Overview

• 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh praised Jacksonville for a "really advanced" yet legal method of deciphering defensive cues and pre-snap indicators.
• Saleh tied the approach to the Sean McVay–Kevin O’Connell coaching tree and noted Jaguars assistants Grant Udinski and Shaun Sarrett arrived from Minnesota.
• Jaguars coach Liam Coen declined to delve into the claim, saying the staff focuses on formation and motion study to put players in favorable situations.
• Kyle Shanahan characterized Saleh’s comments as a compliment and said such scouting is common, underscoring that no illegal conduct was alleged.
• No NFL investigation has been reported, and both teams are preparing for Sunday with the 49ers emphasizing disguising signals and cleaner communication.
