The Kyle Shanahan regime kicks off with the 49ers’ exhibition opener Friday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. This is the first opportunity for the coaching staff and GM John Lynch to evaluate the roster against players from another NFL camp. And after two weeks of camp, it appears as if there is still plenty of room for many to play themselves onto – or off – the regular-season roster. “I’ve been in plenty of camps where at the end of OTAs,” Shanahan said this week on The 49ers Insider Podcast, "I already knew what it’s going to be, unless there were injuries. I can’t say that here. And it’s a good problem to have.” Here are 10 players to keep a particularly close eye on… (Photo via AP) Continue to Article

Coach Kyle Shanahan will not be scouring the stat sheet after the 49ers’ exhibition opener in Kansas City on Friday night. Game statistics will play no role in his player evaluations, he said, as many factors are considered, including the talent level and execution of the opposition. “I look at how good they are,” Shanahan explained on "The 49ers Insider Podcast" for how he evaluates his 90-man roster during the exhibition season. “I can get home at night and I promise you that my wife is going to have a much better idea of how good the guy’s stats were. I look at each play for what it is. “If a bunch of guys fall down in a hole and the running back hits that hole and gets a 60-yard gain. He’s Continue to Article

SANTA CLARA – Daniel Kilgore did not exactly welcome the competition when he learned 49ers acquired Pro Bowl center Jeremy Zuttah in the offseason. But now that Zuttah is out of the picture with Kilgore clearly winning the competition for a starting job, it is easy for him to realize the threat brought out the best in him. “This is my fourth head coach in four years and a new GM,” Kilgore said. “It’s human nature to think the worst in every situation. I bowed my chest a little bit and kind of got upset and mad. But at the same time, you got to respect the competition. “They brought in a heck of a guy to compete with. For me, it just took my game up to another level. It took my workouts and my Continue to Article

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors say domestic violence charges against former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock were dropped because of insufficient evidence. The San Francisco Chronicle reports Wednesday that felony charges filed in June were dropped Tuesday because prosecutors say the victim did not want to cooperate. Officials say the 28-year-old Brock punched and tried multiple times to strangle his girlfriend during an April 6 dispute over what to watch on television. Prosecutors say one of the strangling attempts occurred as she carried their 1-year-old child. Police say the woman had visible injuries when officers arrived at Brock’s home in Santa Clara. The 49ers released Continue to Article

The 49ers released veteran center Jeremy Zuttah, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. San Francisco acquired Zuttah in a trade with the Ravens in March. Zuttah, who made the Pro Bowl in 2016, was expected to compete with incumbent Daniel Kilgore for the starting job. Instead, Kilgore easily won the battle. Zuttah worked primarily with the second team, and Tim Barnes, whom the 49ers signed late in May, began getting some second-team center snaps as well as work as a second-team guard. Barnes’ versatility made Zuttah expendable. In nine seasons, Zuttah has played both guard positions and center. He made 41 starts at center for the Ravens over the past three seasons. Porter spent time Continue to Article
