San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is likely itching to get back on the field after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 7 last season, but he and the team may have broken an NFL rule as he works his way back from a torn ACL and MCL.

For a moment during Saturday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, it seemed as if the San Francisco 49ers had turned back the clock with an Owens streaking through the opposing secondary.

The Las Vegas Raiders host the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium with kickoff set for 4 p.m. ET on NFL Network, with multiple streaming options available.

Does the San Francisco 49ers interest in wide receiver John Metchie signal that the team will add a wide receiver soon?

The San Francisco 49ers lost starting right guard Dominic Puni and two other offensive players in the first half of their 22-19 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

For the 49ers their health has become a greater concern than their preseason performance. They just need to make sure they have enough healthy bodies to keep their key starters out of harm's way. More than 20 players missed their preseason opener vs. the Denver Broncos with injuries, and that number could rise Saturday when they face the Raiders.

After being ranked sixth in 2024, the 49ers have moved up to fifth place among the most valuable NFL franchises in 2025.
