Nsimba Magic has arrived in the preseason. The lightning-quick returner/wideout gets a couple electrifying pickups to start the 49ers drive with a 43-yard punt return and 34-yard rush on an end around.
SACK ALERT: Shilique Calhoun and Eddie VanderDoes combine for a 3rd down sack to stop the Chiefs drive.

Trey Lance exits his NFL debut after one series in the second half. Josh Rosen, not Nate Sudfeld, will come in, likely to finish the game
Lance ends 5/14, with 128 passing yards and one 80-yard touchdown in his NFL preseason debut.
Trey Lance enters the second half as the starter still. Many key reps for the rookie in his first NFL action.
Trey Lance stays in at QB. Catch the 2nd half of #KCvsSF on https://t.co/vpdsX5I39D and @KPIXtv 👇

Trey Lance's first challenge is a success. After being on his own 1-yard line, Lance throws a gem to tight end Charlie Woerner off a play-action to get out of the jam. Great throw.
Slingin' it 💪#KCvsSF

First Quarter
INJURY ALERT: Trey Sermon seems to have hurt his hand on a fumble, but the 49ers recover. Little scary for a running back who likes running inside the tackles.
Yikes. Trey Sermon might have injured his left hand and the ball came loose. Luckily, Aaron Banks recovers it. #49wz

Some more good news on the 49ers youngsters, via David Lombardi.
Rookie Jaylon Moore was solid on that first 49ers' series. He held up nicely in pass protection on the third down conversion from Garoppolo to Aiyuk that was nullified by the Woerner OPI.
49ers will remain very encouraged by the fifth-round pick
— David Lombardi (@LombardiHimself) August 15, 2021
Drive one ends in a punt. It was a great drive by Jimmy Garoppolo, who didn't throw a single incompletion.
#49ers Garoppolo's first drive was a very efficient one. Unfortunate OPI by Woerner that killed it. Punt to come.
— Rohan Chakravarthi (@rohanSports27) August 15, 2021
Trey Sermon gets his first NFL first down in the NFL.
Trey Sermon is the #49ers starter here. Gets a key first down.

Jimmy Garoppolo time has arrived. He completes his first pass to Deebo Samuel.
Here comes Jimmy Garoppolo to start the game in his only series.
