Starters Sitting in Preseason Opener | NFL News

Niners’ preseason opener? Mostly starters sit this one out—Coach Shanahan’s prioritizing health and joint practice reps over game action. A few banged-up guys like Green, Brendel, and Brown might get limited snaps, but stars like Greenlaw and Evans stay sidelined. Smart move: rest the key players for the meaningless first game, saving their energy for the second, when real reps start rolling—and even then, McCaffrey and Williams likely skip it entirely to stay 100% for the regular season.
