49ers’ Garoppolo Done for the Season With Torn ACL
A MRI confirmed the 49ers' worst fears: Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the season with a torn ACL.The team announced the news Monday afternoon, one day after 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said the team anticipated its quarterback had suffered the injury.Garoppolo hobbled off the field during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after he scrambled out of the pocket and ran on a third-and-goal play. It appeared Garoppolo tried to stay in bounds instead of stepping out, and his left leg buckled as he absorbed a hit from a Chiefs defender.Shanahan said the 49ers will turn to C.J. Beathard as their starting quarterback. Beathard completed 123 of 224 passes for 1,430 yards and four touchdowns with six interceptions as a rookie last season, going 1-4 in five starts.Nick Mullens, a second-year pro out of Southern Mss, is on the 49ers' practice squad and presumably will be called up to back up Beathard. Mullen hasn't played in an NFL regular-season game, though he did complete 31 of 43 passes for 396 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in four preseason contests this year.The 49ers now will play on without two of their biggest offensive weapons, as running Jerick McKinnon tore his right ACL...

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
By David Bonilla

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.

Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.

Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
