According to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, Craig disclosed that doctors believe his condition was caused, in part, by concussions he sustained during his 11-year NFL career.

San Francisco’s training camp has been characterized by injuries as much as by competition. On Wednesday, the 49ers finished practice without 20 players from their 90-man roster after defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu left with a suspected ankle injury. The receiver group has suffered some of the most significant setbacks, especially after Ricky Pearsall was ruled out for the season due to surgery for his lingering PCL injury.

SANTA CLARA — On Thursday, quarterback Brock Purdy had a sharp day at practice, as he routinely hit some big plays over the top of the 49ers’ defense.The defensive backfield got back at him on Saturday with a pair of pick-sixes from a couple key members of the team’s secondary.Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir and nickel back Upton Stout made the big plays against Purdy on the 49ers’ final practice before a scheduled day off on Sunday.During a red-zone session, Lenoir stepped in front of Purdy’s pass intended for Demarcus Robinson at the goal line.Once Lenoir secured the ball in his hands, he was o…

The San Francisco 49ers changed things up in their wide receiver room this offseason, and even since the start of training camp, this group looks quite different. Ricky Pearsall‘s season is already over thanks to a PCL injury that requires surgery, which prompted the front office to reunite with Deebo Samuel in free agency.On paper at least, one guy who entered training camp with long odds to make San Fran’s roster was veteran wideout Demarcus Robinson. However, all the changes have benefited the former Super Bowl champion, and it’s resulted in him going from being a cut candidate to a potenti…

SANTA CLARA — Kyle Shanahan has been forced to prioritize the importance of his duties as head coach of the 49ers over the past two weeks.On Saturday, he added the most public part of the job to his routine.

The San Francisco 49ers would love if the answer to their wide receiver problems came in the form of 2026 2nd-round pick De’Zhaun Stribling.Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley believes Stribling could be the player who picks up the slack for a disastrous free-agent signing (Brandon Aiyuk) and a disastrous 1st-round pick (Ricky Pearsall) — both of whom will be under contract with the 49ers this season but not playing in actual games.Buckley placed Stribling at the front of his list of the NFL’s “Top Sleeper Candidates” in 2026.“Rookie receivers haven’t always had the easiest time finding the field u…

Man, it’s overwhelming.”It was one of the more poignant moments in the history of induction speeches.

As if things couldn't get worse for the 49ers, the old division foe is threatening to end their season before it even starts.

The San Francisco 49ers have been defined by their injuries over the past two seasons, and early on in training camp, those woes have continued to plague the team. It’s still only August, but the number of players who are currently out of action for the 49ers during their practices is already relatively concerning.Of course, the Niners aren’t the only team that deals with these injury issues, as that is the nature of the game of football. One of the team’s old friends, offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson, has dealt with his fair share of injuries over the past year or so, but ahead of the 2026 c…

The devolution of the relationship between Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers has been well documented, but let's compile it all in one place.

Football is back, and as always, the preseason kicked off with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.The annual event also honors the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s newest class, which this year includes quarterback Drew Brees, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, kicker Adam Vinatieri, running back Roger Craig, and linebacker Luke Kuechly.Kuechly’s induction drew a reaction from San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who spent three seasons as his teammate with the Carolina Panthers from 2019 to 2021.McCaffrey’s Message to KuechlyMcCaffrey shared a heartfelt post on Instagram for the f…

The San Francisco 49ers have very notably been hit hard with injuries in the early going of training camp. In fact, they have been hit so hard with injuries that their joint practices with the Tennessee Titans may be in jeopardy, according to a few reports. The biggest positional group that has been hit with injuries has been the wide receivers, which puts more pressure on QB Brock Purdy to make plays in practice. However, Purdy has reportedly excelled without some of his top pass catchers, and it’s turning heads at 9ers camp. 49ers’ QB Brock Purdy Putting on Impressive Display at Camp, Despit…

As the old saying goes, once NFL players step onto the field at training camp, where you were drafted goes out the window.San Francisco 49ers wide receiver and 2024 4th-round pick Jacob Cowing might find that out the hard way this season, thanks to an unexpected and growing threat to his roster security.“Today I must discuss rookie WR Will Pauling, who’s another contender in the (punt returner) competition,” 49ers reporter David Lombardi wrote on his official X account on Friday. “Big catch-and-run today for the 5-9 Pauling, who was Notre Dame’s most reliable WR last year. Jacob Cowing on noti…

The 49ers have a significant problem on their hands, but whether they should act now or wait is a different issue entirely.

The San Francisco 49ers have enough established star power to potentially send several members of their current roster to Canton. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell believes three have essentially completed the job already.But his assessment gets considerably more interesting when it reaches Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa.Barnwell placed Mike Evans, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams in his “in” category when evaluating future Hall of Famers across the NFL on August 6, meaning he believes their existing résumés are already sufficient for eventual enshrinement.George Kittle and Fred Warner landed one tier bel…

According to one 49ers beat writer, Brock Purdy is having the best training camp of his still-young career, although there are still concerns.

Brock Purdy never ceases to amaze with his humility which bodes well for the future of the San Francisco 49ers.

A major concern (outside of the injuries) for the San Francisco 49ers ahead of the 2026 NFL season is whether the team improved its pass rush this offseason. Last season, the Niners struggled to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks after losing Nick Bosa to a season-ending injury. The 49ers are hoping that Bosa and Mykel Williams, along with drafting Romello Height, can be enough to uplift their sack total from last season. Ahead of San Francisco’s first preseason game on Aug. 13 against the Tennessee Titans, 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris shared his thoughts on Bosa and how he’s l…

SANTA CLARA — Romello Height now is preparing for the season alongside Nick Bosa, but just like when he was drafted, meeting the former Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year felt surreal.The third-round draft pick sat down with NBC Sports Bay Area for the “Meet The Rookies” series and explained his first encounter with the All-Pro.“The first few days I didn’t see him because I guess he wasn’t in the building,” Height said. “But when I did see him, and we had a chance to catch up, it was a shocking moment to be able to talk to Nick Bosa.“Defensive Rookie of the Year, big-time play…

The 49ers' recent reputation of being an injury-prone team paints an unfortunate picture that goes back years and needs further study.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling returned to practice Thursday after missing time with hamstring tightness, providing a positive development for a team dealing with multiple injuries. Although Stribling did not participate in team drills during his first day back, his return in a limited role suggests he could be back to full participation soon. Quarterback Mac Jones showered the undrafted rookie with praise, crediting Stribling’s blazing speed for turning him into one of training camp’s biggest surprises: “I call him The Flyin’ Hawaiian because he’s so fast. … The way he g…

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy appeared on yet another ranking of NFL QB's, and opinions of him may be changing.

The San Francisco 49ers are adding veteran help on the offensive line as their roster becomes 1 of the NFL’s biggest talking points due to ongoing, rampant injury issues.According to multiple reports, the 49ers signed 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive tackle Kion Smith on Thursday.“49ers sign Kion Smith to one-year deal, waive Colton Dowell,” NFL reporter Aaron Wilson wrote on his official X account on Thursday. Smith has been with the Miami Dolphins since 2021. He made his 1st 2 career starts in 2025, when he played in a career-high 14 games.The 49ers were only 7 practices into the season headed…

It’s been well documented and well covered out of the San Francisco 49ers‘ training camp that the team is dealing with a plethora of injuries. As training camp moves along and preseason games are right around the corner, it’s the time of camp when teams across the league will begin to have joint practices with teams in the area to see how the team is matching up with external competition in the early stages of the season. However, for the San Francisco 49ers, their joint practices with the Tennessee Titans could be in jeopardy due to an unexpected issue. More NFL on Heavy: San Francisco 49ers…

The 49ers have signed OL Kion Smith to a one-year deal and waived WR Colton Dowell.

