around the team is growing following a trade for Keion White to help the defensive line, with more moves likely to be in the works. White, in tandem with the signing of Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad and another defensive lineman with Bryce Huff, and Yetur […]
ESPN hints at the 49ers trading one of their wide receivers
A headline that makes little sense, given the current state of the San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver room. Against the Houston Texans in Week 8, out of 29 total targets, only one wide receiver was targeted more than five times. In Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano’s weekly notebook, that receiver, Jauan Jennings, could be dealt […]
