Overview

  • San Francisco converted four takeaways into 27 points, and linebacker Curtis Robinson sealed the game with a fourth-quarter pick-six to beat the Chargers 30-23.
  • Kyle Shanahan reported multiple injuries from the finale, including a knee for Isaiah Prince, a neck for Brayden Willis, an ankle for Tanner Mordecai who returned, and a likely broken forearm for cornerback Jakob Robinson.
  • Shanahan said wide receiver Jacob Cowing faces roughly six weeks out with a torn hamstring as the team works through depth concerns at several positions.
  • Running back Brian Robinson Jr. passed a physical to complete a trade from Washington, per reports, with an announcement expected soon that includes a late-round pick swap.
  • The 49ers recently signed OL Michael Dunn and WR Malik Knowles, released DL Demone Harris, and waived/injured RB Corey Kiner as they evaluate the roster ahead of the Aug. 26 cutdown and the trip to Seattle for Week 1.