ESPN's trade idea would bring saftety Jessie Bates II to the San Francisco 49ers, reuniting him with Raheem Morris.

SANTA CLARA — Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris appears to have unleashed the 49ers defensive backs and Mac Jones can sense the difference.Jones’ second play from scrimmage during team drills on Thursday was a pass intended for receiver Jordan Watkins. Defensive back Jack Jones jumped the route and intercepted the throw while his defensive teammates on the sidelines jumped up in celebration. “I feel like there’s a lot more plays being made on the ball compared to last year, which is a good thing,” Jones said after Thursday’s practice. “Just contested plays. They’ve done a good job over there…

Five potential Pro Football Hall of Famers. Zero championships in the last five seasons. That is the strange reality ESPN’s Bill Barnwell laid out for the 49ers in his annual look at which current NFL rosters are stacked with future Canton enshrinees.Barnwell places Mike Evans, Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey firmly in the “should get in” tier — Evans and Williams as near-automatic first-ballot selections, McCaffrey on the strength of multiple seasons as the league’s best running back despite his own injury history.George Kittle and Fred Warner sit just below them, both described as bei…

SANTA CLARA — Quarterback Brock Purdy has earned a nickname from Raheem Morris, the 49ers’ first-year defensive coordinator.And he also has earned immense respect from Morris, who has been impressed by watching him work up close.“The Layer King has some really intensive intensity, and I like that about him,” Morris said.“It’s really fun, some of those call-it periods. And you get a chance to go in the back with the offense, and you call your play and you listen to him and hear him operate.”Purdy, who thrives with the intermediate passing game, and those layered throws over linebackers and in f…

It already has been a busy offseason of retooling for the 49ers, and it hasn’t slowed down much now that NFL training camp is underway, with the return of Deebo Samuel being a notable addition of late.So why not dream of some other moves John Lynch and the 49ers’ front office could make before the start of the 2026 NFL season?On Wednesday, ESPN’s Seth Walder proposed five trades across the league, including one that would send a Pro Bowl safety to San Francisco.Walder suggested the 49ers should offer a 2027 third-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for safety Jessie Bates III and a 2…

Dre Greenlaw‘s tenure with the Broncos didn’t go as either side expected when the linebacker originally signed a three-year, $35 million contract with Denver.In fact, Greenlaw experienced some of the lowest moments of his NFL career when he left the 49ers after spending the first six years in the Bay.“There were some dark moments,” Greenlaw told The Athletic’s Michael Silver in a recent interview. “It’s tough, because I never got a chance to give them all I had. There’s so much anger, frustration, and you just want to go out there and prove [your worth] to everybody, but you can’t. There were…

The San Francisco 49ers chose not to bring in a big-name edge rusher this offseason and allowed the Houston Texans to scoop up a guy they should have signed.

The San Francisco 49ers have one of their top former wideouts back.The 49ers recently signed Deebo Samuel to a one-year, $4.1 million base contract that can reach $7 million with incentives. The move came shortly after it was announced that starting receiver Ricky Pearsall would miss the entire season due to a knee injury. Samuel spent the 2025 season with the Washington Commanders.Samuel was one of the 49ers’ top star players during their two Super Bowl runs in the John Lynch era, helping lead the way during the 2019 season and once again during the 2023 season. It was during the 2021 season…

The San Francisco 49ers are keeping their eyes open on potential wide receiver options on the free agency market.Shortly after the 49ers brought Deebo Samuel back after he spent one season with the Washington Commanders, San Francisco hosted veteran wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones for a workout on Wednesday. The 27-year-old receiver is best known for his tenure with the Cleveland Browns (2020-2023), with his best year coming in 2022 when he hauled in 61 catches for 839 yards and three touchdowns.Peoples-Jones wasn’t the only wide receiver that the 49ers hosted as they also had KhaDarel Hod…

San Francisco 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk likely won’t be playing for the Washington Commanders. On Aug. 5, the Commanders decided to sign veteran wideout Stefon Diggs, which probably puts an end to the Aiyuk speculation.The Commanders were the only team to have reported interest in Aiyuk, and it was a destination the 49ers wide receiver wanted to go to. Nonetheless, what might have put Washington off was the countless tirades that Aiyuk went on this summer. As a result, The Athletic’s Ted Nguyen believes that had Aiyuk not done that and gone about the process to get reinstated, he could’ve be…

The San Francisco 49ers have been one of the most injured teams in the league in recent years, and training camp has continued that trend. Their offense has been crushed, with Ricky Pearsall out for the year and Mike Evans already on the shelf. On Wednesday, the 49ers lost defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu to an injury, per The Athletic’s Matt Barrows. “The 49ers finished practice today without 20 players from their 90-man roster. Sam Okuayinonu went off the field with an apparent ankle issue, depleting an already thin position for SF,” Barrows reported. With 20 players already on the shelf, th…

The 49ers have finally come to grips with something they should've known long ago.

Brock Purdy stayed efficient, Jordan Watkins made the most of his opportunities, and the defense continued creating turnovers at the SAP Performance Facility.

San Francisco 49ers safety Ji'Ayir Brown's recent comments certainly felt like a jab at Robert Saleh.

Even the infamous “Electrical Substation” parody account had enough by Wednesday afternoon — injuries have really done their worst to the San Francisco 49ers in training camp.Another critical name was added to the list on Wednesday when 10-time Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk was out with a fractured finger.“No practice today for Kyle Juszczyk, who broke his finger,” 49ers reporter David Lombardi wrote on his official X account on Wednesday. The 49ers are only 7 practices into the season headed into Thursday.“By the end of Wednesday’s practice, the Niners had 20 players (including the 3 on PUP…

San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey isn’t concerned with the discussions surrounding his upcoming 30th birthday. During training camp, ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reported that McCaffrey dismissed outside commentary about the longevity of running backs, emphasizing that age is just a number. He made it clear that his primary focus is on continual growth. McCaffrey expressed gratitude for his career and stated he has no intention of slowing down as he prepares for the upcoming season. That sharp focus is already yielding positive results on the practice field. Vic Tafur shared upd…

If the San Francisco 49ers want more depth at tight end, they don't have to look very far.

The San Francisco 49ers have ended their brief relationship with former Cincinnati Bengals fourth-round pick Cameron Sample. San Francisco announced on August 5 that it waived Sample while making room for two new veteran additions. The move came less than four months after the 49ers signed the defensive lineman to a one-year contract on April 13. Sample’s departure follows a knee issue that recently kept him out of training-camp practice. The 49ers described the transaction simply as a waiver, rather than a waiver with an injury designation, so the team did not formally attribute his release…

Whatever illusions Brandon Aiyuk had about joining the Commanders were just completely thwarted by the latest signing of Stefon Diggs.

While there could be friction between Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel on the 49ers, Evans made sure to squash it.

The Washington Commanders may have just removed Brandon Aiyuk’s most obvious escape route from the San Francisco 49ers.Washington is set to sign veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, according to a report from Jordan Schultz on August 5. Until the agreement is completed and announced, it remains a reported move rather than an official transaction.For Aiyuk, however, the message is already difficult to miss. The Commanders were the team he openly identified as his preferred destination, and Diggs would occupy the veteran receiver role Washington might otherwise have filled with Aiyuk. BREAKING: T…

The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have signed WR KhaDarel Hodge and DL Ogbo Okoronkwo to one-year deals. In order to make room on the roster, the team waived DL Kevin Givens and DL Cameron Sample.

