San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is likely itching to get back on the field after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 7 last season, but he and the team may have broken an NFL rule as he works his way back from a torn ACL and MCL.

The San Francisco 49ers reportedly attempted to bolster their wide receiver depth by trading for John Metchie III, but the Philadelphia Eagles landed him instead.

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has high praise for this crucial acquisition from the offseason after the loss to the 49ers.

The 49ers kicker was on his way to being a shaky summer storyline until two kicks in the final minute bought him some breathing room.

For a moment during Saturday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, it seemed as if the San Francisco 49ers had turned back the clock with an Owens streaking through the opposing secondary.

The 49ers lost Talanoa Hufanga to the Denver Broncos in free agency, leaving them without a true answer in the middle of their secondary. Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha are currently penciled in as the two starters, but that could definitely change before Week 1.

Through just two preseason games, the 49ers already have four injured running backs -- Isaac Guerendo (shoulder), Patrick Taylor Jr. (shoulder), Jordan James (finger) and Corey Kiner (ankle). Their only healthy running backs currently are Christian McCaffrey, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Ke'Shawn Vaughn.
