Deebo Samuel Explodes For 189 Yards And A Touchdown

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught nine of 12 targets for 189 yards and a touchdown in an impressive outing during Sunday's 41-33 Week 1 win against the Detroit Lions. Samuel was drafted as a WR3/WR4 behind Brandon Aiyuk, who was held to zero receptions against a bad Lions defense. Samuel experienced ups […]

Elijah Mitchell Rushes For 104 Yards During Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell carried 19 times for 104 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. The rookie running back was given the primary workload after Raheem Mostert suffered a minor knee injury in the first quarter of their Week 1 win. Mitchell will likely be […]

Trey Lance Throws Touchdown Pass During Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance completed his lone pass attempt for a five-yard touchdown to Trent Sherfield in the first quarter to put the 49ers up 7-0. Unfortunately, this was the only significant production Lance delivered during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. Garoppolo looked good against a bad defense and will […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Throws For Over 300 Yards In Week 1 Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 314 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. The 49ers' offensive line provided a clean pocket for the majority of the game, which allowed Garoppolo to connect with Deebo Samuel on a monstrous 79-yard touchdown pass in […]

Jason Verrett Feared To Have Torn ACL

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he thinks cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. It's terrible news for a player that just has not been able to stay healthy. Verrett was a first-round pick by the Chargers in 2014, but […]

Raheem Mostert Does Not Have An ACL Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) doesn't have an ACL injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Although that is good news, it certainly doesn't paint a clearer picture of the type of ailment plaguing the 29-year-old. After Mostert's premature exit against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, rookie Elijah Mitchell entered and had […]

Raheem Mostert Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions. Maybe this is just precautionary in a game where the Niners are up by 21 in the third quarter, or maybe this could be something that keeps Mostert out of […]

Raheem Mostert Questionable To Return In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions. Mostert has two carries for 20 yards so far. With Trey Sermon being a healthy scratch, Elijah Mitchell appears set to be the lead back for the rest of this game. Mitchell was a popular waiver wire […]

Trey Sermon Won't Play In Season Opener

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Trey Sermon will be a healthy scratch for the Week 1 season opener against the Detroit Lions. This comes as a pretty big surprise heading into Week 1 matchups, as the first-year back wasn't on the injury report this week and is listed as the primary backup to Raheem […]