The San Francisco 49ers could use more help on defense going into the 2026 season, and ESPN’s Seth Walder sees a move that makes sense.Walder proposes that the 49ers trade for Atlanta Falcons star safety Jessie Bates III and a 2028 sixth-round draft pick in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick. Atlanta spent on Bates with a four-year, $64 million deal, and it’s worth the 49ers bringing in the three-time second-team All-Pro.Bates has spent the past three seasons in Atlanta after he started his career with the Cincinnati Bengals as a second-round pick from Wake Forest. He had a career year the f…

The San Francisco 49ers are currently taking part in training camp as they gear up for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The 49ers recently got some tough news when it was announced that young wide receiver Ricky Pearsall would be out for the entire upcoming season due to PCL reconstruction surgery, addressing an issue that had been lingering since last year. Now, a comparison has been drawn by Dr. Prem Ramkumar between Pearsall’s surgery and one undergone by another professional athlete recently. “Ramkumar mentioned only one prominent professional athlete whose situation closely resembled Pearsal…

The NFL always has one or two trades that seem to surprise many people, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if one happened before the season. ESPN’s Seth Walder recently predicted several trades that could happen during training camp, and one of them involved the Atlanta Falcons trading Jessie Bates to the San Francisco 49ers. “If the Falcons were expected to contend, it would make sense to keep Bates and see the original contract through. But they aren’t, and with a ton of 2027 cap space even after the Bijan Robinson extension, the Falcons will likely be spenders next offseason,” Walder wrote. “Th…

The 49ers still needed pass-rushing depth, and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo was the get, even though fans probably were hoping for a bigger name.

The San Francisco 49ers were dealt a brutal blow with Ricky Pearsall set to undergo season-ending knee surgery. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel was brought back for some extra insurance, but the 49ers aren’t done adding in Pearsall’s absence. San Francisco has signed wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The terms of his agreement have not yet been announced. After joining the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018, Hodge has spent the last four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. He was even named a Pro Bowler for his special team efforts in 2024. As a pass catcher, Hodge has made…

The San Francisco 49ers have been active in the player transactions market over the past few days.With a currently beat-up wide receiver group (Ricky Pearsall’s season-ending injury, Mike Evans, De’Zhaun Stribling banged up), the 49ers have made a notable signing on Wednesday.According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the 49ers are bringing in eight-year veteran wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge.

The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed linebacker Dre Greenlaw to a one-year, $7.5 million contract after a brief stint with the Denver Broncos. According to a report from NFL Network four months ago, this deal reunites the key player from San Francisco’s 2022 and 2023 lineups, during which he recorded over 240 tackles, and differing training philosophies influenced Greenlaw’s departure from Denver. He noted the contrast between Sean Payton’s intense three-hour practice sessions and Kyle Shanahan’s approach of keeping players fresh. Additionally, Greenlaw faced various challenges during his ti…

The 49ers' contract for Deebo Samuel pretty much tells everyone what they want to get out of the veteran multi-use receiver.

SANTA CLARA — De’Zhaun Stribling has not been on the field for a handful of practices, but Upton Stout already has seen lot of upside in the 49ers draft pick. The rookie wide receiver has been sidelined with hamstring tightness for nearly a week, but Stout experienced enough to detail the Ole Miss product’s strengths. “Whichever category you want to talk about,” Stout said Wednesday. “Separating at the top of the route, being able to get open from DBs or just going up and making a play on the ball. I feel like he’s going to be a good well-rounded receiver when it comes to it.” The second-year…

The San Francisco 49ers wanted to add depth to their defensive line, and they worked out several players over the week in hopes of signing one. They accomplished that goal, and it’s a familiar face for Raheem Morris from when he coached with the Los Angeles Rams. “Source: Veteran edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo is signing with the 49ers today. Reunites with Raheem Morris from the days of the Rams,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler wrote on X, formerly Twitter. The 49ers also worked out Andre Carter II and Xavier Thomas earlier in the week.

Brock Purdy has grown as a leader since entering the NFL as the 49ers’ third-string quarterback.Now, bracing for his fifth season and fourth as the clear starter for San Francisco, Purdy knows there’s a responsibility on him to guide the newer and younger guys on the squad — especially with a recovering Kyle Shanahan watching from the shadows.But Purdy won’t necessarily change his leadership ways, but rather increase them.“It’s a weird way to think about it, going into Year 5. I just think talking to the young guys, talking to the new guys, like I’m a guy that you can trust,” Purdy said on “Th…

Even as a proven NFL starting quarterback entering Year 5, Brock Purdy has grown used to the criticism.The 49ers signal-caller has heard it all since becoming anything but irrelevant as the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. From being labeled a “game-manager” to a “system quarterback” and everything in between, the noise doesn’t bother Purdy given what he already has proved with his play. “Honestly, I don’t see every little thing that everyone says,” Purdy said to Tim Kawakami on “The TK Show.” “I hear murmurs through media, people ask me questions, and I’m like, ‘Oh, really? Someone said that?…

The Los Angeles Rams are taking a very, very different travel approach than the 49ers for their Week 1 international game against San Francisco.While the 49ers plan to arrive in Melbourne, Australia for their international game against the Rams a full week in advance, in order to acclimate themselves after traveling to the other side of the world, their NFC West division rivals will arrive the day before their season-opening matchup, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported in a recent story.“The Rams’ Week 1 game is against the 49ers in the league’s first game in Australia,” Graziano wrote. “The Rams are…

The 49ers are hoping for big things from their rookie 2026 NFL Draft class, and training camp has provided a notable glimpse.

The 49ers' head coach may be the main roadblock in the young quarterback's career.

The San Francisco 49ers are getting ready for the 2026 campaign, and once again, this team will be aiming to make a run to the Super Bowl. Last year, the Niners managed to exceed expectations, as they overcame a rash of injuries to advance to the divisional round of the playoffs. Assuming they can stay healthy, the team should be able to make a similar sort of run this season.There are reasons to be skeptical of San Fran, though. For starters, the team is already dealing with some new injuries, but as long as Brock Purdy is under center, the 49ers have appeared capable of beating whoever their…

The San Francisco 49ers made a big-time move during NFL free agency. After clearly needing a wide receiver, John Lynch was able to get a deal done with free agent wideout Mike Evans.Evans, who had played his entire NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing with the 49ers, has immediately become Brock Purdy’s No. 1 weapon.At 32 years old, Evans may not be the superstar that he once was. But, he is still very confident in his ability to be San Francisco’s missing piece on the offensive side of the ball.Last season, Evans ended up playing in eight games. He dealt with multiple injur…

SANTA CLARA — De’Zhaun Stribling is coming into an ideal situation for a rookie wide receiver.The door is open for the No. 33 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to earn significant playing time in his first NFL season. And he also is joining a 49ers team that has one of the league’s top role models at his position.Wide receiver Mike Evans, a six-time Pro Bowl performer, signed as a free agent this offseason with the 49ers after spending his first 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Evans’ streak of 1,000-yard seasons came to an end last year, as he appeared in only eight games due to inju…

The San Francisco 49ers might be pretty damn good on the interior defensive line.Not only did the 49ers trade for $80 million Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, but they’ll presumably get to pair him with an up-and-coming star in 2nd-year defensive tackle Alfred Collins, a 6-foot-6, 332-pound monster who surprised with his ability to impact games as a rookie.It doesn’t end there. The 49ers may have also added a key depth piece in rookie 4th-round pick Gracen Halton.“Oklahoma defensive tackle Gracen Halton was a fourth-round pick and brings value both as a pass-rusher and against t…

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is expected to do a little — or a lot — of everything this season with the 49ers.And the details of his one-year contract reflect exactly what the 49ers have in mind.Samuel signed a one-year contract late last week with the 49ers that includes incentives for playing time, total yards from scrimmage, touchdowns, kick returns and the team advancing to the NFL playoffs, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area on Tuesday.“You are going to see him in the return game, at receiver, and at running back,” 49ers general manager John Lynch told reporters in Santa Clara on Saturday, p…

