49ers’ Carlos Hyde won’t need surgery

The 49ers' running back sustained a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee Saturday that will not require surgery, head coach Chip Kelly said Monday. Hyde will be ready when the 49ers start their offseason program in April, but he won't have a chance to get the 12 rushing yards he needs to reach 1,000 when the 49ers host Seattle on Sunday in their season finale. Last week, he acknowledged he'd altered his style during a season in which he had averaged 63.3 yards and 3.6 yards a carry in his first seven games. In the latter stages, Hyde began hitting holes more decisively after he occasionally hesitated in the backfield, perhaps in futile search of a big run. Hyde will have missed 14 games in his first three seasons with four injuries (ankle, foot, shoulder, knee), and his physical style doesn't make him a candidate to record his first 16-game season anytime soon. On Sunday, two well-traveled, undrafted running backs — Shaun Draughn and DuJuan Harris — figure to assume most of the rushing load in Hyde's absence. The 49ers used a fourth-round pick in 2015 in Mike Davis, but he has been inactive for the past seven games and is averaging 2.0 yards on 54...

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
By David Bonilla

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
By David Bonilla

Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
