The 49ers placed Halton (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Halton suffered a broken left ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Las Vegas and is out for the season. The fourth-round rookie finished his inaugural NFL campaign with 15 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, a defensed pass, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery (which he returned for a touchdown) over eight contests. San Francisco's recent acquisition of DeForest Buckner softens the blow of losing Halton a bit. |
Brandin Cooks Brandin Cooks Tallies two catches against Las Vegas
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 6:42 PM
Cooks brought in both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Cooks and other 49ers wide receivers operated in elevated roles Sunday due to the absences of Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring). Cooks' 25 receiving yards ended up being third-most on the Niners behind Jordan Watkins (86) and tight end George Kittle (58), and Cooks' 32 offensive snaps were also third-most among San Francisco wide receivers. The 49ers hit the road for Week 10 against the Cowboys, and Cooks' workload on offense would decrease if one or both of Evans or Samuel was cleared to return. |
Demarcus Robinson Demarcus Robinson Three grabs in return to action
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 6:35 PM
Robinson caught three passes for 22 yards on four targets in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Playing in his first game since Week 2 due to a high ankle sprain, Robinson played 51 percent of the Niners' offensive snaps against Las Vegas. San Francisco's wideout situation is a week-to-week thing moving forward, with the Tuesday addition of Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), Mike Evans (Achilles) and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) all likely to return at some point in the near future. Robinson isn't someone to roster in 12-team fantasy leagues. |
Mac Jones Mac Jones Too pricey for Minnesota
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 1:09 PM
The 49ers fielded trade inquiries in Jones from the Vikings leading up to Tuesday's deadline, but the quarterback is expected to remain in San Francisco, Dianna Russini of BetUS TV reports.
Analysis: Even though starting quarterback Brock Purdy has been a leading MVP candidate through the halfway point of the season, the 49ers still place a premium value on Jones as an insurance option in the event Purdy misses time due to injury. As such, the 49ers' asking price for Jones was too rich for the Vikings, who have since pivoted their focus to acquiring Kirk Cousins from the Raiders prior to the deadline. |
Keenan Allen Keenan Allen Shipped to San Francisco
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 12:43 PM
The 49ers acquired Allen from the Colts on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Analysis: A beat-up 49ers receiving corps will get some much-needed reinforcement in the form of Allen, who has still displayed the ability to move the chains during his age-34 season. Through eight games with the Colts, Allen produced a 40-351-1 receiving line on 58 targets. While Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) may be prioritized ahead of him in the passing game once fully healthy, Allen could have the opportunity to see steady target volume right out of the gate Sunday in Dallas. |
Mike Evans Mike Evans Not trending toward Week 10 return
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:10 AM
Evans (Achilles) isn't expected to be ready to play Sunday at Dallas, though the 49ers will continue to evaluate his status throughout the week, Brooke Evans of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged Monday that Evans was unlikely to take part in the 49ers' first practice of the week Wednesday. The veteran wideout appears unlikely to be anything more than a limited participant Thursday or Friday either, so barring dramatic improvement in his recovery from right Achilles tendinitis, he'll miss a third straight game this weekend. |
Jordan James Jordan James Logs three carries in Week 9 win
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 10:41 PM
James rushed three times for 11 yards and returned two kickoffs for 31 yards Sunday in a 38-17 victory versus Las Vegas.
Analysis: As has been the case all season, James filled a minor role in San Francisco's backfield behind Christian McCaffrey and Kaelon Black. James' three touches Sunday were his second-most this season behind the four touches he logged Week 2 versus Miami. James will likely be relegated to making most of his impact as a returner unless either McCaffrey or Black were to miss time. |
Eddy Pineiro Eddy Pineiro Converts lone field-goal attempt in win
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 8:50 PM
Pineiro made his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries during San Francisco's win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Pineiro continues to see the majority of his action handling extra-point duties, as he's now attempted just two field goals across his last three outings and only 10 total on the season. Sunday's performance also marked just the second time this season that the 31-year-old didn't miss a kick. |

Nearing return
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 8:18 PM
The 49ers plan to open West's (undisclosed) practice window Wednesday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Analysis: West was placed on injured reserve in late September due to an undisclosed injury but is now nearing his return. Once the practice window is officially opened, San Francisco will have 21 days to activate the 2025 fourth-round pick, or else he'll be forced to stay on injured reserve for the remainder of the campaign. |

Day-to-day with foot issue
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 7:22 PM
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Lenoir (foot) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lenoir came away from San Francisco's victory over the Raiders in Week 9 with a foot injury, and now his status for Week 10 is uncertain. It will be worth keeping an eye on whether he's able to practice in full during the week, and the 49ers' first official injury report of the week Wednesday should give more context on his condition. |

