San Francisco 49ers News

San Francisco sports fans are used to hearing cryptic rhetoric regarding the trade deadline. It’s not just football, they heard it all summer when now former Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said that the Giants primary “deadline moves” would be getting healthier and adding already rostered talent to their active platoon.  49ers general […]

Our long national nightmare is over. Or international, if you include what looks like a successful trip to Germany. Christian McCaffrey is back, officially. After missing the first eight games of the 2024 season with a mysterious, worrisome case of bilateral Achilles tendinitis, the reigning NFL Offensive player of the year returned to the practice […]

Even though the 49ers head into their week nine bye with a win over the Cowboys, they still welcome the break after a tumultuous first half of the season. The red and gold limp, quite literally, into the break at 4-4. A 4-4 that is a lot less palatable than a .500 mark other clubs […]

Chiefs week. It seems crazy, silly almost, that the 49ers and their fans have assigned a name to a week leading up to a matchup with an AFC foe. But when you’ve lost two Super Bowls to an ever-ascending dynasty, and take the field as two of the best teams in the NFL each time […]

A decimated red and gold squad limped into SoFi Stadium, then literally and figuratively limped out. Things couldn’t be going much worse for the defending NFC champions.  In a conference call with reporters on Monday […]

The hospital wing of the 49ers facility in Santa Clara is already crowded. As of Thursday afternoon, it doesn’t look like the capacity will be thinning any time soon. The 49ers announced that two more key players are dealing with injuries as the team prepares to face the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday.  All-Pro […]

It’s amazing how much difference a day makes. 48 hours ago, the 49ers and their fans were walking the walk, rolling into Minnesota after a statement week one with all the confidence in the world. With good reason too, for the most part. Now a perennial NFC juggernaut, San Francisco and its faithful had, (and […]

Christian McCaffrey has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game in Minnesota. After a late scratch in Monday’s season opener, his earlier out designation in week two reflects the heightened concern San Francisco has for his Achilles tendinitis. Kyle Shanahan announced McCaffrey’s official status Friday afternoon, and ominously didn’t rule out a trip to IR […]
