The 7-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in an essential must-win situation against the 4-9 Atlanta Falcons. Technically, the Bucs can still lose and win the division, but the margin for error would be next to nothing.

Baker Mayfield hasn’t thrown for more than 200 yards since Week 10. He’s completed under 40 percent of his passes twice since then, and has thrown four interceptions in the previous four games. It’s been ugly. Tonight could be different with Mike Evans back in action and Jalen McMillan making his season debut.

Raheem Morris is a dead man walking, it seems. The Falcons...

The San Francisco 49ers’ injury report had a couple of changes on Thursday. First and foremost, Christian McCaffrey was listed as limited because of an illness. The media gets to see roughly 10 to 20 minutes of practice. It’s mostly stretching and the individual drills portion. According to the reporters on hand, McCaffrey was on the field for the early part of the session, but did not do much after ten minutes.

According to The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, McCaffrey “didn’t look terrific in the locker room after practice.” It’s Thursday, and it will take a lot more than being sick...

When Fred Warner went down way back in Week 6 with a dislocated and broken ankle, it appeared his season was definitively over.

The likelihood still remains that Warner has played his last snaps this season, but the lengths to which the 49ers’ All-Pro linebacker is going in his recovery have fueled talk of a comeback in the playoffs if San Francisco does indeed make it into the dance.

Warner is making frequent use of a hyperbaric chamber as he aims to expedite his recovery, with his efforts receiving effusive praise from general manager John Lynch.

Speaking to KNBR on...

The San Francisco 49ers are refreshed following their bye week. The defense could return defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos, which is a welcome sight for a pass rush that can use all the help it can get down the stretch. Meanwhile, the offense is as healthy as it can be minus Brandon Aiyuk and ready to roll for the final four games and the playoff run. The only real question heading into Week 15 will be the MIKE linebacker spot, as Tatum Bethune and the new practice squad addition failed to practice on Wednesday, which would mean Curtis Robinson would start...

Sports Illustrated’s Connor Orr went through the top potential head coaching candidates for 2026. As expected, Robert Saleh was included. What might surprise some is how strong a case Saleh has, and how he might already have a potential landing spot:

Saleh, 46, may have had the best candidacy boost of any coach this season simply by virtue of how his former quarterback and team performed without him. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell dug up the stat that has come to define Saleh’s candidacy for a second head coaching job: In the Jets’ final 17 games with Saleh as head coach,...

You want to live in the moment. Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch would tell us, “We’re taking this season one game at a time.” But the San Francisco 49ers just had their bye week, and you can’t help but look ahead and play the “What if?” game.

The 49ers will be favored in each remaining game of the season. Yes, even against the potential No. 1-seeded Seattle Seahawks in Week 18 at Levi’s Stadium — as of today, anyway. Plenty can change from now until Week 18. In fact, it’s expected to. The seeding in the NFC playoff picture will...

The San Francisco 49ers will be gearing up to face the Indianapolis Colts this weekend, and the Colts now have a new another quarterback. His name: Philip Rivers. A quarterback who retired in the 2021 offseason.

This isn’t the first time a team has tried to pull him out of retirement.

Back in 2022, the 49ers had a quarterback injury situation not unlike what the Colts face now. First, Trey Lance went down in Week 2, and Jimmy Garoppolo returned once again as the starting quarterback. Then he broke his foot in Week 13, opening the door for Brock...

Coming out of their bye, the San Francisco 49ers are officially in the stretch run and race for the NFC West and even the number one overall seed in the NFC. The 49ers’ path has changed, Philip Rivers, anyone? The goal remains the same. Win out and see where the chips land. The final four games begin with a matchup against the Tennessee Titans, who are again in contention for the first pick in the NFL Draft. The team will get reinforcements back and have their stars rested after the bye, ready to go for the stretch and playoff run....

49ers vs. Titans injury report: 6 players miss Wednesday’s practice
“[Eric Kendricks] got a tight calf today, so I’m not sure how much he’s going to go today—if he’s going to go,” Shanahan said. “But he’s working back into here. Hopefully, it’s not too bad of a setback with that, but we’ll see him when he gets on the field.”

Additionally, kicker Eddy Piñeiro returned to practice after missing time with a hamstring injury.“

Kyle Shanahan previews 49ers-Titans Week 15 matchup
“”I spent it hanging out with the family, relaxing. It was fun to kind of just watch football Thursday,...

The San Francisco 49ers had a different offseason this past year, electing to save money as they released several veterans, while letting other key free agents walk as they prioritized the draft.

While doing so, the 49ers did extend multiple key starters, such as Brock Purdy, Fred Warner, and George Kittle. They ended up drafting 11 players in May, and several of those pieces have gone on to either be starters or rotational players in 2025.

The youth reset was needed as San Francisco was heading to be one of the NFL’s oldest rosters. They hadn’t been hitting on draft...

Here’s a look at Wednesday’s practice report

LB Tatum Bethune (ankle)
DE Sam Okuayinonu (ankle)
LB Nick Martin (concussion)

Nick Martin still has symptoms and is still in the concussion protocol.
Limited: FB Kyle Juszczyk (ribs)

Juszczyk’s ability to do something in practice is a good sign.

The 49ers will officially open edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos’s practice window on Thursday, per Kyle Shanahan. The team didn’t open Gross-Matos’s window on Wednesday because the offseason plan they had put together:

“Just how our whole offseason went with him, and our plan this year. We don’t ever practice him two days in...

The San Francisco 49ers continue to make changes to their practice squad. After recently opening the practice window for quarterback Kurtis Rourke, the team released Adrian Martinez from the practice squad. Martinez returned to the New York Jets on Wednesday.

Eddy Pineiro is back practicing, which also means there is no need for kicker Matt Gay. Wide receiver Javon Baker filled one of those spots on the practice squad, but there was still another spot open.

The Niners filled that spot late Wednesday morning by signing cornerback Isaiah Bolden to the practice squad. Bolden was drafted in the seventh round...
