NFL Network's Albert Breer is reporting that, according to two sources, Geep Chryst is expected to be named the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator. He is currently the quarterbacks coach for the team and has held that position since 2011.
The 49ers have had a tough time luring in an outside coach to become the team's offensive coordinator, with other teams either blocking interviews or other coaches choosing to be elsewhere.
One interesting fact about Chryst is that in the divisional round playoff game against the New Orleans Saints during the 2011 season, it was he who actually called the plays on the final 49ers drive of the game that resulted in the now famous game-winning touchdown by Vernon Davis.

49ers-Seahawks: George Kittle not expected to play, per report
George Kittle is likely to miss his 13th game since 2020. The San Francisco 49ers tight end is still working his way back from a groin strain, but isn't likely to be ready for this weekend's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, per one report.
"San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle's serious groin injury is improving," wrote Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, "but not enough to where he's expected to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly."
Kittle suffered his injury on September 5 and hasn't practiced since. He missed the 49ers' regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears. It's
49ers-Seahawks: George Kittle not expected to play but remains a game-time decision
On Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was unlikely to make his 2022 debut today against the Seattle Seahawks. Two days after Branch's report, ESPN's Adam Schefter still hears the same thing. The 49ers will likely play their home opener without their All-Pro offensive weapon.

49ers QB Trey Lance expected to require surgery, likely ending his season, per report
Trey Lance went down late in the first quarter of the San Francisco 49ers' 27-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. It was an injury so concerning that the second-year quarterback couldn't make it off the field on his own. He tried to get up, but pressure on his right leg, and immediately went back down to the turf.
There was a great deal of concern from his teammates for Lance as he was carted off the field and into the locker room for further tests. The 49ers later announced that Lance was ruled out due to an ankle injury.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Lance's season may be over. The quarterback is expected to require surgery, likely ending his season. So it will probably be Jimmy Garoppolo's job moving
