Despite Colby’s full-game debut, his performance was underwhelming, echoing past struggles that led to his benching.

With an easier home stretch against the Dolphins and Cardinals, the 49ers may use this window to give Willis reps without elite defensive pressure, helping them decide who truly belongs at the position.
