Packers need to keep Aaron Rodgers on the move
Last week, the 49ers’ front four faced an immobile obelisk who couldn’t even begin to escape them. This week, they’re facing a 36-year-old who is far more spry than granny.

Offsides penalty not on Dee Ford’s mind
Would the Chiefs have won Super Bowl LIII if not for Dee Ford‘s offsides penalty in the AFC Championship Game? Would Ford be in San Francisco now?

49ers have nobody with an injury designation

Kyle Shanahan doesn’t expect George Kittle ankle injury to be an issue
When 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan rattled off the team’s injury situation before practice on Wednesday, he didn’t mention tight end George Kittle.
