The 49ers rookie has emerged a key playmaker through the first few games of the season.

The San Francisco 49ers enjoyed a 23-20 walk-off victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the weekend, hanging on to get a much-needed win against a feisty opponent.

In a game of adversity, the 49ers relied on a number of their stars, but it was their rookie class that also made a significant impact to help San Francisco pull it together and improve to 5-4.

Rookie Renardo Green stepped in for top cornerback Charvarius Ward, allowing just one catch in the win, while breaking...

The veteran linebacker has seen a change in his play as of late.

The San Francisco 49ers have enjoyed a recent two-game winning streak, most recently beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 over the weekend to improve to 5-4 on the season.

It was a game filled with turns, as the 49ers had some missed opportunities leading to Tampa Bay coming back and even taking the lead at one point before San Francisco pulled off the victory at the end.

This win followed a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys where the 49ers similarly had to hold off a fourth-quarter...

The 49ers are closing in on the top 10 once agian

Sunday’s victory over the Buccaneers had it all. A game-winning drive, tense moments, Christian McCaffrey’s return, special teams gaffes, and a small skirmish on the sideline all contributed to the outcome. The 49ers’ win was more important overall. McCaffrey didn’t cure the 49ers red zone woes, but this game typically ended with a 49ers loss. However you slice it, the 49ers have their first two-game winning streak, and the win has boosted the team’s playoff probability.

The Dolphins did the 49ers a solid.

Monday Night Football capped a mixed-emotion football weekend for the NFC West and San Francisco 49ers fans.

We’ll start with some good news. The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Miami Dolphins 23-15. The loss kicks the Rams to third place in the NFC West, allowing the 49ers to jump to second.

Now the bad: The Arizona Cardinals beat the Jets 31-6. Any other time this happens to the Jets, it seems like a punchline, but 49ers fans aren’t laughing. That win keeps the Cardinals a game ahead of the 49ers and in...

We also learned that the 49ers are who we thought they were

Things were supposed to be different after the bye week. That’s what we were told, at least.

The San Francisco 49ers, traditionally a second-half-of-the-season team, expected the turnaround to start after the week off. After losing three straight games to enter the bye week last season, the 49ers traveled to Florida and whomped the Jacksonville Jaguars by 31 points, leading to a 7-2 back half of the season.

Like last year, the 49ers traveled to Florida off the bye, but this time, their win was much less impressive....

Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan gave some injury updates on Monday.

During his media availability on Monday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan gave injury updates on three players.

He revealed that tight end George Kittle was dealing with some hamstring discomfort on Monday, which the team will be watching closely throughout the week. He also noted that rookie cornerback Renardo Green and punter Mitch Wishnowsky are both day-to-day and being evaluated.

Kittle’s status is obviously the most important of the trio. After getting Christian McCaffrey back onto the field after losing Brandon Aiyuk for the season, the Niners...

The 49ers are looking to continue their recent win streak in a crucial divisional game.

The San Francisco 49ers improved to 5-4 on the season with a 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, securing a much-needed victory off a game-winning field goal.

Now, looking ahead to Week 11, the 49ers return home for a divisional showdown with the Seattle Seahawks, looking to sweep the season series and improve their record within the NFC West.

Seattle has started the year 4-5, and they’re coming off of their bye week, hoping to reset after dropping back-to-back games at...

49ers minutia minute: Christian McCaffrey’s big snap count; kicker beef ‘squashed’ (paywall)

“He was strong on kickoffs, something that has also plagued the 49ers’ special teams this season. All five went into the end zone for touchbacks.

As for the muffed punt, Shanahan said punt-coverage gunners are coached to shove the jammers, the role Luter was in, into the punt returner. He said it was Luter’s responsibility to know where Cowing, the return man, was on the play.

“It’s your job to get out of the way,” he...

Or can the Dolphins snap their current three-game losing streak?

The Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Rams. Two teams with connections to San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, and two teams on very different trajectories. The Rams are on a three-game winning streak, and the Dolphins are on a three-game losing streak.

The Rams have also won some big games. We all remember the 49ers loss in Week 2. The Rams also handed the Minnesota Vikings one of their current two losses. They started the season with injury issues but are getting their pieces back. The most notable...

For the first time in 2024, the 49ers are on a winning streak after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with a Jake Moody game-winning field goal as time expired. While it wasn’t pretty, the fact remains that this was a critical game for the 49ers, as evidenced by their sideline frustration. The team knew the importance of this game. The team is over .500 with a chance to gain more ground for a playoff spot with a win over...

Tashaun Gipson made Adrian Amos’s roster spot expendable, while Darrell Luter Jr.’s replacement might’ve just been signed

The San Francisco 49ers announced a practice squad transaction on Monday afternoon. Veteran safety Adrian Amos was released from the practice squad. The corresponding move was to sign cornerback Nick McCloud.

McCloud has spent the previous three seasons with the New York Giants. McCloud played 286 snaps this season with the Giants, including 116 on special teams.

Amos signed to the team’s practice squad on October 15. He played eight special teams snaps in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys but was not...

The 49ers needed a comeback effort in the second half on Sunday and their quarterback delivered.

The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a key victory on Sunday, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 to improve to 5-4 on the season, starting off the second half of the season with a win.
