If Bosa and Kittle can’t be fully ready, which absence changes the Rams matchup more? Bosa affects the pass rush every snap; Kittle could reshape how San Francisco attacks the middle. https://t.co/gwk6HBr3VN

49ers DE Nick Bosa, TE George Kittle ramping up, still eyeing opener vs. Rams … A look at who practiced and who was working out on a side field …

Matt Maiocco reports the 49ers owe Aiyuk $0. The football question: is his projected production worth repairing the relationship, or should San Francisco redirect those targets and roster resources elsewhere? https://t.co/ktofFXDUWZ

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

The 49ers still haven’t named a left guard starter—and Jarrett Patterson may have a real shot. @LombardiHimself notes the Laken Tomlinson precedent: trade acquisition, then immediate LG starter. Could history repeat? https://t.co/G0zlgZEWAj

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

Might 49ers trade acquisition Jarrett Patterson be their starter at left guard?

Shanahan said a starter there hasn't yet been picked while citing the trade. There is precedent: 9 years ago today — Aug. 31 — the 49ers traded for Laken Tomlinson and he became their starter at LG for a half decade

@YahooSports @grantcohn Purdy has a 104 career passer rating and we’re supposed to believe Mac Jones surviving roster cuts is a threat

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

Mustapha, Bosa, Kittle all back at practice this week

the 49ers injury report is finally starting to look less like a CVS receipt

[𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙎𝙁𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 @TheSFNiners]

#49ers S Malik Mustapha will return to practice this week

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

@datprettymferr @AdamSchefter yeah and somehow they keep looking better after leaving Oakland. weird

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

@Dontatmebrotha @AdamSchefter difference is our leftovers usually make the roster

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

@B_contreras74 @AdamSchefter “you guys always take our castoffs” while defending your team for taking ours is elite Raiders logic

even the argument finished 4th in the division

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

@ausmenthompson @AdamSchefter and somehow the Raiders still picked first on waivers. appreciate you proving the point

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

@SleeperNFL @SleeperSF49ers @SleeperSeahawks @RamsTapes the 49ers have a CEO named Al Guido and this is how I’m finding out

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

@PatMcAfeeShow @gkittle46 Kittle practicing tomorrow and the 49ers claiming nobody off waivers

apparently the roster plan is just “get George back and pray”

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

The 49ers saw their punter, long snapper and two offensive linemen on the roster and decided Sunday needed a full-blown yard sale. https://t.co/jiGtYrZ0OC

[49ers Webzone @49erswebzone]

The #49ers made some surprising roster moves Sunday, releasing their punter and long snapper while placing two offensive linemen on season-ending IR.

The 49ers didn’t trim the roster. They performed a full offseason software update and left 33 players on the uninstall screen. https://t.co/NhUmHiAjcE

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

Houston is treating its offensive line like a garage sale. San Francisco got Jarrett Patterson, while Dallas also went shopping. Buy one, trade one? https://t.co/7SmUObiCeP

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

Could center/guard versatility make Patterson a key 49ers depth piece? @KP_Show notes he has 17 career starts at center and 4 at left guard for Houston. https://t.co/xYM1GnHrub

[Kyle Posey @KP_Show]

Patterson started the first 8 games as a rookie in 2023 for the Texans at center under Bobby Slowik before suffering a fractured fibula that ended his season. He started another 9 at center in '24. He started 4 games at left guard last season for the Texans. 49ers opting for/valuing experience along the IOL.

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

The Texans accepted a 2027 seventh for Jarrett Patterson. Somewhere, a draft pick that cannot legally drive yet just got traded for a center. https://t.co/DLtxbsEA0f

[Matt Maiocco @MaioccoNBCS]

The 49ers send their 2027 seventh-round pick to the Texans for C Jarrett Patterson, per source.

[Niners Intel @NinersIntel]

Rams just got a whole lot scarier

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

🚨 🚨 🚨

He’s back: Rams star Aaron Donald is coming out of retirement and returning to the Rams on a one-year, $20M deal that with incentives could be worth up to $30M, per @rapsheet and me.

After two seasons away, Donald now will join forces with Myles Garrett, giving the Rams two of the top defensive linemen in NFL history.

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

Trade! The Texans are sending OL Jarrett Patterson to the 49ers, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
