Jed York News and Chargers Preseason Review

The 49ers preseason just took a turn nobody saw coming.

John, Tim, and Brian break down the stunning news surrounding 49ers owner Jed York, what it could mean for his future with the franchise, how the NFL might respond, and whether any of the off-field chaos will actually affect the team on the field.

Then, finally, some good news: George Kittle is back, Christian McCaffrey has returned to practice, and the Niners are getting healthier as Week 1 approaches. But there are still questions surrounding Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams — and the clock is ticking.

On the field, the guys recap an encouraging preseason performance against the Chargers. DeSean Stribling continues to look like the real deal, Jacob Cowing makes his case with a huge punt return, the running back competition heats up, and several young defenders are making the 49ers’ final roster decisions increasingly difficult.

There is one glaring concern: left guard. Is it time for San Francisco to bring in a veteran before the games start counting?

Plus: special teams, Niners trivia, stock up/stock down, the final preseason matchup against the Raiders, and the players fighting for their NFL lives as roster cutdown day approaches.

The preseason has been chaotic. The football team? Surprisingly, that might be the least chaotic part.

Stay faithful.
