Dynamic Dolphins receiver ‘doubtful’ for Sunday’s game against 49ers

Dynamic Dolphins receiver ‘doubtful’ for Sunday’s game against 49ers

After not practicing all week, Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is listed as doubtful against the 49ers.

The Miami Dolphins released their final injury report of the week on Friday, notably listing wide receiver Jaylen Waddle as doubtful with a right knee injury for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. While Waddle has not missed a game this season, he left the Dolphins matchup against the Texans last week early after a scary collision. He has not practiced at all this week.

Waddle was the sixth-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has consistently been an excellent wideout since...

Trent Williams will miss his 5th straight game; Isaac Guerendo officially ruled out

Trent Williams will miss his 5th straight game; Isaac Guerendo officially ruled out

Nick Bosa, Dre Greenlaw, and Robert Beal are all officially questionable.

The San Francisco 49ers officially ruled out left tackle Trent Williams for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams has not played since Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jaylon Moore will continue to start at left tackle. Moore had a rough game against the Los Angeles Rams in pass protection, but he’s grown a lot as a run blocker and has only allowed one sack on the season.

Running back Isaac Guerendo was also ruled out. Patrick Taylor will “most likely” be the starter, according to Kyle Shanahan,...

Brock Purdy and Deommodore Lenoir were in the giving mood during this holiday season

Videos surfaced of Brock Purdy and Deommodore Lenoir giving presents to the offensive line and defensive back room respectively.

We are five days away from Christmas, but a couple of San Francisco 49ers are already playing Santa Claus and are in the giving mood.

Quarterback Brock Purdy, who signed a deal before the start of the 2023 season to appear in Toyota’s regional advertising, gifted the offensive line room ten vehicles. In the video below, Purdy said there were five Sequoia’s and five Tundra’s to go around:

The smiles on their faces should bring anybody joy. That’s cool to see...

3 numbers to know: Can the 49ers contain the Dolphins up and coming pass rush?

3 numbers to know: Can the 49ers contain the Dolphins up and coming pass rush?

Taking a trip down memory lane to see how the 49ers have fared in their trips to Miami since 1995.

Misery loves company, and if you are looking for the AFC counterpart to the San Francisco 49ers misery, look no further than the Miami Dolphins.

Both teams entered 2024 with hopes of playing in New Orleans in February but have fallen well short of those expectations behind subpar performances from their offenses, struggling defenses, and a myriad of injuries – Miami has more players on injured reserve than the 49ers, one of four teams able to claim that.

A Miami...

How has Brock Purdy grown in Year 3 with the 49ers?

How has Brock Purdy grown in Year 3 with the 49ers?

The 49ers quarterback gave an honest assessment of his play ahead of Week 16.

The San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Miami Dolphins this weekend, looking to get back in the win column after a disappointing 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday.

The loss dropped the 49ers to 6-8 on the season, likely ending their season as their slim playoff hopes simmered down even more, which would be only the second time since 2018 that the team has not reached the postseason.

It’s been an inconsistent year for San Francisco, as they’ve struggled to...

Is the offensive line line the problem for the 49ers?

Is the offensive line line the problem for the 49ers?

San Francisco has dealt with some injuries at the position throughout the year.

It’s been a different type of year for the San Francisco 49ers, who find themselves thinking about the future with their playoff hopes all but eliminated entering Week 16.

As the season has gone along, there have been just enough issues in a number of games that have allowed other teams to edge past the 49ers, who boast an ugly 2-5 record in one-score games.

Many of those problems have come on the offensive side of the ball, where the 49ers haven’t been nearly as effective as...

49ers Notes: More RB woes, O-Line ‘not good enough’

“Guerendo joins Trent Williams as confirmed absences for this week. Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Williams’ season is likely over. Guerendo, meanwhile, missed almost all of training camp with a hamstring injury, a recurring problem for him in his young career.”

49ers’ decisions with injured players have backfired during late-season flop (paywall)

“It’s notable that Greenlaw beckoned to the sideline and took himself out. After the game, he said he made the decision because he wanted to “protect...

Broncos-Chargers Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Broncos-Chargers Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Both teams have some playoff chances

NFL Week 15 (and the Festivus week) starts with Thursday Night Football. Tonight, we have an AFC West matchup with the Denver Broncos traveling to Northern California to face the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Broncos didn’t do well in their first game against the Chargers, which was at Mile-High, so a win here would be crucial for divisional concerns. The big thing is that a win over the Chargers would allow the Broncos to clinch a playoff spot.

That’s it. Broncos win, and they are in.

That means the Broncos are in full control...

Recently waived 49ers cornerback fails physical with Colts

Recently waived 49ers cornerback fails physical with Colts

Former 49ers third-round pick Ambry Thomas failed his physical with the Colts.

The San Francisco 49ers recently waived cornerback Ambry Thomas, allowing the Indianapolis Colts to claim him off waivers earlier this week. However, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Colts have nullified the claim because Thomas failed his physical with the team. Thomas had missed some time this season with a forearm injury, but had been cleared by 49ers doctors last month, per Schefter. Nevertheless, the Colts medical staff failed Thomas because they determined his forearm injury still had not healed.

Drafted in the third-round of...

ESPN NFL analyst offers his strategy to retooling 49ers this offseason

Bill Barnwell offered the Niners some offseason strategies.

The San Francisco 49ers are approaching a critical offseason as head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch look to right the ship after a disappointing 2024 campaign, ESPN NFL analyst Bill Barnwell offered his perspective on the team’s best options. In a recent piece breaking down several teams that will fall short of playoff expectations this season, Barnwell suggests three major moves the Niners could make: cut or trade several veterans, only re-sign one of their impending big time defensive free agents, and bring Robert Saleh back as defensive coordinator....

The 49ers and Dolphins are mirror images of each other

There’s the obvious connection between head coaches, but the 49ers and Dolphins have plenty of parallels on the field, too.

Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers will head to Miami to meet with their old friend Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins. In 2021, after a successful tenure as the 49ers' run game coordinator and offensive coordinator, Miami hired McDaniel as head coach to help usher in a new era of Dolphin football.

Since the two friends parted ways, both coaches have led their teams to the playoffs in 2022 & 2023. Unfortunately, both team’s seasons ended at the hands...

Who was the mystery LB the 49ers tried to sign this past offseason besides Eric Kendricks?

We know the 49ers had a deal with Eric Kendricks before signing De’Vondre Campbell, but Kyle Shanahan said the team thought they had another linebacker in the fold.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan admitted the team made a mistake after bringing in De’Vondre Campbell this past season.

As we know, Campbell didn’t make it through Week 15 after refusing to play during the third quarter. Nick Bosa told reporters that Campbell was complaining before the game even started.

Campbell had been vocal at every stop before this, including going on Twitter last season and telling fans how the...
