49ers Add Samuel Sloman To Practice Squad

The San Francisco 49ers have added kicker Samuel Sloman to their practice squad. This doesn't come as a shock with Robbie Gould (knee) uncertain for Week 6. The 49ers want to add insurance in case Gould is unable to go. Sloman hasn't played this season but knocked down 11 of 13 field-goal attempts for the […]

Marlon Mack Cut By 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers released running back Marlon Mack on Tuesday and signed defensive tackle T.Y. McGill to their practice squad in a corresponding move.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 6: Daniel Jones, Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Kenny Pickett

Week 5 is nearly in the books and NFL offenses continue to struggle. Josh Allen paced all quarterbacks in passing yards (424) and passing touchdowns (four) in a rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Outside of that, the quarterback position was disappointing. Only three other quarterbacks (Carson Wentz, Tom Brady, and Kenny Pickett) threw for over […]

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (knee) is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was finally able to get significantly involved during the Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Niners' 37-15 victory over the Carolina Panthers. He also carried the ball twice for 12 yards.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. gained 120 yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown in the Niners' 37-15 victory over the Carolina Panthers. He added one catch for 12 yards.

Robbie Gould Done For Rest Of Week 5

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (knee) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. It's unknown how severe his current knee issue is, although it is apparently bad enough for the team to rely on punter Mitch Wishnowsky for the remainder of Week 5. Before going down, Gould made his only kick, a […]

Nick Bosa Done For Rest Of Week 5

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (groin) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Carolina Panthers.
