San Francisco 49ers News

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan ruled out three players for Sunday’s home opener against the Detroit Lions during his press conference on Friday afternoon.

It appears as if the 49ers will be trotting out their fourth right guard in just two games on Sunday.

The second-year tight end was San Francisco’s most productive receiver in Sunday’s loss.

After looking nearly flawless in his five starts with the 49ers last season, Jimmy Garoppolo finally looked human on Sunday, throwing three interceptions in a 24-16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The 49ers are well-represented in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2019 class of 102 nominations.

The 49ers converted one of four red zone trips into touchdowns last Sunday. That’s a point of emphasis as they prepare for the Detroit Lions in the home opener Sunday.

Vikings defensive lineman Danielle Hunter said he saw Jimmy Garoppolo getting scared last Sunday. The 49ers quarterback responded Wednesday.

With Reuben Foster suspended, Malcolm Smith questionable, and Brock Coyle in the concussion protocol, the 49ers have signed a veteran linebacker for depth purposes.

Among the nine players who made their 49ers debuts Sunday, two in particular stood out: Fred Warner and Richard Sherman.

All of the 49ers’ top three draft picks were expected to play important roles in their rookie season, but not under recent circumstances.
