How versatility is showing out in Raheem Morris’s defense during training camp
Under new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, the San Francisco 49ers defense is still expected to carry remnants of the defense under Robert Saleh, which brought them success back in the late 2010s and last season, despite injuries. However, Morris is also expected to add his own wrinkles to the defense, with versatility seemingly being a […]
5 49ers we need to see take the next step in 2026
Training camp is upon us, and with the San Francisco 49ers, that unfortunately includes injuries, which have come in bunches to start camp. Nonetheless, that provides an opportunity for younger players to step into bigger roles, and that feels like a theme for the 49ers in 2026. While we’ve seen a couple of reunions and […]

49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, KhaDarel and Ogbo
KhaDarel Hodge, another former Raheem Morris player, joins the 49ers“Hodge lined up primarily on the outside with the Falcons.

It’s […]
49ers’ Chris Foerster: ‘If you’re not practicing football hard, you can get through camp easily without injuries’
Chris Foerster and the coaching staff have been tasked with managing the injuries for the San Francisco 49ers. Four players were added to the injury list ahead of Wednesday’s practice.

Deebo Samuel on 49ers return: ‘It was a matter of time’

Breaking down the incentives in 49ers’ WR Deebo Samuel’s contract
Spotrac has an in-depth breakdown of Deebo Samuel’s contract and every incentive the San Francisco 49ers gave him.

The Rams will fly into Australia the day before playing the 49ers
We’re still a little over a month away from the San Francisco 49ers’ season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. If you’ve been away all summer, the game won’t be played in California.

49ers rookie Jaden Dugger… the pass rusher?
Injuries have forced the San Francisco 49ers’ hand. Rookie Jaden Dugger, a collegiate safety turned linebacker—he was all-conference at both positions —is now practicing with the defensive linemen.

Ji’Ayir Brown says the previous 49ers schemes didn’t want football players. Raheem Morris does
Steve Wilks, Nick Sorensen, Robert Saleh. One of those names is not like the others, though all three were the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinators each of the last three years.

49ers fans believe we’ll see George Kittle playing before Mykel Williams
George Kittle continues to progress from his January surgery that repaired a torn right Achilles tendon.

3 questions for the 49ers at running back
Running back was a revolving door for the San Francisco 49ers in the first few years of the Kyle Shanahan era. But that all changed when the 49ers acquired Christian McCaffrey in the 2022 season.
