49ers Depth & Debutants Shine | NFL News

The 49ers are preparing for their preseason opener against the Titans with a focus on depth, as key starters sit out and Coach Shanahan recovers from a crash. Brock Purdy leads the offense, with Mac Jones and Kurtis Rourke battling for backup duties, while Christian McCaffrey remains the RB1 and Kyle Juszczyk’s absence pushes tight ends into spotlight roles. Rookie De’Zhaun Stribling has dazzled at WR, George Kittle inches closer to returning from Achilles rehab, and Trent Williams anchors the line at 38. Defensively, Nick Bosa and others sit out, opening doors for young DLs like Keion White and Romello Height, while cornerbacks and safeties shine in camp. Special teams feature Eddy Piñeiro and Corliss Waitman, with Deebo Samuel possibly returning kicks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
