Two stars return to 49ers practice—George Kittle off PUP and Christian McCaffrey back after a planned rest—fueling a spirited session led by Brock Purdy, who traded pointed banter with Fred Warner before delivering a big gain to Deebo Samuel. Purdy’s leadership and Kittle’s reconnect with the offense boost hopes for sharper two-tight-end looks, while McCaffrey’s load-management plan is on display. The 49ers head to Week 1 in Melbourne vs. the Rams; Nick Bosa is ramping up behind the scenes, Romello Height is out with an undisclosed injury, and undrafted James Thompson Jr. is pushing to earn a roster spot as decisions loom.
San Francisco rolled to a 41-17 preseason victory over Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, with De'Zhaun Stribling posting a game-high 90.5 offensive grade and rookie James Thompson Jr. leading the defense at 90.3; Brock Purdy was the top QB with a 64.1 offensive grade, while Adrian Martinez struggled (26.3) with two interceptions but a rushing TD. The 49ers allowed 17 pressures (mostly by the O-line), and the article highlights top performers and their snap counts across offense, defense, and special teams.
San Francisco’s depth showed in a 41-17 preseason win over the Chargers, with De'Zhaun Stribling catching four of five targets for 45 yards, Jacob Cowing returning a punt 83 yards for a touchdown, CB Jack Jones contributing in coverage, and LB Tatum Bethune logging five tackles as the 49ers highlighted standout performances ahead of the regular season.
Jacob Cowing’s 83-yard punt-return TD lit the way as the 49ers beat the Chargers 41-17 in the preseason, possibly locking in his returner role; De’Zhaun Stribling stayed involved on offense, while Mac Jones and Adrian Martinez split quarterback reps with mixed results; Austen Pleasants’ left guard competition remains unsettled; Eddy Piñeiro was perfect on all first-half kicks as San Francisco heads into the next preseason game.
San Francisco rolled to a 41-17 win over the Chargers in Week 2 of the NFL preseason, with De'Zhaun Stribling continuing his strong camp (4 catches, 46 yards) and Jacob Cowing delivering a punt-return TD as he contends for a roster spot. Kaelon Black showed burst and elite pass-blocking, Brock Purdy looked sharp in a brief series, and the 49ers weighed running back and left guard depth as they prep for Week 1 against the Rams, aided by Sincere McCormick, Adrian Martinez, and several backups making cases for their spots.
In the 49ers’ second preseason game vs. the Chargers, Brock Purdy moved the offense efficiently on a 4-for-6, 29-yard opening drive highlighted by De’Zhaun Stribling’s multiple catches; the first-team defense showed sparks from Okuayinonu, Dugger and Lenoir before Deion Green left with a hamstring injury; rookie Kaelon Black impressed with 33 yards on eight carries, while Sincere McCormick added a 37-yard run and a TD; special teams produced a standout moment as Deebo Samuel lined up for the first punt return and rookie Cowing returned an 83-yard punt for a TD, likely cementing a roster spot amid Patrick Taylor Jr.’s IR designation.
In a 41-17 preseason win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium, San Francisco rookies DeZhaun Stribling and Kaelon Black impressed. Stribling caught 4 of 5 targets for 46 yards, including a near-TD catch that coach Kyle Shanahan said was a catch he must make, and he has 11 catches for 109 yards over two preseason games. Black, making his debut after an adductor strain, rushed eight times for 33 yards with his longest run of 9 yards; Shanahan said he liked his physical running and would have liked to keep him in longer, health permitting. The duo is drawing early praise and quieting doubters about the 49ers' draft choices.
The 49ers host the Chargers in their second preseason game, with possible starter time for Brock Purdy before backups rotate in. Key young players to watch include RB Kaelon Black (in the spotlight with Christian McCaffrey out and Jordan James sidelined), WR De’Zhaun Stribling, OL Carver Willis, DL Gracen Halton, S Ji’Ayir Brown, and CB Renardo Green as San Francisco evaluates depth across the lineup and positions such as left guard, defensive tackle, safety, and cornerback.
San Francisco heads into the Chargers game still sorting the left guard job (Jones, Colby, Willis), evaluating safety depth, and determining WR depth behind Deebo Samuel and Demarcus Robinson ahead of cutdown day.
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan joked that former colleague Robert Saleh has more discipline than Tennessee’s head coach after a notably tame joint practice, continuing the playful banter between the two, with Harbaugh now leading the Chargers and a possible reply from Saleh on the way.
During a joint practice ahead of Thursday’s preseason game, the Chargers flashed with Justin Herbert performing well and rookie Brenen Thompson saying they 'tore them up,' while the 49ers’ offense had ups and downs and Brock Purdy admitted it wasn’t their best day, noting receiver injuries; Kaelon Black returned to practice as both teams prepare for the next preseason tilt.
Shanahan said a number of 49ers starters will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Chargers, with Brock Purdy possibly among them, after resting the first unit in last week's opener; kickoff is 10 p.m. ET.