SANTA CLARA — In Raheem Morris’ first summer as 49ers defensive coordinator, the defensive players appear genuinely excited about the schematic changes he brought to the team.And that’s not all.The players on the other side of the ball believe they are benefiting from Morris’ new system, too.“It is different,” 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy said. “In camp, it’s usually the four-down, traditional stud defensive linemen with three linebackers and a strong quarter-shell defense. And now it’s like, all right, we’ve got five down, he gives us all these different kinds of looks and the shell’s always…

The San Francisco 49ers decided to bring back two familiar faces for the 2026 NFL season. Early in the offseason, the Niners signed Dre Greenlaw, who spent last season with the Denver Broncos.Meanwhile, early in training camp, the 49ers signed Deebo Samuel to offset the loss of Ricky Pearsall, who is out for the 2026 campaign. As for Samuel, he returns to the Bay Area after playing last season with the Washington Commanders. With those two now back as the preseason and 2026 season near, Niners fullback Kyle Juszczyk spoke about having Samuel and Greenlaw back in the dressing room and what they…

New York Knicks coach Mike Brown will be a very busy man in the next few weeks as they begin their preparations for their title defense. Brown will have to devise ways to help them sustain their success, especially after going through some changes in the offseason. In the meantime, while he still has a surplus of free time, Brown is making sure that he spends it meaningfully. On Monday, he was present at the training camp of the San Francisco 49ers. While he could absorb ideas he could incorporate into his approach with the Knicks, Brown was not there as a guest observer. He was there as a sup…

Amid star wide receiver Deebo Samuel’s return to the San Francisco 49ers, one coach is well aware of a golden opportunity to utilize the veteran’s skill set.Samuel is best known for his pass-catching ability and making a run on a jet sweep, but he has also been a threat as a kick returner. Niners special teams coordinator Brant Boyer said that’s on his radar.“Well, certainly when they told me that he was coming I was like, ‘Hell yeah. Let’s go,'” Boyer told reporters on Monday. “Because he is a difference maker. He’s obviously proven and he’s done it at a very, very high level. I’m really anxi…

He did so in 16 games with just 4 starts, finishing with 82 tackles, 5 pass deflections, 4 TFL, and 1 forced fumble.NFL insider Jordan Schultz put Stout on his short list of the NFL’s top defensive “Breakout Candidates” in 2026.“After having conversations with coaches and executives, here are my early offensive and defensive breakout picks for 2026,” Schultz wrote on his official X account on Mo…

The San Francisco 49ers are pulling out all the stops before the 2026 season. San Francisco reunited with Deebo Samuel to make sure they have enough firepower on offense. But one important position on the offensive line is still a mystery in the early days of training camp. ESPN’s Nick Wagoner highlighted the left guard position as the team’s biggest training camp battle in a recent article. The position is completely up for grabs after losing multiple players this offseason. “The 49ers said goodbye to both guards — Ben Bartch (Detroit) and Spencer Burford(Las Vegas) — who were their top optio…

Ji’Ayir Brown is set to play for his fourth defensive coordinator in his fourth NFL season with the 49ers. However, this training camp, he says, is unlike any other.“Camp is going great.

I’m comfortable this year, and I’m honestly having fun, bro. I can’t remember the last time I had as much fun.”Brown’s praise for new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris‘ scheme carries extra weight given his own history. Steve Wilks was the coordinator who perso…

SANTA CLARA — Kyle Juszczyk is enjoying the reunion. The 49ers fullback believes the return of both Dre Greenlaw and Deebo Samuel is just what the team needed. Juszczyk spoke to the media on Monday and started by sharing why the versatile receiver’s presence alone is reason for excitement. “It comes from a lot of things,” Juszczyk said. “Deebo is the best. He is such an incredible teammate, he’s such a good friend. He’s an incredible football player, so we are really happy to have him in the locker room just because he brings the best vibes and positivity. “But we are also happy to have him on…

The San Francisco 49ers are currently in the middle of training camp as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The 49ers made some big moves this offseason, headlined by the free agent signing of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans. However, on Monday, the team got a tough injury update regarding Evans at training camp. “49ers WR Mike Evans is not practicing today due to a quad strain,” reported ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter on X, formerly Twitter. At this point, it’s unclear when exactly the strain took place or how long Evans might be out of the lineup for, but it’s…

With Deebo Samuel back with the 49ers, that means that wide receiver Jacob Cowing is likely going to struggle to get playing time.

Mike Evans has played with a myriad of talented quarterbacks, from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield to Johnny Manziel during his Heisman days at Texas A&M. This season, he’ll play with Brock Purdy, and from Evans’ vantage point, he thinks the star 49ers quarterback hasn’t reached his ceiling.“He’s a quarterback that’s getting better each year,” Evans told KNBR’s Murph and Markus on Monday. “You know, I saw him in his first start. It was against us when I was in Tampa, and he just gets better and better. He’s super poised, he’s in the pocket, he throws a really good ball, and he just loves the game…

Fred Warner has had to learn a new defensive coordinator’s system nearly every offseason for half a decade. This time, he says the adjustment felt different from the start.Raheem Morris is the 49ers’ fifth defensive coordinator in as many seasons, following DeMeco Ryans, Steve Wilks, Nick Sorensen and Robert Saleh through a stretch of near-constant turnover at the position. Speaking to KNBR’s “Murph and Markus,” on Monday, Warner explained why Morris’ arrival hasn’t felt like starting from scratch.“Raheem’s been awesome, man,” Warner said. “His ability to connect with the room right away — I t…

The San Francisco 49ers dealt with a ton of injuries during the 2025 season. One of the worst was Nick Bosa’s torn ACL, which ended his 2025 season in the month of September. The veteran edge rusher is now back in action ahead of a crucial 2026 season for the 49ers. Bosa seems to think that he is better than ever after last season’s injury. In fact, Bosa explained why he feels faster now than he did before the major injury. “You learn something every time you do it, every year really, injury or not, you kind of learn how to prepare a certain way to be at your best,” Bosa said. “When I came off…

What does 49ers' 'ominous' start mean for the season?

The San Francisco 49ers had a rough time staying healthy on defense last season, and it called for next man up throughout the year. They’ve come back mostly healthy in training camp, but the team is also looking to add depth in some areas on that side of the ball, specifically on the defensive line. According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the team is working out three edge rushers. “It doesn’t look like the 49ers are finished adding edge players. Today they worked out: Andre Carter II, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Xavier Thomas,” Barrows wrote. It was already announced that the 49ers were working ou…

Mike Evans spent 12 NFL seasons with the Tampa Bay Bucaneers.

I’ve been there my whole career, 12 seasons. Love the fan base, love the people, love the people in the front office,” Evans said. “But just felt like it was time for a change.

The San Francisco 49ers should be praying that Deebo Samuel isn't their saving grace this season.

The San Francisco 49ers were very busy during the weekend, as the team signed a running back to help out the offense. San Francisco inked veteran rusher Khalil Herbert to a one-year deal, per ESPN. Herbert has primarily been used as a backup running back in his NFL career. During the 2025 season, he rushed for the New York Jets. Herbert finished the campaign with 52 yards on 16 carries. In his career, the running back has 1,957 total rushing yards. He has rushed for nine career touchdowns. His last rushing touchdown came during the 2024 campaign, when he played for the Chicago Bears. Herbert i…

The San Francisco 49ers are looking at options to improve their defense. During NFL training camp, San Francisco extended an invitation to a journeyman pass rusher. That player ended up taking a visit. “Veteran free agent edge Ogbo Okoronkwo, who played last year for the Eagles, worked out for the 49ers today, source said. Before Philly, he played two seasons for the Browns,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport posted to X, formerly Twitter. Okoronkwo didn’t record a single tackle during the 2025 NFL regular season. He was placed on injured reserve by Philadelphia. In 2024 with the Cleveland Browns, th…

The 49ers traded for Keion White last season, but his role entering 2026 is very much up for grabs, and he's coming back from injury anyway.

