Sean Smith sweepstakes now a two-team race
95.7 The Game's John Middlekauff is reporting that the Kansas City Chiefs might be out of the race to bring back CB Sean Smith. Instead, it is likely now a two-team race between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders.
On Monday, it was reported by Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area that the 49ers had
discussions about bringing Smith to San Francisco. Cornerback is one of the many positions of need for the 49ers.
Smith, a 2009 draft selection out of Utah by the Miami Dolphins, has had 353 tackles, 10 interceptions, three forced fumbles, 81 passes deflected, and a defensive touchdown over his career.

The San Francisco 49ers have lost three consecutive games, and have two quarterbacks hobbled by injuries. Veteran Jimmy Garoppolo has been dealing with an injury to his right calf. He missed the team's last game, a 17-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Rookie Trey Lance suffered a left knee sprain in the loss to Arizona.
Unless you have been sleeping for the past few weeks, you no doubt have seen and heard the countless arguments surrounding the 49ers quarterback situation. It's been fascinating (and exhausting) to listen to the different sides. You expect this kind of thing from fans.

Collinsworth: 49ers a 'power football team' at their best, can recover from 2-3 start
Cris Collinsworth hasn't given up on the San Francisco 49ers. The team may be entering Week 7 with a 2-3 record and riding a three-game losing streak, but the NBC announcer knows things can turn around quickly for Kyle Shanahan's squad.
Collinsworth will be calling the game on Sunday night between the 49ers and Indianapolis Colts. He was in Santa Clara this week to watch practice. Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area pulled him aside to talk about the Bay Area team, which has struggled to live up to its potential.
