The Latest Breaking News from 49ers

Trey Lance is the starter. Jimmy Garoppolo is the backup. That's clear now per Kyle Shanahan.

The #49ers have agreements to bring back TE Tyler Kroft and DE Jordan Willis.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jimmy Garoppolo’s re-entry to the 49ers is underway. Did he ever leave? Well, he certainly wasn’t part of training camp practices and meetings. Instead, he was isolated to throwing on a side field with his repaired shoulder, awaiting an opportunity elsewhere that would never arise.

The 49ers initial 53-man roster is out!

Having a former Super Bowl quarterback in waiting could prevent starter Trey Lance from being comfortable.

It doesn't sound like the Bears are going to trade Teven Jenkins, especially as he's emerged as the starting right guard.

Some thoughts on Jimmy Garoppolo staying in San Francisco:

Jones, a fifth-round pick from Southern Utah, is expected to start the regular-season opener against the 49ers. Jenkins has established himself at right guard after moving there on Aug. 15 — though trade rumors persist.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — There’s been a last-minute reprieve to Jimmy Garoppolo’s 49ers tenure.

With Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, the Niners could have parted ways with the QB and saved $27 million in cap space. Plus, a tribute to the innovation of Ernie Zampese and more.

Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy isn’t going to fuel anticipation of a Fields breakthrough. But WR Darnell Mooney said Fields is ready to blossom, starting with Week 1 vs. the 49ers. “That team passed on him. So they’re gonna have to pay a little bit for that.”
