San Francisco 49ers News

Given their respective injuries, the performance from the 49ers and Lions on defense this week was incredible.

49ers have lost another defensive end to injury: Bryce Huff injured his hamstring near the end of Sunday night’s win over Atlanta and HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters, “Hopefully it won't be longer than two weeks.” 49ers already were without DEs Nick Bosa and Tarron Jackson.

Cohn & Krueger: What Bryce Huff's Hamstring Injury Means for the 49ers

.@brianajeannel delivers your @SAP Niners Notes for Week 7 🎙️

#49ers will evaluate the following players this week - but Shanahan did say that Brock Purdy playing this week would be a "stretch" Upton Stout (ankle) Rocky Pearsall (knee) Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring/knee) Spencer Burford may have his practice window opened

Apparently another week of Mac Jones as the starter, as the #49ers continue to make sure Brock Purdy is 100% healthy.

#49ers hope to get Bryce Huff back in two weeks - Kyle Shanahan shared that it doesn't change the urgency of a need to trade for a DE

#49ers DE Bryce Huff was hurt on one of the last couple of defensive plays, according to Kyle Shanahan.

Sounds like another week of Mac Jones for the #49ers, who visit Houston on Sunday.

49ers updates: QB Brock Purdy likely a reach to return this week at Houston, “will continue like he did last week,” said Shanahan, noting Houston turf not a factor DE Bryce Huff (hamstring) and C Jake Brendel (hamstring) out couple weeks CB Renardo Green does not have turf toe

#49ers will continue monitoring QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) this week. No certainty on either returning against the Texans on Sunday at this point.

#49ers C Jake Brendel (hamstring) will be out a few weeks CB Renardo Green (toe) will be evaluated this week DL Bryce Huff (hamstring) will miss a few weeks

DE Bryce Huff and C Jake Brendel are both expected to miss a couple of weeks with hamstring injuries, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Bryce Huff suffered a hamstring injury last night and will miss "a couple of weeks," according to Kyle Shanahan.

#49ers CB Renardo Green (toe) will be day to day this week. He does NOT have turf toe. C Jake Brendel and DE Bryce Huff have hamstring injuries and will miss a couple of weeks, per Kyle Shanahan.

.@Realrclark25 and @mspears96 give 49ers' DC Robert Saleh credit for how prepared the 49ers were despite losing Fred Warner 💪

Wishing a happy Diwali to all celebrating! ✨

Snap counts for #49ers vs ATL

Heartwarming: Christian McCaffrey swapped jersey's with Bijan Robinson after last night's game and inscribed a note telling him he's the best player in the NFL. "You're the best in the game" ❤️ CMC is the definition of a class act. (h/t @mattblively)

Texans play in Seattle tonight then host the 49ers on Sunday -- will be the 49ers' second consecutive opponent coming off a short week that includes a multiple-time-zone trip. But short weeks are easier when they're road->home compared to ATL's home->road situation last week.

CMC had a night 🤩

😂😂 (via @49ers)

#49ers TE George Kittle pointed to Atlanta's defense being a bit smaller, particularly upfront as a reason the Niners were able to power up and run more gap scheme with success last night. To wit: Per @NextGenStats: Christian McCaffrey gained 109 yards + a TD on 15 runs between the tackles with +44 rushing yards over expected. He totaled 7 explosive runs (10+ yards) on the night, tying his career high.

49ers had 39 runs and 26 pass attempts last night. From the predictions last week:
