On Sunday morning, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the San Francisco 49ers are targetting Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks to debut quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Head coach Kyle Shanahan denied the report and said the team continues to take it one week at a time and there is no set timeline for Garoppolo to get behind center.

"It never was the plan," Shanahan said. "As I told you guys, I'm taking it week by week, so I don't have to put really pause on anything."

Shanahan said the coaching staff would continue to work with Garoppolo over the bye week and he works to learn the playbook. The coaches will rotate to work with the quarterback to get him ready to play – just not necessarily right after the bye. The quarterback evaluation will continue when Garoppolo and C.J. Beathard return from the team's time off.

"That's not my plan," Shanahan said when asked about the Schefter report. "I don't have a plan yet. There's no way anything you guys hear reported could be accurate because I just told you guys our plan, which is: we're going to evaluate when it gets to that time. It depends where Jimmy's at, at that time. I know C.J. got banged up today also with his thumb again, so we'll see where he's at. But we'll deal with that Monday when we come in here next week."

The 49ers host the Seahawks at Levi's Stadium on November 26.

49ers' John Lynch provides Talanoa Hufanga update, discusses plan at safety

The San Francisco 49ers have been actively exploring options at safety this offseason, both in free agency and during their draft evaluations. A recent report from the San Francisco Chronicle indicated that All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga's starting position is not guaranteed for the upcoming season as he recovers from a torn ACL sustained on November 19, 2023. During a media session at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, general manager John Lynch shared an update on Hufanga's progress, noting that offseason roster additions could still occur. "Talanoa is doing really well. That's the great news," Lynch said of his young rehabbing safety. "He's rehabbing extremely well,

49ers view Isaac Yiadom as leading candidate to start at CB, says insider

The San Francisco 49ers' signing of cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal wasn't a headline-grabbing move. It wasn't even the Bay Area team's most significant free-agency move thus far. That would be defensive end Leonard Floyd signing a two-year deal with the 49ers. However, San Francisco hopes Yiadom proves to be one of its more underrated signings. The 28-year-old defensive back is coming off his best NFL season. Yiadom's 81.1 overall grade and 80.4 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus were career highs. Opposing quarterbacks completed 50 percent of their passes (22 of 44) and owned an 84.4 passer rating when targeting the former New Orleans Saints defender in 2023. RELATED:

49ers actively negotiating with Brandon Aiyuk, not discussing trades, says John Lynch

By David Bonilla

General manager John Lynch addressed reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, emphasizing the San Francisco 49ers' active pursuit of a contract extension for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. There has been significant speculation surrounding Aiyuk's status this offseason. The receiver is slated to play on his fifth-year option, which guarantees him $14.124 million in 2024. While the team would be content with Aiyuk playing on that fifth-year option, it would prefer to secure the star receiver to a long-term deal before he returns to the field.

Jimmy Garoppolo explains why he signed with 49ers' division rival

By David Bonilla

Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the NFC West after signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently explained his decision to join the division rival after a one-season stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. "Obviously good players all around," Garoppolo said, per ESPN. "That's a big part of it. Talking to [head coach] Sean [McVay] on the phone, him just running me through offense and things that he had in mind, it really became appetizing. And I know a lot of the coaches here, so a lot of familiarity in that aspect. And then having played against the Rams a lot in my career, I've seen a lot of good things
