STORY: I sat down to watch some film with #49ers QB Brock Purdy to understand how he excels at layered throws. What I learned: everything Purdy puts into those has helped him master making every kind of throw and helped push him to another level...

www.espn.com The 'Layer King': How 49ers QB Brock Purdy mastered one of the hardest throws in football Purdy is terrific at layering the football -- fitting it perfectly between the second and third levels of the defense. And it's a big reason why he's playing at an MVP level this season.

If Nakua goes on IR, it's worth remembering that players on IR must miss four GAMES, not four weeks.

Which means he would not play on Dec. 13 against the #49ers at Levi's Stadium.

Puka Nacua is likely to go on IR with an MCL/PCL sprain and turf toe, Sean McVay said.

The NFL has reinstated #49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk.

The team gets a two game roster exemption to sort through that situation.

It expires on Monday, November 23, per the transaction wire.

www.espn.com The key behind 49ers' 7-1 start? Big contributions from the team's youth While the 49ers' stars have shown out, Jordan Watkins, Jaden Dugger and Kaelon Black have also led the team to its best start since 2019.

After the 54-yard kick return for the Raiders, a handful of #49ers special teamers gathered around a tablet to discuss what was going wrong.

Vegas had four returns after that which averaged 24.3 yards. A notable in game improvement though this is something that still bears watching as season goes on.

#49ers kick coverage has been awful today. And for the past few weeks.

Since Week 5, the Niners are last in the NFL in kick return yards allowed (31.8).
