The 49ers will care little about their 2-0 preseason record after defeating the Minnesota Vikings last Saturday, but they will have been extremely satisfied by the several positive performances that helped secure another win. They’ll aim to make it a perfect 3-0 preseason Thursday vs. the Texans.
San Francisco predominantly played the backups in the 17-7 success in Minnesota, with Javon Kinlaw, Spencer Burford, Aaron Banks and Samuel Womack the only players likely to start Week 1 who saw playing time in Minnesota.
