"Chosen, 32, has a chance to crack the 49ers' 53-man roster, thanks to a depleted receiver room, a new mindset and having a long-lost fan in 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan," Barrows and Tafur wrote. "The last wide receiver spot is one of roughly seven position battles on the docket for Saturday night's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers."

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers are freaking out. You don’t have to take my word for it. No, you merely need to look at their actions over the past week. The Niners are panic-buying players from other teams, looking for quick fixes to problems that have been months and in some cases years in the making.

The veteran back is entering the final year of his rookie contract and had been the subject of trade rumors this summer, and even sat out of Washington's Week 2 preseason exhibition as those talks developed. The Commanders have since found a buyer and have shipped Robinson to the Bay Area in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

Locked into long-term contracts, Brock Purdy, Kyle Shanahan, and John Lynch give the 49ers stability, but their trajectory depends on developing young talent around an aging core and maintaining championship-level coaching.

The San Francisco 49ers just added two notable names. Nate Sudfeld is a familiar face, but he may have swooped in and won the number-three job already. With Mac Jones out it will likely be Sudfeld for one half and Carter Bradley for the other. Sudfeld may look good.

San Francisco put together their best defensive series of the game when they needed it most, as back-to-back sacks set Las Vegas up with a third-and-long. Then, with Raiders quarterback Cam Miller trying to hit wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, 49ers defensive back Jaylen Mahoney made a diving interception.

The San Francisco 49ers were absolutely ravaged by injuries last season, which played a massive role in their disappointing 6-11. And once again this summer, the 49ers are once again experiencing medical issues. So, what is the reason behind San Francisco's inability to stay healthy? Is there a deeper problem here?
