The 49ers are in a good spot to put their best foot forward coming out of the bye week for the second straight season

The San Francisco 49ers' first-half results were mediocre. If a team had a losing record, the Niners won. However, it was a different story against teams with a winning record.

If all goes right, the cheat code known as Christian McCaffrey is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When you strip over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 21 touchdowns from any offense, regression is inevitable. He made a video game-like...

For now, this has tremendous playoff ramifications

The season starts on Sunday for the 49ers. Sitting at 4-4, the 49ers currently behind the Bears and ahead of the Rams and Bucs for the ninth seed in the NFC. Of course, every game is critical, but out of the bye week against an NFC opponent, it might prove to be the most important game remaining on the schedule for the 49ers.

NFL.com’s playoff predictions have the 49ers at a 57 percent chance of making the playoffs, and a win against Tampa Bay raises those chances to 63 percent. However, a loss...

The 49ers made only one trade at the deadline, acquiring a defensive lineman.

The San Francisco 49ers made only one move at the trade deadline, adding defensive tackle Khalil Davis from the Houston Texans for a 2026 seventh-round pick in a low-cost move.

Going into the deadline, it was unclear what approach the 49ers would take, as the team has gone bold in the past, like with the Christian McCaffrey move, while also looking for low-risk additions as well, such as the move they made on Tuesday.

The defensive line appeared to be a priority and that’s where the 49ers...

The 49ers will have plenty of opportunities in the red zone this Sunday against the Bucs

The San Francisco 49ers used the bye week to determine what went wrong in their 4-4 start to the season and will hope to fix those issues for the second half.

The first chance for improvement will come on Sunday in Tampa Bay when the 49ers take on a Buccaneers team looking to end a three-game losing streak. However, the biggest fix for the 49ers can’t be found on film but with a return.

Our numbers to know this week begin with a uniform...

San Francisco recently added two veteran safeties amid injuries at the position.

The San Francisco 49ers had a quiet trade deadline, but one of their more notable moves was adding safety Tashaun Gipson to their practice squad with the intention of elevating him to the active roster when ready.

Gipson, 34, had been with the 49ers in each of the past two seasons, serving as a full-time starter in both years as a stable piece in the secondary. But, he had a six-game suspension to start the year, while San Francisco went younger, starting Talanoa Hufanga and Ji’Ayir Brown, while...

Can we get another fun game?

Tonight’s Thursday Night Football should be another fun one, despite how the odds seem a big large, if not one-sided. The Baltimore Ravens are hosting the Cincinnati Bengals in an AFC North Divisional game.

These two teams squared off a few weeks ago in a fun little game that went to overtime. It ended in the Ravens’ favor 41-38 in overtime. Since then, the Bengals have been trying to get out of their awful start to the season. They have won three of the last four games since then. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is...

Jon Feliciano’s potential return made Dieter Eiselen’s spot expendable.

The San Francisco 49ers announced a couple of transactions Thursday morning. Linebacker Jalen Graham was re-signed to the team’s practice squad. The corresponding move was to release Dieter Eiselen from the team’s practice squad.

Eiselen was an undrafted free agent from Yale in the 2020 NFL Draft class. He appeared in five games over two seasons with the Chicago Bears and the Houston Texans.

Jon Feliciano was a limited participant during Wednesday’s practice. The veteran figures to be the swing interior offensive lineman, which jeopardized Eiselen’s roster spot. Feliciano had his...

It was an obvious move, despite not trading for a household name.

Was it a crystal ball? Astrology? Just a hunch? Whatever the source was for 49ers fans, they were dead on in predicting the 49ers would add a defensive tackle at the trade deadline. Khalil Davis was acquired as a rotational defensive tackle from Houston, the second former Texan the 49ers added with Maliek Collins in the offseason.

In our FanDuel Sportsbook-sponsored survey for the trade deadline, 43 percent of 49ers nailed the defensive tackle position in our poll asking which position the 49ers would add to on Tuesday....

Looking back at the previous 3 seasons to let history tell us which player on each side of the ball who will step up for the Niners in the second half of the season

The San Francisco 49ers head into the second half of the season with Super Bowl aspirations. Nothing has changed in that regard. That has been the goal for the Niners since the offseason program began in the spring.

It’s not uncommon for teams to get hit by the injury bug. The Detroit Lions lost their best player. The Green Bay Packers have played multiple games without...