An underrated 49ers storyline entering the 2026 NFL season is the linebackers room.Fred Warner, of course, is arguably the best middle linebacker in the league, but he is coming off a brutal ankle injury suffered last season. And around him, there are other question marks; Dre Greenlaw needs to stay healthy in his return to the Bay, and there isn’t much experience behind them.So, San Francisco might need to count on someone like Nick Martin, a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, to step up this season. Martin had a very limited role in his rookie year, recording just 11 total tackles and a…

The San Francisco 49ers are an exciting watch at training camp. San Francisco is ready to fight their way back to the playoffs after suffering a crushing loss against Seattle last year. The 49ers are even more ready than ever now that Deebo Samuel is back where it all began.

Brandon Aiyuk's anti-49ers stance already looks bad enough, but it's even worse now with Deebo Samuel coming back.

The bizarre electrical substation conspiracy theory was one of the biggest storylines of the 49ers’ 2025 NFL season.And even though the organization hired a scientist this offseason who declared the facility safe from any effects of the substation, some players still are acknowledging their skepticism regarding the viral theory.Dre Greenlaw spent last season away from the 49ers after signing with the Denver Broncos, but even he admitted to being curious about the substation speculation. “Yeah, I was. I was like, ‘Man what the hell going on over here?'” Greenlaw said with a laugh. “I mean, I do…

If the 49ers have unwritten rules during training camp, linebacker Dre Greenlaw is well aware of one, though that didn’t stop him from playing with fire on Friday.On Saturday, Greenlaw was asked by reporters about what was going through his mind during a few skirmishes with 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey during Friday’s practice.“Honestly, my process was like, you better not touch 23 or you might not be on this team,” Greenlaw said, with a laugh. “But I think it was a play before where I kind of got rolled up on him a little bit, and I was like ‘Damn.’ But then naturally, he caught a b…

The San Francisco 49ers are reuniting with a familiar face, and General Manager John Lynch already has a massive role carved out for him. Following the unfortunate season-ending knee injury to receiver Ricky Pearsall, the 49ers brought back Deebo Samuel Sr. on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million. For the 49ers faithful wondering how Samuel fits into an offense that now features Mike Evans as the established WR1, Lynch cleared the air. The versatile playmaker won’t just be lining up out wide. “You are going to see him in the return game, at receiver, and at running back,” Lynch told reporter…

It's a real "good news/bad news" situation as that stands.

Brandon Aiyuk clearly wants the 49ers to release him so he can sign with the Washington Commanders but Deebo Samuel likely prevented that.

Deebo Samuel Sr. made his return to the practice field while Dre Greenlaw, the secondary, and tight ends highlighted Saturday's second padded practice.

It has been a tough few days for 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who is set to undergo knee surgery that will keep him out for the entire 2026 NFL season.Pearsall’s teammates clearly have his back, though, as he begins a long road to recovery. One of them is fellow receiver Deebo Samuel, who grew close to Pearsall after the latter was selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.Following his first practice back with San Francisco upon officially signing with the team Saturday, Samuel shared his message to Pearsall after the young wideout received the disheartening news.“Yeah, [I’ve]…

The San Francisco 49ers have bolstered their offense by signing Deebo Samuel to a one-year contract valued at up to $7 million. Mike Evans welcomed this reunion, mentioning that he developed a connection with Samuel during their meeting at the Pro Bowl in 2021. Evans commended Samuel’s physical playing style, versatility, and energy, adding to San Francisco’s lineup, which now includes two veteran receivers with unique abilities to challenge defenses. This signing became even more critical after Ricky Pearsall’s knee injury took a serious turn. General Manager John Lynch announced that Pearsal…

The San Francisco 49ers selected Ole Miss wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, aiming to enhance their passing attack. Early in training camp, quarterback Brock Purdy praised the rookie, noting his attention to detail, understanding of route depths, and ability to quickly adapt to Kyle Shanahan’s complex offense. Purdy emphasized that Stribling was rapidly earning trust and proving his reliability during the first days of practice. However, Stribling’s promising start to camp experienced a setback. According to NFL Network insider Adam Schefter on…

Deebo Samuel has frustrated plenty of opposing coaches over the years with his versatility.But luckily for new 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, he doesn’t have to worry about drawing up game plans anymore to neutralize Samuel on Sundays. Instead, after Samuel reunited with San Francisco on a one-year contract, Morris gets to be on the same team as the do-it-all weapon.Which, according to Morris, is much preferred.“I’ve hated him so long,” Morris told reporters with a laugh after Saturday’s practice, “and it’s so nice to have him back in a friendly atmosphere. He’s been one of those g…

The boys are back in town.After respective one-year absences, both linebacker Dre Greenlaw and wide receiver Deebo Samuel have returned to the 49ers for the 2026 NFL season, each signing one-year contracts with the organization that originally drafted them.Greenlaw believes both players realized the grass isn’t always greener in another NFL uniform, and he let Samuel know as much with an offseason text.“I reached out to him a little bit during this free-agency time, just to kind of say, ‘Hey, man, come on back, man,’ you know what I’m saying,” Greenlaw told reporters after Saturday’s practice…

Brayden Willis had promise coming out of Oklahoma, but the fringe tight end hasn't done much since, and the 49ers may soon run out of patience.

The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have signed WR Deebo Samuel Sr. to a one-year deal. In order to make room on the roster, the team placed WR Ricky Pearsall on the Injured Reserve List.

SANTA CLARA — We all occasionally have bad days, and Saturday was clearly one for the 49ers’ offense. Brock Purdy welcomed the return of Deebo Samuel, who was immediately involved in the offense. Still, the group as a whole was not on the same page during practice, with errors ranging from miscommunication to multiple inaccurate throws. It wasn’t just Purdy who had a rough day. Mac Jones had trouble with an exchange while Brett Toth was at center, with the ball ending up on the grass. Both playcallers threw multiple incomplete passes throughout the on-field session.The practice wasn’t without…

The San Francisco 49ers's signing of Deebo Samuel may help the team in more ways than one.

San Francisco 49ers first day in pads featured increased physicality, a standout play from Mike Evans, and a competitive defense.

The San Francisco 49ers signed Deebo Samuel to a one-year contract worth up to $7 million. It’s a move that came not long after Rickey Pearsall was announced to be dealing with a knee injury with an unknown return date. While the club prepares for the upcoming season, newly acquired wideout Mike Evans reveals just how excited he is to be teamed up with Samuel. Evans claimed that he and the soon-to-be eight-year veteran built a unique chemistry back in 2021 when they first met at the Pro Bowl, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The 32-year-old wide receiver praised Samuel for his sty…

Brandon Aiyuk's social media tirades have been mostly background noise now that the preseason has begun proper, but the wide receiver has one unwelcome weapon at his disposal.

Mike Evans has spent 49ers training camp learning what makes Brock Purdy tick. And it turns out Purdy has been a fan of Evans long before either of them ever set foot on a practice field together.Asked on Friday what has stood out about Purdy beyond his accuracy, Evans pointed to the quarterback’s habits outside of a game environment — the kind of details that only reveal themselves once you’re sharing a locker room with someone.“His attention to detail, his consistency, the way he comes to work — first one on the field,” Evans told reporters. “He’s super smart, and he’s quiet, but he’s a fun…

One of the more timeless traditions that occurs every NFL offseason are training camp kerfuffles.Despite having one of the best cultures in the NFL, the 49ers are not immune to players getting a tad testy with one another. Friday marked the first day that San Francisco practiced in pads, and two of the team’s biggest names got into it on multiple occasions.As reported by NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco, All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey and hard-hitting linebacker Dre Greenlaw went at one another on three occasions. While this could indicate there’s a rift between the two, McCaffrey…

There was an altercation at 49ers training camp on Friday, and it seems as if Fred Warner was at the center of it.

