San Francisco 49ers News

Thad Lewis is out for the season with a torn ACL, and while some fans will shrug at the injury’s importance, it does have an impact on the 49ers’ day-to-day operation. Lewis was the de facto mentor in the quarterback’s room, having spent all of last season in Philadelphia with Chip Kelly. Teammates raved about […]

The curious case of Colin Kaepernick’s arm fatigue in his right shoulder now extends to its fourth day. How it happened, and who is at fault for the injury is a discussion worth having.

One of Chip Kelly’s favorite players will not see the field in 2016.

Chip Kelly joined Murph & Mac on KNBR Monday morning to talk about the 49ers’ preseason opener versus Houston. The head coach talked about the positives he saw from the offense and defense, as well as what he thinks the team needs to work on going forward.

The report says the two teams would break the tradition of the season kicking off on a Thursday night, and, instead, would open play on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

The 49ers ran 50 (fifty!) plays in the first half against the Houston Texans, and they gained 302 yards. Those are unheard of numbers in these parts, preseason or not. So, Chip Kelly, how would you grade the way your new team executed the pace of your offense ? “I thought we were okay,” Kelly told Murph […]

The 49ers decided on Saturday to keep Kaepernick out of the first preseason game. The team is hopeful the QB will be able to practice and play against the defending Super Bowl champs this upcoming week when the team travels to Denver.

When the 49ers drafted both DeForest Buckner and Joshua Garnett in the first round, the team double-downed on its philosophy of building in the trenches. It’s how the Jim Harbaugh era teams reaped rewards in the postseason. If Kelly’s 49ers want to sniff 8-8 in 2016, it’ll be those very trenches that become the necessary components to slugging out victories.

Here’s a translation from Kelly’s dictionary: I won’t willingly hand over the keys of the offense to a quarterback who can’t consistently make simple throws. This quarterback carousel, the one making 49ers fans nauseous, could realistically last until after the third preseason game against the Packers.
