Herbert Sparks Confidence as Chargers Take on 49ers in Joint Practice

Justin Herbert looked sharp against the 49ers in a joint practice, with McCaffrey sidelined by “tightness” rather than a contract issue. San Francisco’s Kaelon Black and Deebo Samuel flashed in the run game and passing drills, while rookie De’Zhaun Stribling offered upside in the receiving corps. On the Chargers’ side, Omarion Hampton showed explosiveness, but offensive-line injuries piled up—Tyler Biadasz was carted off, and Quentin Johnston, Kyle Kennard and Rashawn Slater left reps shortened—highlighting continued O-line concerns as San Francisco’s new-look receiver group, including Mike Evans, looks to take shape.

Herbert and Lance Erupt as Chargers Tear Through 49ers in Joint Practice

Day 14 of the 49ers-Chargers joint practice featured a strong Chargers offense with Justin Herbert, Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei connecting on long TDs, while the 49ers’ defense struggled. The Good list highlighted Kaelon Black’s return as a top back, a visible but limited appearance by Christian McCaffrey, solid coverage by Renardo Green (before a collision with Fred Warner knocked him out), and productive showings from Trenton Irwin and Demarcus Robinson. The Not So Good side pointed to the defense surrendering big plays, Mike Evans leaving with a quad strain, De’Zhaun Stribling’s inconsistency despite red-zone TDs, Brock Purdy’s interception under pressure, and Mac Jones also throwing one. Injuries and uncertainty—like Nick Bosa’s availability and players’ health—loom over SF, while questions about the offense and QB touch persist amid an unsettled defensive performance.