The 49ers’ defense has been led by Fred Warner since he joined San Francisco in 2018, and it hasn’t taken one of the team’s recent acquisitions long to figure out why.Osa Odighizuwa, who San Francisco acquired from the Dallas Cowboys via trade this offseason, has gone through a few days of training camp with the 49ers and already sees what sets Warner apart from other linebackers in the league.“Fred just, I feel like, has a menacing aura,” Odighizuwa told reporters following Friday’s practice. “Him and [Dre] Greenlaw, for sure, so having them on the field behind me just adds just a little bit…

The 49ers had high hopes for C.J. West his rookie season, but after disappointing, subsequent moves now bury him on the depth chart.

The San Francisco 49ers aren’t waiting for injuries to become a bigger problem. As training camp continues, the organization added veteran depth by signing tight end Josiah Deguara and wide receiver Trenton Irwin to one-year contracts, giving the offense additional insurance at two key positions, according to Adam Schefter. This move comes hours after bringing back Deebo Samuel to the team. The moves come at an important time for San Francisco. The 49ers are facing uncertainty at wide receiver with Ricky Pearsall’s lingering injuries creating questions about his availability for the 2026 seaso…

Deebo Samuel is back in red and gold, and assistant head coach Chris Foerster does not think the star wide receiver will miss a beat.Foerster has known Samuel since the day the 49ers drafted him back in 2019, and he made his enthusiasm clear during Friday’s media availability, just one day after the team agreed to bring Samuel back on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million.“I’ve been here, I think, since we drafted Deebo,” Foerster said. “When the ball’s in Deebo’s hands, there’s a lot of special things that he can do. So you find as many different ways to get the ball in his hands, so he can…

Deebo Samuel’s former teammates had rallied for the 49ers to re-sign the 30-year-old receiver, but they aren’t the only players happy that the Pro Bowl wideout is making his return to San Francisco.One of the newest 49ers, Mike Evans — a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver himself — told reporters on Friday why he is excited for the team to add the seven-year NFL veteran.“I love the way he plays the game,” Evans said on Friday. “I think he’s going to bring what he [brought] before to the team; that energy, that versatility. Hell of a pickup for us.”The versatility of Samuel could be key for a 49er…

The 49ers have signed TE Josiah Deguara and WR Trenton Irwin to one-year deals, waived CB Derrick Canteen, and waived/injured TE Tanner McLachlan.

We are one step closer to the 2026 NFL season.The 49ers took the field in pads for the first time on Friday, with Chris Foerster serving as the acting head coach as Kyle Shanahan recovers from injuries suffered in a car accident earlier this month. While Shanahan, who was named the best play-caller in the NFL by his peers, isn’t operating at 100%, Foerster did tell the media that the head coach is still around and helping out.“Yeah, we do come in after practice,” Foerster said on Friday. “The very first day of practice, Kyle was in there and ran the tape. We went through it, and it seems prett…

The NFC West is expected to be the best division in football heading into the 2026 season, and the Deebo Samuel reunion with the 49ers is critical to that.

Deebo Samuel is coming back to the 49ers, and George Kittle couldn't be happier about it.

Tensions rose between Christian McCaffrey and Dre Greenlaw at 49ers practice Friday, and it’s safe to say assistant head coach Chris Foerster wasn’t overly thrilled about it.While Foerster acknowledged that it likely was the result of practicing with pads for the first time, he believes it’s time and energy wasted on the wrong things and toward the wrong people.Foerster, who has been a part of several teams that welcomed and encouraged grittiness and toughness, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ elite and aggressive “Tampa Two” teams, is adamant that there’s a time and a place to bring out th…

The San Francisco 49ers have enough star power to make their championship ambitions obvious. The more compelling August drama, however, will unfold several rows down the depth chart. Preseason football is where players fighting for the final handful of roster spots must turn practice flashes into evidence. San Francisco’s aggressive offseason has made that challenge particularly unforgiving. For Jacob Cowing, Darrell Luter Jr, and Jalen Graham, the upcoming exhibition slate represents something considerably bigger than a tune-up. Each enters the preseason with a legitimate path onto the 53-man…

SANTA CLARA — Assistant head coach Chris Foerster addressed the 49ers on Friday morning prior to their first padded practice of training camp.His message: Protect the team and don’t get into fights.“I did good with that one, right?” Foerster joked after a spirited practice that consisted of three small skirmishes with linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Christian McCaffrey as the central figures in the action.“When you get guys who are competitive, it doesn’t matter how veteran or how good of a leader a guy is; when you’re in a competitive situation, sometimes you can slip,” Foerster said.Foerster cha…

The San Francisco 49ers might have had to deal with this problem one too many times.

So the San Francisco 49ers found a new way to drown out the Brandon Aiyuk noise. The franchise brought back wide receiver Deebo Samuel Thursday, who last played for the Washington Commanders. Such a move sparked fan theories that SF just moved the needle in the NFC West arms race with the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. Samuel’s reunion most definitely should energize 49er fans. But this move doesn’t completely tilt the title hand towards San Francisco in taking a deeper dive. 49ers are Getting the Older Deebo Samuel He’s heading back to Santa Clara as a 30-year-old who hasn’t recapture…

The biggest knock on the superstar has only gotten worse as the San Francisco 49ers inch closer to the season.

As usual, the San Francisco 49ers are dealing with injuries. And this year they don’t want to overuse their star running back. That’s why there is a training camp battle fantasy football managers must watch. Christian McCaffrey touched the football 413 times in the 2025 season. And head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged that shouldn’t happen again this year, according to a post on X by Coach Yac. “Last year was the worst we had been at it,” Shanahan said. “One of the most amazing years I have seen by a guy in terms of just heart. The fact that he could get his body ready every Sunday for 17 wee…

Many 49ers fans and analysts thought Demarcus Robinson might be cut in training camp but he's proving his value early on.

Deebo Samuel reportedly is on his way back to the Bay Area, and 49ers tight end George Kittle might have been dropping easter eggs for fans – albeit not so subtly – all along.While former teammates Kyle Juszczyk and Kittle joked about having guest houses for Samuel to stay in on a July 18 Instagram post from Samuel, the 49ers star tight end had even previously hinted to Sports Illustrated that a possible reunion with the wideout could be brewing all the way back in February. .@gkittle46 spoke a Deebo Samuel 49ers return into existence back during Super Bowl week 👀🔥 pic.twitter.com/gmQ4FEODGV…

Deguara entered the NFL as the No. 94 overall selection in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft after a productive career at Cincinnati.

Examining the 49ers' outlook for 2026, the ways to bet them and our best bet going into the NFL season.

The San Francisco 49ers’ biggest issue has been their bad luck with injuries. Over the last few years, injuries have consistently plagued the team’s best players. Even last season, San Francisco’s playoff run was derailed by injuries to multiple key players on both sides of the ball. This year, the injury bug has taken another name again. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has been held out of training camp due to his recurring knee issues. Considering Pearsall’s history and their depth at the position, the 49ers are doing their due diligence to make sure that they’re going to be prepared for the wo…

The 49ers have been linked to Vita Vea's trade request, but if they pull off the move, it's reasonable to think Christian McCaffrey's time soon comes to an end.

Christian McCaffrey officially turned 30 this offseason, but don’t expect the San Francisco 49ers star running back to spend much time thinking about his age. As NFL training camps get underway around the league, McCaffrey made it clear he’s focused on one thing: continuing to improve. According to Nick Wagoner, the All-Pro running back brushed aside any concerns about reaching the milestone birthday. “I don’t make a big deal out of the whole age thing,” McCaffrey said. “That does nothing for me. I just think about continuing to grow, continuing to go out there and ball. It’s funny, you turn 3…

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk continues to air his frustrations with the organization as his contract dispute shows no signs of ending. On Tuesday, Aiyuk took to his Instagram Stories to question how the 49ers have maintained contractual control over him after voiding $30 million in guaranteed bonus money from his contract. “Players sacrifice their health and career to secure long term contracts that guarantee compensation,” Aiyuk wrote before questioning the definition of a guaranteed contract. “How can a team void the $ that is ‘guaranteed’ and agreed upon yet still have co…

Punter battles typically aren't exciting, but that's what the 49ers will have when the veteran, Corliss Waitman, tries to fend off an undrafted rookie.