Considered day-to-day
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 7:17 PM
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Green (back) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Green sustained a back injury during San Francisco's win versus the Raiders in Week 9, and now his availability for Week 10 is in question. His activity at practice will be worth monitoring over the course of the week, and the 49ers' first official injury report of the week Wednesday should provide further insight into his status. |
Deebo Samuel Sr. Deebo Samuel Sr. Trending toward practicing Wednesday
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 5:07 PM
Samuel (hamstring) is on track to return to practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Analysis: That's a positive development for Samuel, who logged a trio of 'DNPs' last week. His potential return this weekend against the Cowboys would be a welcome one for the 49ers' depleted WR corps. With that in mind, Mike Evans (Achilles) is viewed as iffy for the contest, so a key role in the team's passing attack could await Samuel if he is able to return for his first game action since Week 5. |

Mike Evans Mike Evans Iffy for Wednesday's practice
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 4:58 PM
Evans (Achilles) is unlikely to participate in practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
Analysis: That's not a particularly surprising development, with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network having previously suggested that Evans -- who last played in Week 6 -- appears to be "questionable at best" for this Sunday's game against the Cowboys. On the plus side from the 49ers' perspective is that the team hopes to have fellow WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) at practice Wednesday. |
Brandon Aiyuk Brandon Aiyuk Reinstated, 49ers granted two-week exemption
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 4:31 PM
The 49ers reinstated Aiyuk (personal) from the reserve/left squad list Monday and were granted a two-week roster exemption for the wide receiver, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Analysis: In what amounted to a procedural transaction after Aiyuk met with team officials Friday upon filing his paperwork for reinstatement, the 49ers now have until Nov. 23 to either add him to the 53-man roster, release him or trade him. Given that Aiyuk owes the 49ers roughly $13 million in bonus forfeiture, securing a release from the team could prove difficult, though it's possible that the two sides work out a repayment plan that would allow him to become a free agent. In addition to the financial complications potentially delaying Aiyuk's return to the field, it's unclear if the 49ers or any other team have interest in rostering the 28-year-old wideout, who hasn't played an NFL snap since tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee Oct. 20, 2024 and undergoing surgery. |
Kaelon Black Kaelon Black Rushes for team-high 70 yards
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:45 PM
Black rushed 11 times for 70 yards but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Black led the 49ers in rushing yards, finishing with two more than Christian McCaffrey, but McCaffrey operated as the clear lead back and scored twice on 20 touches. McCaffrey won't be unseated as the starter while healthy, but Black has started to earn a larger role, with double-digit carries for at least 63 rushing yards in consecutive games. The rookie third-round pick is averaging a solid 4.5 yards per carry heading into a Week 10 road game against the Cowboys. |
Jordan Watkins Jordan Watkins Career-high 86 yards, first TD in win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:44 PM
Watkins caught all four of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Watkins set a new career high in receiving yards, thanks in large part to a 37-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, which was the first of his NFL career. He has taken on a larger role over the past two games during the absences of Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), as Watkins had 56 receiving yards on six targets to lead San Francisco's wide receivers in Week 7 prior to the team's Week 8 bye. If at least one of Evans or Samuel remains sidelined in Week 10, Watkins would be poised to maintain an expanded role against a weak Dallas defense. |
George Kittle George Kittle Four catches in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 7:52 PM
Kittle caught four of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Kittle had at least three more targets than any teammate Sunday but finished 28 receiving yards shy of Jordan Watkins' team-leading total, while Brock Purdy's two touchdown passes went to Christian McCaffrey and Watkins. Sunday's output marked Kittle's third-lowest yardage total of the season, but the star TE recorded at least four catches for a seventh consecutive game. He'll look to add to his season totals of 38 catches for 483 yards and five touchdowns in Week 10 against the Cowboys. |
Brock Purdy Brock Purdy Three total TDs in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 7:50 PM
Purdy completed 17 of 25 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders. He added seven rushing attempts for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Purdy gave the 49ers a 14-0 lead with a one-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, then added a 12-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey in the second quarter and a 37-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Watkins in the third. Unfazed by the numerous injuries to San Francisco's wide receivers, Purdy has a 17:5 TD:INT through the air to go with a pair of rushing scores heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Cowboys. Having led the 49ers to a 7-1 record, the fourth-place finisher in the 2023 MVP race is making a strong case for the award at the halfway point of the 2026 campaign. |

Picks up foot injury in win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 7:16 PM
Lenoir sustained a foot injury during Sunday's 38-17 win against Las Vegas.
Analysis: Lenoir notched three solo tackles, one of which was for a loss, in the contest, but he didn't leave unscathed. Head coach Kyle Shanahan explained after the game that the cornerback hasn't been ruled out for Week 10, suggesting that Lenoir may have avoided a major injury. If he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Ashtyn Davis and Ephesians Prysock are both candidates to see increased workload in the secondary. |

Dealing with back injury
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 7:11 PM
Green suffered a back injury during Sunday's 38-17 win against the Raiders, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Green sustained the injury in the second half of the victory, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that the cornerback has not been ruled out for Week 10, suggesting that the injury is relatively minor. Green's status at practice will be worth monitoring when San Francisco returns to the field Wednesday, and if he can't play against the Cowboys on Nov. 15, Ephesians Prysock would be a top candidate to draw a start at cornerback. |
