Our Niners sources tell us that, due to the presence of promising, young WRs Josh Morgan, Jason Hill and Dominique Zeigler, free agent Bryant Johnson's days could be numbered in San Francisco.

That left veteran Jason Verrett and Emmanuel Moseley to start against quarterback Daniel Jones and the Giants. The 49ers won the game 36-9 and departed back-to-back games at MetLife Stadium with a 2-1 record and a two-game win streak.
