Kaelon Black shines as 49ers roll in preseason while Green exits with hamstring injury

San Francisco defeated the Chargers 41-17 in the preseason as rookie Kaelon Black stood out with 33 yards on eight carries, while Renardo Green left early with a hamstring injury. The secondary rotated with Jaden Dugger and Deomondore Lenoir seeing action. Deebo Samuel appears in top form and Dre Greenlaw is encouraged by his health; George Kittle’s return to practice status looks positive, and left guard Carver Willis helped energize the run game ahead of a Week 3 date with the Rams.

De’Zhaun Stribling is highlighted as a potential value pick, described as big and fast with blocking ability, and compared to Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, fueling the ongoing debate over best-player-available versus need that is unlikely to be settled soon.

49ers unveil eight-player draft blueprint emphasizing versatility and long-term development

San Francisco’s 2026 draft recap shows John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan explaining an eight-player class built for long-term development and roster competition. The 49ers shuffled picks with multiple trades (including a back-and-forth with the Ravens for extra future capital and a trade of Dee Winters to Dallas) to maximize value, while emphasizing versatility and character in the new rookies. Key selections like Kaelon Black, Gracen Halton, Jaden Dugger, Enrique Cruz Jr., and others are viewed as long-term fits who can contribute at different spots, with the team prioritizing best-player value over immediate need and planning to integrate the rookies into the offseason program.

Rams land Trent McDuffie, widening gap with the 49ers

The Rams traded for cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs, giving up the No. 29 pick, plus a fifth- and sixth-round pick and a 2027 third-rounder. McDuffie, a top nickel corner, should shore up Los Angeles’ coverage and could widen the division gap versus the 49ers, setting the stage for an active offseason in San Francisco as it addresses secondary, defensive line, and receiver needs.