Ricky Pearsall already missed chunks of 2025 because of injuries, and apparently those are going to impact his 2026 availability now, too.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall’s injury issues are still ongoing. The third-year wideout is “dealing with knee swelling related to the PCL injury he suffered last year,” according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. “Team says ‘all options’ are being explored and there is some ‘concern,'” Wagoner posted on X, formerly Twitter.

We're not two days into 49ers training camp, and the injury bug is biting already.

The San Francisco 49ers are finally back at training camp, which means the 2026 season is just around the corner. Players cannot tackle during practice just yet and are simply getting settled in. But that does not prevent players from potentially suffering major injuries during the early days of training camp. The Athletic’s Matt Barrows shared an update on 49ers training camp after Tuesday’s practice. He explained that rookie defender Romello Height had a scary moment where it looked like he suffered a major injury. “There were a few tense moments Monday when third-round pick Romello Height w…

Henry and Titus Leo, and linebacker Victor Dimukeje, with the 49ers also agreeing to terms with Henry the same day. Bell, a seventh-round pick by the then-Oakland Raiders in the 2019 draft out of Prairie View A&M, has bounced around the league throughout his career. After time on Oakland’s practic…

Here is a list of the three worst-kept secrets in human history: 1. Wrestling is fake, 2. Area 51, and 3. Brandon Aiyuk wants to play for the Washington Commanders. Aiyuk has been on an erratic stretch as he tries to sell himself to the Commanders amid his ongoing conflict with the San Francisco 49ers. Aiyuk has demanded a release from the 49ers, but the team has refused, as it seeks to get something in return for the wide receiver. The 28-year-old Aiyuk has repeatedly posted on social media, urging the Commanders, particularly Jayden Daniels, to get him. Aiyuk recently crashed out when Daniel…

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is still coming to grips with the recent car accident he was involved in.

The San Francisco 49ers superstar isn't leaving anything up to interpretation.

The San Francisco 49ers should consider trading for Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea.

While the San Francisco 49ers deal with the aftermath of Kyle Shanahan’s wreck, they may have their eyes on a defensive lineman in a trade. However, for now, they signed an ex-Commanders defensive line draftee, according to a post on X by Mike Garafolo. “The #49ers are signing DE KJ Henry after a workout today. Henry, a fifth-round pick of the #Commanders in 2023, was with the #Steelers in the spring and now heads to camp in Santa Clara.” Henry spent his first season with the Commanders, starting three games and recording 1.5 sacks. However, he moved to play for the Bengals and Cowboys in 2024…

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a car crash on July 14 that left him with several injuries. While he was banged up in the incident, there were no casualties in the wreck.

The 28-year-old seemingly does not want to play in San Francisco any longer, and has routinely claimed he will play for the Washington Commanders next season despite the fact he is still on the 49ers’ roster. Aiyuk’s disdain for the organization that gave him a four-y…

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett just gave San Francisco 49ers fans another reason to laugh at the Arizona Cardinals before the 2026 NFL season.

Though no one wants to see players get hurt, the San Francisco 49ers may inadvertently benefit from the latest diagnosis.

The CHP database had a clerical error attributing accident to…

Kyle Shanahan nearly lost an eye as a result of his car crash earlier this month, according to Chris Simms, who is close friends with the 49ers coach.

One idea that would reunite Deebo Samuel with the San Francisco 49ers is intriguing, but probably would not work in reality.

A report has surfaced that indicates who is at fault for Kyle Shanahan’s recent car crash that nearly cost the San Francisco 49ers coach his eye. Sports Illustrated, using a public government website, reported that Shanahan was “holding and using a cell phone during the accident,” a head-on collision, but he was ruled not at fault for the crash. That is because the other driver, a 21-year-old woman, allegedly swerved into his lane. So, while the 49ers coach might’ve been distracted by his phone, he isn’t at fault. He did violate Vehicle Code 23123.5(a), which states it’s illegal to hold and op…

Sebastian Valdez arguably did enough to make the 49ers' 53-man roster in 2025 but ultimately didn't. Yet the context might've changed enough now.

After Kyle Shanahan's scary car accident, the San Francisco 49ers have to be grateful they have Raheem Morris on staff.

Veteran tackle Vita Vea dropped a bombshell on Monday after it was revealed that he has demanded a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 49ers have plenty of questions at wide receiver, but it's obvious they don't want Malik Turner to be an answer to any of them.

Fred Warner isn’t the only high-profile linebacker return for the San Francisco 49ers. Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir couldn’t stop raving about the return of “bully” Dre Greenlaw during NFL Training Camp. Greenlaw momentarily left the Niners for the Denver Broncos last season. He eventually nearly went back to the Super Bowl but fell to eventual AFC champ the New England Patriots. Yet Greenlaw’s Rocky Mountain stay got short lived and returned to the Bay Area. Again, Lenoir believes the 49ers regained their fiery edge in luring back Greenlaw as he addressed reporters Monday. He’s the bully. We…

The San Francisco 49ers used an early second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to select wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling. It was a decision that came as a stunner to many at the time, as the consensus projected Stribling as a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick. However, with training camp underway, it sounds like Brock Purdy is impressed with the former Ole Miss Rebel. While talking with media members on Monday, the 26-year-old quarterback claimed that Stribling is proving to be a reliable teammate, according to Matt Lively of CBS Sports Bay Area. Purdy does pump the brakes a tad, as it’s only the…

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner witnessed his head coach Kyle Shanahan fight off injuries. Warner himself is making his own comeback from 2025’s NFL Injury.

The Brandon Aiyuk saga looks buried beneath San Francisco 49ers camp. Thanks to the presence of newcomer wide receiver Mike Evans already turning heads. And establishing an early rapport with quarterback Brock Purdy. The Niners rolled into San Jose for NFL Training Camp without their past top wideout Aiyuk, who’s demanded to play for the Washington Commanders. But now the past Super Bowl winning wideout Evans is winning over 49er fans. Matt Barrows of The Athletic helped paint this picture of the impact of Evans. “Evans had two chunk-play receptions on throws from Brock Purdy, including one do…

The San Francisco 49ers got training camp underway on Sunday morning as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The 49ers had several familiar faces in attendance for the festivities who were injured last year, including star pass rusher Nick Bosa. Recently, 49ers star veteran offensive lineman Trent Williams had some high praise for Bosa. “I see him every day. I can’t tell he had an injury and came back from anything. Most people with an injury that catastrophic, you can see it with something, like with atrophy in the leg. Bosa looks better than he did before he got hurt,” said William…

With the San Francisco 49ers practicing for the upcoming season, there is a level of hype around the team, especially with the recovery of star pass defensive lineman Nick Bosa. As Bosa had his first practice with the 49ers since the torn ACL injury, star teammate Trent Williams would give his point of view on the recovery of the pass rusher. Speaking to the media on Sunday, Williams would be asked about Bosa, with the offensive lineman even saying that he couldn’t tell from him practicing that he tore his ACL, according to Ari Meirov. Bosa tore his ACL in Week 3 of last season (Sept. 21, 2025…

Chris Foerster ran his first training camp practice with the Niners on Sunday as Kyle Shanahan continues to be on the mend from injuries he suffered in a car accident earlier this month.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan made a strong impression as training camp began, stepping onto the field while recovering from a serious car accident he had in mid-July. According to Matt Maiocco, a columnist for NBC Sports Bay Area, Shanahan spent about 30 minutes observing the 11-on-11 drills alongside general manager John Lynch. 49ers reporter Cam Inman noted that although Shanahan had a cast on his left hand, he was actively holding his practice script.

