With the official 53-man cut-down day upcoming in eight days, the San Francisco 49ers have tough decisions to make, but could be in the market to improve their questionable wide receiver room. The hope is that players return from injuries to round out the receiver depth, but that strategy is anything but certain.

As Spencer Burford transitions to Trent Williams’ backup at left tackle, the 49ers might need his versatility to compensate for injuries at guard.

The San Francisco 49ers could cut ties with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk depending on his performance following his return during the 2025 season.

Fantasy football drafters have high hopes for Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty. He proved why in Las Vegas' preseason Week 2 matchup against the 49ers.

Puni, a third-round pick of the 49ers last year, played a key role for the team as a rookie. The 25-year-old played a team-high 1,078 offensive snaps, allowing just three sacks, along with 35 pressures and 32 hurries, according to Pro Football Focus.

For the 49ers their health has become a greater concern than their preseason performance. They just need to make sure they have enough healthy bodies to keep their key starters out of harm's way. More than 20 players missed their preseason opener vs. the Denver Broncos with injuries, and that number could rise Saturday when they face the Raiders.

The 49ers kicker was on his way to being a shaky summer storyline until two kicks in the final minute bought him some breathing room.

According to reports, the Houston Texans received a better offer from the Eagles, thus nixing a deal for John Metchie in the NFC West.

The 2024 campaign was a lost season for the San Francisco 49ers. Coming off a narrow, heartbreaking loss in Super Bowl LVIII, they were hoping to finally make good on their prolonged "Quest for Six," only to suffer a prolonged string of key injuries. As a result of those injuries, they went 6-11 and missed the playoffs.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chase Lucas has consistently made plays in training camp and preseason. He explained why after the win over Las Vegas.
