The 49ers started leaning into their fans' takeover mentality more heavily this year, resulting in large gatherings in Houston and New York.

The San Francisco 49ers are starting to get healthy, but they are still missing one star player. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk remains out due to an ACL recovery, and there is concern he may now return in 2025. Despite those concerns, general manager Jon Lynch has provided a major ultimatum on the receiver’s return.

The San Francisco 49ers on Thursday had a true rarity to open the day's practice. ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported every member of the 49ers' active roster was on hand to open the session. That is a dramatic change for a 49ers club that has been battling major injury issues since training camp.

49ers legend Steve Young suggests the organization is in a “lucky” position, as Purdy’s prolonged absence has allowed Jones to step in and fill the void effectively amid the team’s numerous injuries.

The 49ers will see the return of quarterback Brock Purdy, who will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Purdy has not played since Week 4 after he aggravated his turf toe, which also kept him out Weeks 2-3. Purdy, who had a full practice on Thursday, will have wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back, too.

The San Francisco 49ers have been waiting for Brandon Aiyuk to play in 2025, but there's a chance he doesn't return from his injury this year.

Niners' running back Isaac Guerendo is 6-foot and 221 pounds and possesses great speed. So what does he have to do to rejoin San Francisco's offense?

Entering the week the 49ers are 6-4 and on the outside looking in at a playoff spot. They're the No. 8 seed, just behind the Green Bay Packers (5-3-1) and Chicago Bears (6-3). That could all look much different after the next four games where the relative "ease" many assumed their schedule would have shines through.
