Now, the 49ers and Giants turn the page on their history with a matchup of Mac Jones (?) and Jaxson Dart. Coming off a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants are reeling a bit with the unfortunate season-ending injury to promising rookie running back Cam Skattebo. As for the 49ers, where to start with the injury discussion?

Yes, the 49ers acquired a pair of defensive linemen earlier this week. But neither is exactly the edge pass rusher the 49ers currently lack.

One of the internet’s largest 49ers content creators doubled down on promoting a broad conspiracy theory about the team this week, wondering openly on YouTube and X whether electromagnetic fields could be causing a spike in injuries to San Francisco players.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was mic'd up for his second game back from injury, so fans got an up-close reaction to his touchdown.

Yet there is evidence the praise for Dart isn’t hyperbole. He starred at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin, and was the only quarterback other than No. 1 overall selection Cam Ward to go in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, with the Giants taking him at No. 23 overall.

A familiar face returns to the San Francisco 49ers as defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell joins the team’s practice squad. Ferrell’s return marks his second stint in red and gold, adding depth to the 49ers’ roster following the addition of Keion White in exchange for a sixth-round pick.

Mac Jones addressed a reporter's question about the 49ers' difficulty in winning games despite having a 5-3 record so far this season.
