49ers expect Bryce Huff, Jake Brendel to miss two weeks
“I don’t think it changes the urgency of it,” Shanahan said Monday on a conference call with Bay Area reporters.
“It definitely sucks losing Huff, but it is a hamstring and hopefully it won’t be longer than two weeks. So we know he’s coming back and hopefully sooner than later.”

“Here’s everything he said.”
Kawakami: How are the 49ers doing this? Will, toughness, and new faces (paywall)
“Kyle always says it takes a whole team to be able to run the ball,” McCaffrey said. “It takes receivers, it takes tight ends, obviously it takes an O-line, it takes guys like (Kyle Juszczyk), it takes the quarterback being able to stay on the field on third down.

“The depth is coming from veterans and young players alike, as 49ers general manager John Lynch and the personnel department have identified role players who fit the team’s needs.
The 49ers have 18 first- and second-year players. And they have proved to blend well with the veteran players on the roster.
Many of those players already have stepped in and provided the 49ers with a surprising jolt of depth that was severely lacking last season.“
How 49ers DT Kalia Davis removing ‘seatbelt’ sparked breakout 2025 NFL season
“This offseason, I just took my seatbelt off and every snap I just throw off the ball,” Davis told NBC Sports Bay Area after Sunday’s 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. “Put on my college tape, that’s what I was doing. I think when I first got into the league I was overthinking, ‘Is the offensive line doing this? Is he going left, is he going right?’ Now, I just throw off. There’s only so many things an offensive...
