Which 49ers’ player returning from injury are you most worried about returning to form?
The San Francisco 49ers have no shortage of talent. Unfortunately, a good chunk of their foundational players who will be relied upon this upcoming season are returning from injuries. Star tight end George Kittle tore his Achilles in January. Edge rushers Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams are coming off torn ACLs. All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner […]

49ers 90-in-90: When can we expect George Kittle to return to form?
George Kittle is 32. George Kittle remains one of the most valuable players in the NFL at 32. The San Francisco 49ers were a completely different team with No. 85 on and off the field in 2025. That’s been the case whenever Kittle has missed time. During the regular season, the 49ers averaged 4.1 yards […]
Why the 49ers run defense should improve in 2026
The San Francisco 49ers made a few improvements to the roster this offseason, as they used their cap space to sign wide receiver Mike Evans and linebacker Dre Greenlaw, while trading for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa. Evans should instantly improve San Francisco’s wide receiver core, which didn’t have a receiver top 650 yards last season. […]
Which returning player has the most to gain for the 49ers during training camp?
The San Francisco 49ers are on “summer break.” They’ll return for training camp in about a month and a half. While it seems as though the depth chart is close to set in stone, there are several players with plenty to gain. We’ll scratch any rookie or free agent addition. It goes without saying that […]
Why 2026 season could be make-or-break for 49ers defensive starter
While recent 49ers drafts have unearthed plenty of promising talents, as yet no player from their three classes prior to the 2026 crop has established themselves as a clear foundational building block. Most of the 2023 class is no longer on the roster, and there’s a decent chance the 2026 season could be Ji’Ayir Brown’s […]
49ers News: One of the most talented players to ever wear red and gold
Inside Aldon Smith’s final hours: Ex-49er’s friend tried to revive him in truck (paywall)“On Saturday, Shirazi picked up Smith and the pair delivered 10 Little Caesars pizzas to Scott Wagers, the co-founder of CHAM Deliverance Ministry, a local charity that feeds the homeless. Wagers, who had never met Smith, had no idea the former NFL […]
Could the 49ers see a shakeup at safety this offseason?
The San Francisco 49ers didn’t have the best results from their safety room last offseason, as they rotated between Ji’Ayir Brown, Malik Mustapha, and rookie Marques Sigle. Many expected a step up from the young group, but the 49ers had inconsistent results in the secondary that led to questions this offseason. A part of that […]
George Kittle is eyeing SoFi Stadium’s grass—is that for turf stadiums or has he lost love for Levi’s?
George Kittle is at the World Cup, and he noticed something. Attending a match at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Kittle took to X to share his thoughts on the playing surface: Your first guess might be that this is a jab at Levi’s Stadium. The field has been re-sodded repeatedly over the years, players […]
Kyle Juszczyk gives optimistic George Kittle update
The San Francisco 49ers are still trying to get healthy. To name a few, both Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams are recovering from knee injuries, and George Kittle had that nasty Achilles tear in the NFC Wildcard. It’s a fair question about who will be around in Week 1. Luckily, Kittle looks like he’s on […]
49ers News: 13 more Sundays
NFL Insider shares when a Maxx Crosby-49ers trade could take place“However, Breer believes the 49ers should let the season play out before moving any assets for Crosby this summer: “But if I were them, I think I’d wait a bit before diving all-in. Let’s see how that core looks over the first month or two […]

The San Francisco 49ers announced some horrificly sad news early Saturday evening. Former All-Pro pass rusher and one-of-a-kind talent Aldon Smith has died.

