The San Francisco 49ers have been very busy so far during free agency. The team has announced that it has signed former Houston Texans DB Don Jones to a two-year deal.
Jones was drafted out of Arkansas State by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The 26-year-old has played in 56 games during his career and registered 37 tackles and one forced fumble on special teams. In 2016, Jones played in nine games for Houston and tied for the team lead with 11 special teams tackles.
Jones has also spent time with the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Cleveland Browns. Last season, he played four games with Cleveland before being released on October 4. Jones was then signed by Houston on October 19 and appeared in the final nine games of the season as well as both of the team's playoff games.

The San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-23 win on Sunday, overcoming a tight first half to generate a double-digit lead until the last play of the game, improving to 2-0 on the season.
Now, the 49ers are getting ready to host their season opener, and it comes in primetime, as San Francisco will play the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football at Levi's Stadium this week.

However, they may be without star running back Saquon Barkley, who suffered an ankle sprain in Week 2, potentially putting an even bigger onus on quarterback Daniel Jones against the
49ers seek to change narrative vs. dual-threat QBs by stopping Daniel Jones

The San Francisco 49ers have sported an excellent defense over the past few seasons, despite going from defensive coordinator Robert Saleh to DeMeco Ryans and now Steve Wilks, utilizing a similar scheme and consistently developing talent on that side of the ball.
However, there has been one area, regardless of coordinator and talent, that the 49ers have struggled against defensively: containing dual-threat quarterbacks.
That's the challenge they face in Week 3, as the 49ers are hosting the New York Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones in the home opener. The Giants have seen a tumultuous start to the season with a blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, and a thrilling comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.

It's time for the next chapter in the rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, which has produced more than its share of memorable moments in recent years.
Most of those moments have belonged to the 49ers, who have won eight regular season games in a row over the Rams. The most recent chapter in the rivalry was particularly memorable for Christian McCaffrey, who ran for a touchdown, caught a touchdown and threw a touchdown in a 31-14 win at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on October 30, 2022 -- just ten days after he was traded to the 49ers from the Carolina Panthers.
With the 49ers returning to SoFi Stadium this weekend, McCaffrey spoke a bit on Friday about what made that game special. We'll get into that in this version of 49ers Notebook, along
