Promo Reel

The 49ers waived cornerback Prince Charles Iworah on Tuesday. Iworah sustained a quadriceps injury in the first game of the preseason that knocked him out for the rest of the exhibition schedule. Iworah was then waived but went unclaimed, reverting him back to the 49ers’ injured reserve where he has stayed all season.

The rapid emergence of rookie Jordan Bell has thrown a wrench into the Warriors’ center rotation. Bell got a surprise start on Christmas Day against the Cavaliers, despite Zaza Pachulia being healthy enough to play. Head coach Steve Kerr said that Bell was a better matchup against Cleveland, but the writing is on the wall that Bell is now at least the number two behind Pachulia in Golden State’s center rotation.

Though Christmas Day technically fell on Monday, the best present the Golden State Warriors unwrapped was delivered on June 22.

Coach Kyle Shanahan appreciated the fan response during the 49ers’ 44-33 upset of Jacksonville on Christmas Eve, although he would like fans to be a little more quiet when the offense enters the red zone.

Jimmy Garoppolo flashed some rare cockiness when asked about his 5-yard touchdown pass to Trent Taylor in the 49ers upset of Jacksonville.

Running back Carlos Hyde, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, thinks the 49ers could be a Super team, and that’s why he wants to re-sign.

Jimmy Garoppolo did it again with another strong performance; the quarterback and an inspired defense dismantled the Jaguars in front of a gleelful Christmas Eve crowd at Levi’s.

The 49ers broke a draught of nearly two seasons without a defensive score Sunday against the Jaguars after cornerback Dontae Johnson returned an interception 55 yards for a touchdown.

The 49ers have been the most injured team in the game, but now they are re-gaining their health. The team will miss backup cornerback Greg Maybin, but will have tight end Garrett Celek available.

If the NBA had its way, Steph Curry would make a triumphant return to the floor on Christmas Day and the Cavs and Warriors would have already begun trash talking their opponents to generate more publicity.
