John Lynch on Mike Evans’ Achilles injury: ‘I think the idea is you’ve just got to quiet that thing down’

(Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images) | Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers are hopeful to get a handful of reinforcements back at practice next week. One of those players expected to return in the near future is Mike Evans, who missed Week 7 with multiple injuries. It didn’t make sense to play Evans on a short week with the bye coming up. According to general manager John Lynch, “Mike’s been working tirelessly.” On KNBR, Lynch said, “He’ll continue to do that. He’s on a great plan, an

Do the 49ers have the resources for another trade deadline splash?

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 11: General Manager John Lynch of the San Francisco 49ers gestures after the game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on October 11, 2026 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images) | Getty Images The 49ers have already filled one significant need ahead of the trade deadline, making a move that made perfect sense in reuniting with defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. San Francisco sent a fourth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts to bring b

Should the 49ers offer the Jets a Jeffery Simmons deal for Garrett Wilson?

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images) | Getty Images One of the best players at his position signed a three-year, $105.8 million extension this past summer. That player was traded Thursday morning to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2027 and 2028 first-round pick. The Titans also sent a fourth-rounder this year, while the Bears sent back a 2028 fifth-rounder. It’s a deal you make when Jeffery Simmons just turned 29. The Bears are telling you they believe Simmons will provide more value than t

Ranking the NFC Contenders with the 49ers: The Bears are all-in

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images) | Getty Images What a few days in the NFL world, specifically the NFC. The San Francisco 49ers welcome back an old friend in DeForest Buckner, Seattle welcomes the NFL’s best guard, and now the Bears send two first-round picks for DT Jeffrey Simmons in a clear “all-in” move. What was once an NFC West arms race has become an NFC arms race. With the conference pretty wide open, this is the best opportunity for any team that believes they are close. I a

49ers release struggling cornerback

(Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers have released cornerback Jack Jones to make room for DeForest Buckner. It was a relatively easy decision after Jones had a rough outing against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. That wasn’t the only time Jones struggled this season. In Week 3, Jones gave up 53 yards in coverage on five targets. Atlanta picked on Jones in coverage. He allowed four of his five targets to be completed

Explosive play rates: A tale of two sides for the 49ers

(Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images) | Getty Images As the San Francisco 49ers enjoy their bye week and evaluate their season through seven weeks, the front office has been busy making calls around the NFL. DeForest Buckner is back, and an educated guess would be that the organization isn’t done making moves. With a 6-1 record, even after a frustrating loss to Atlanta, the 49ers couldn’t ask for a better start, especially with wins over tough defenses like Denver and Seattle. How have the 49

Brock Purdy’s slump: Why the 49ers QB has struggled since Week 5, and what fixes it

Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images | Getty Images As the 49ers took the field last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, they had exactly four eligible wide receivers for the game — Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Christian Kirk, and Jordan Watkins. Yes, they had George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey (albeit a Christian McCaffrey who missed most of the first half with a quadriceps injury), but the absences of Mike Evans (Achilles tendon), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), and Dema

Can past midseason trades for the 49ers signal potential future trades?

(Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images) | Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers are on bye week, but trade rumors and speculation are swirling around the team. The Seattle Seahawks traded for All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson, and the Niners countered by sending a fourth-round pick for our old friend DeForest Buckner. Based on rumors and reports, it doesn’t seem like the team is done adding to the roster. The choices are more defensive line help (yes, please), a wide receiver to improve depth or a true

49ers listed as a best fit for 4 potential trade candidates

Photo by David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers upgraded at defensive tackle on Tuesday by adding DeForest Buckner. But are they done? Should they be? Adding an edge rusher and a wide receiver remain popular topics that we’ve discussed. If the 49ers didn’t face the Raiders coming out of the bye, Maxx Crosby might already be a Niner — but it’d also require the Raiders to be willing to do business with San Francisco. Khalil Ma