The San Francisco 49ers are hoping for a much healthier season in 2026 than they had in 2025 as training camp gets underway. The 49ers put up a valiant effort to make it to the NFC divisional round last year despite their injuries, but ultimately, those setbacks caught up to them. One of the many 49ers who was injured last year was star pass rusher Nick Bosa, whose season was limited to just three games due to a torn ACL. On Sunday, the team got a glowing review of Bosa’s performance at training camp from 49ers reporter Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group on X, formerly Twitter. “49ers camp is un…

49ers GM John Lynch had little to say Saturday about the status of estranged receiver Brandon Aiyuk, choosing instead to "focus on the players that are here."

The San Francisco 49ers received encouraging news regarding head coach Kyle Shanahan as training camp opened Saturday, with general manager John Lynch expressing optimism that Shanahan will be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season despite significant injuries suffered in a recent car accident. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo shared Lynch’s comments Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “#49ers GM John Lynch says Chris Foerster is the acting head coach while Kyle Shanahan is limited but it’ll be a collective effort.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch addressed Brandon Aiyuk’s situation at the start of training camp on Saturday, making it clear that the organization is concentrating on the players currently with the team rather than the absent wide receiver. “We’re going to focus on the players that are here,” Lynch said. “We wish him well. We wish his family well.” Aiyuk, 28, has remained on the reserve/left squad list since December after the Niners said his attendance at the team facility became inconsistent before stopping altogether. The designation allows him to remain under contract with…

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a car accident during his summer break in mid-July, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries that will limit his participation as the team begins training camp. In an official statement posted on X, the 49ers confirmed that he was in a vehicle crash last week and will participate in team activities on a limited basis while he continues his recovery.

The 2025 season showed San Fran can still compete. With Mike Evans and other reinforcements the 49ers want to win now.

George Kittle was brutally honest about the San Francisco 49ers’ contract situation with Brandon Aiyuk as the 2026 NFL season gets closer for all respective parties. Kittle is gearing up for the 10th season of his career with the 49ers. He continues to shine as one of the best tight ends in the entire league, often helping San Francisco be firm in playoff contention. Kittle and Aiyuk have been teammates for six seasons since 2020. However, injuries and off-field controversy have prevented the pair from sharing the field together for the last two years. Now, Aiyuk is in a standoff with the 49er…

“Nfl says they care about player safety yet they can’t put us on a natural surface.” This tweet from November 12, 2022 marked the last time that Nick Bosa directly posted on X/Twitter. Until Thursday night, that is. The San Francisco 49ers superstar edge rusher chose to break his near-four-year streak, and he used Ryan Clark to do it. Bosa quoted a post from The Athletic that detailed the Super Bowl-winning safety’s firing from ESPN. He dropped only an “ok hand” emoji, showing his approval for the widely discussed move. If one were to go back in time to November of 2024, they might understand…

Brandon Aiyuk grabbed attention throughout the summer for his desire to play for the Washington Commanders. Now one $10 million move he made fuels his hope to leave the Bay Area. Aiyuk purchased a home in Loudoun County, Virginia he revealed on his social media pages. Which resides near the Commanders’ facility. He even posted a series of photos with the realtors who helped him buy the house. The house is undergoing renovations while Aiyuk was all smiles inside the place. But Aiyuk remains on the 49ers roster ahead of NFL Training Camp starting soon. San Francisco hasn’t formally traded Aiyuk…

While the San Francisco 49ers enjoy their new superstar offensive duo, there’s hope of a breakout star on the defensive side of the ball. But a roster tweak is needed, and here is the biggest move the 49ers must make before 2026 NFL training camp. The 49ers enter this season as one of the top picks from the NFC to reach the Super Bowl. If they stay healthy — always a big “if” for this team — they should make a serious charge into the postseason and be noisy once they get there. But there’s still one area the 49ers need to shore up. 49ers need to add an interior offensive lineman With Trent Wil…

With NFL training camp starting, the San Francisco 49ers are battling to contend this season. As their key stars return from injuries, the Niners will likely make another signing before the season begins, according to 49ers insider Nick Wagoner. “With Williams and Bosa coming off ACL injuries and White recovering after getting shot in the foot, this is a roster spot that could see plenty of early-season juggling. San Francisco traditionally goes heavy on numbers here, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the team makes another addition to the edge rusher group in training camp that changes the mat…

The San Francisco 49ers enter training camp ahead of the 2026 NFL season as one of the best and most accomplished teams in the league. However, they also enter a new campaign in the toughest division in football. They currently project third in this NFC West, behind the defending champion Seattle Seahawks and current Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams. So, how do the 49ers vault themselves into this NFL upper crust that surrounds them? Well, Mykel Williams could be the key to that. Williams was the No. 11 pick out of Georgia in the 2025 NFL Draft. It was a polarizing pick at the time. While…

The 49ers begin training camp on Saturday. Here are key players to watch and a 53-man roster projection.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had a stellar comeback last season after playing just four games in 2024 due to a knee injury.

McCaffrey tallied 2,126 yards and 17 touchdowns and was named to the All-Pro First Team for the third time and the Pro Bowl for the fourth time. He was also named Comeback Player of the Year. The 49ers added another threat alongside McCaffrey with the signing of wide receiver Mike Evans. After a 12-year tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ev…

The San Francisco 49ers are less than two months away from kicking off their 2026 season against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. Among the many marquee games on the schedule for the 49ers this year is a mid-November game on the road against the Dallas Cowboys in a matchup of historical NFC powerhouses. Recently, 49ers insider David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard took to X, formerly Twitter, with a simple request for the Cowboys amid news that San Francisco would be wearing their throwback uniforms for that matchup. The 49ers will wear these throwback uniforms against Dallas. Can the…

The San Francisco 49ers are hoping for much better luck on the injury front this season after they were ravaged in that department in 2025. Among the many 49ers players who missed significant time due to injury was Fred Warner, who missed the second half of the season and the playoffs due to an ankle injury but is healthy heading into this year. Recently, Warner spoke on his mindset heading into the 2026 season, a campaign in which San Francisco will try to get him matched up more often with running backs in pass-rushing opportunities. “You’re away for a significant amount of time, and people…

The San Francisco 49ers have one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL, and Brock Purdy has a new weapon this year. However, the receiver group needs to shake out down the line. And here are two 49ers cut candidates on the chopping block entering the 2026 NFL training camp. Things look solid at the top end of the receiving group, but what happens after that? Also, the 49ers face a dilemma at a different position: safety. Let’s take a look at a pair of cut candidates for head coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. WR Jordan Watkins This final receiver-room position looks like a three-dog race. Can…

The San Francisco 49ers have no shortage of star power, but a pair of training camp competitions could determine whether the roster has the depth and stability to make another deep postseason push. The left guard spot and the safety position both feature uncertainty, young talent and veterans fighting to preserve their roles. Neither battle is likely to receive the same attention as the quarterback or wide receiver situations around the league. Still, the winners will carry major responsibilities in a system that demands precision up front and discipline on the back end. Connor Colby vs. Rober…

As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for the 2026 season, there is no denying that pressure will be put on quarterback Brock Purdy from the football world. With the 49ers quarterback in Purdy looking to prove his value, former signal-caller Alex Smith would speak on what makes the star special. Speaking on the “Up & Adams” show with Kay Adams, Smith would start by talking about how “one of the best strengths” of Purdy is leading a drop-back team, which he credits to him and head coach Kyle Shanahan. Plus, the former San Francisco quarterback would mention how Purdy is an “above-average athlete.”…
