In 2022, the four-time Pro Bowler recorded 15.5 sacks with the New England Patriots. At 33 years old, Judon could provide a spark to the 49ers' struggling pass rush.

Maybe Jones is just defending his teammate after a rough year. But there’s no denying Jennings has fallen short in 2025. It’s disappointing to see one of the 49ers’ most popular players jeopardize his legacy, though San Francisco’s move to include performance-based incentives suddenly looks very smart.

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Houston Texans, and now they have to go across the country for a game against the New York Giants. Following a season-ending injury to Cam Skattebo, the Giants are searching for answers on the offensive side of the ball.

The New York Giants will be without CB Paulson Adebo and CB Cor'Dale Flott against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9.

San Francisco 49ers third-round pick Nick Martin hasn't made an impact on the defense through the first eight games, but Robert Saleh isn't worried.