George Kittle saves us the trouble of a “fire Shanahan” debate
If it weren’t for Brandon Aiyuk, a topic of discussion might be whether San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is on the hot seat. Again. We usually have this discussion during the season at some point, but this year, 2026, it’s the offseason, with speculation about how warm Shanahan’s seat is. It’s pretty simple—there […]
Brandon Aiyuk posts on social media with a Washington D.C. location
Last week was the start of Brandon Aiyuk’s return to social media and our return to overanalyzing everything. Friday, the campaign continued with Aiyuk posting in Washington, D.C., of all places. So why is Washington, D.C., so important? Because that’s where the Washington Commanders are, and everyone has speculated Aiyuk would end up in some […]
49ers News: Training camp feels like a year away
Writer proposes 49ers trade package for Maxx Crosby“But the reality is the Raiders did try to trade Crosby this offseason,” Davenport wrote. “The trajectory of the franchise hasn’t changed since then—Vegas is a rebuilding team. And while this offer isn’t as good as Baltimore’s was, it’s not that far off—a first, a day 2 pick, […]
49ers 90-in-90: Is Mac Jones the best backup QB in the NFL?
When a team’s franchise quarterback goes down with an injury and misses multiple games, it usually spells doom for that team and their season. Brock Purdy missed multiple weeks with a turf toe injury, and the 49ers turned to Mac Jones in his absence. In eight games, the 49ers ripped off five wins, including an […]
NFL Insider shares when a Maxx Crosby-49ers trade could take place
There is some skepticism about whether the San Francisco 49ers are done adding to their defense. One of the best pass rushers in the NFL was traded this offseason. But after Maxx Crosby failed his physical, he returned to the Las Vegas Raiders. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said he loves the idea of the 49ers […]
49ers News: An otherworldly weekend for the Niners to sign an OL
How the 49ers reacted to Rams trading for Myles Garrett“I was like, ‘Oh, that’s AI or whatever,'” Jones said, laughing. “I saw the blue check and I was like, ‘No, click on his profile.’ Then I was like, ‘Shoot, that’s crazy.’ Myles is a great player.” As the reality of Garrett’s arrival to one of […]
90-in-90: Have the 49ers found something in Jake Tonges?
The San Francisco 49ers got contributions on offense from the unlikeliest of places in 2025. Kendrick Bourne back-to-back 140-plus receiving games? Check. Demarcus Robinson goes off facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round? Check. Third-year tight end with zero catches in his career catches the game-winning touchdown against Seattle in Week 1? Check. That […]
Fred Warner believes the 49ers have a ‘three-headed monster’ along the defensive line
NBC Sports Bay Area’s Jennifer Lee Chan caught up with San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner at his youth football camp in San Mateo earlier this week. Warner spoke about the young players on the 49ers roster and a few who could potentially break out in 2026: “We’ve got a lot of guys who […]
2 analysts rank the 49ers supporting cast: ‘I think Ricky Pearsall is a star’
The supporting cast is sometimes just as important, if not more important, than the quarterback. The Athletic’s Derrik Klassen and Robert Mays debated which NFC teams had the best supporting casts in the NFC. Here’s how the conversation went when the San Francisco 49ers came up. Klassen: At No. 4, I have the San Francisco […]

And I’ll say that to Demo’s face. I didn’t […]
49ers continue to play musical chairs at running back after releasing Jordan Mims
The San Francisco 49ers continue to churn the bottom of their roster. The team’s cancellation of this week’s mandatory minicamp has not prevented them from making moves. The 49ers signed running back Sincere McCormick for what feels like the 17th time. To make room for McCormick, running back Jordan Mims was waived. Mims was signed […]
Are the 49ers now the third best team in the NFC?
Last week, a couple of blockbuster trades became official in the NFL, namely the Los Angeles Rams trading Pro Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse and a haul of draft picks for superstar Myles Garrett. The move immediately put the rest of the NFL on notice, as the Rams were already seen as a top Super […]
49ers 90-in-90: Will Demarcus Robinson make the roster?
During OTAs, you’d see this No. 7 jersey with the wide receivers. He was making plays. I had no idea who it was. Sure enough, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has a new number. Before the 49ers signed Mike Evans, Robinson wore No. 5. He caught six passes for a team-high 111 yards […]
