Matt Breida provided the 49ers with their most explosive play of the young 2018 season in the third quarter of their home opener vs. the Lions on Sunday.
The middle linebacker has not played a regular season with the 49ers since they signed him prior to the 2017 season. That won’t change in Sunday’s home opener.
News broke on Saturday afternoon that the Cleveland Browns are looking to trade wide receiver Josh Gordon, and will release him on Monday if they can’t make a deal before then
The 49ers and Lions square off in Week 2 Sunday. The matchup features Matt Patricia, Kyle Shanahan, and Jimmy Garoppolo, who worked with and against each other in past roles.
