If you thought the Niners’ injury issues couldn’t get worse before the team’s astonishing loss to the Rams, think again. A decimated red and gold squad limped into SoFi Stadium, then literally and figuratively limped out. Things couldn’t be going much worse for the defending NFC champions. In a conference call with reporters on Monday…

The hospital wing of the 49ers facility in Santa Clara is already crowded. As of Thursday afternoon, it doesn’t look like the capacity will be thinning any time soon.

It’s amazing how much difference a day makes. 48 hours ago, the 49ers and their fans were walking the walk, rolling into Minnesota after a statement week one with all the confidence in the world. With good reason too, for the most part. Now a perennial NFC juggernaut, San Francisco and its faithful had, (and…

Christian McCaffrey has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game in Minnesota. After a late scratch in Monday’s season opener, his earlier out designation in week two reflects the heightened concern San Francisco has for his Achilles tendinitis. Kyle Shanahan announced McCaffrey’s official status Friday afternoon, and ominously didn’t rule out a trip to IR…

49ers fans woke up on Monday morning under the impression that their all world running back Christian McCaffrey would be in the backfield for the season opener against New York at Levi’s Stadium later that evening. Fast forward just over 24 hours, and the immediate future of No. 23 is far less clear. Niners fans…

It’s been nearly seven months since the 49ers trudged off the field in Las Vegas, licking their latest fresh wound as the Chiefs danced with their third Lombardi.

After a summer that consistently featured no news, the last five days has been full of breaking news for the 49ers. Too much breaking news, in fact. The Brandon Aiyuk months-long stalemate came to an official end on Thursday, as he inked a four-year $120 Million contract extension. $76 Million of that is guaranteed. On…

Preseason football rarely satisfies the appetites of football hungry fans late in the summer. The stakes are obviously near zero for established players. Few even play, especially not for teams who make annual postseason pilgrimages that naturally shorten the off-season. But storylines persist, nevertheless. Brock Purdy played without most of his fellow offensive starters, the…

Brandon Aiyuk’s contract saga has soured like a glass of milk in the warm Santa Clara sun. A once innocent back and forth, routine for the Kyle Shanahan 49ers nearly every summer, has quickly devolved into a nasty cold war with both sides entrenched in their stances.
