Kendrick Bourne spent his first five NFL seasons living like a one-man rock band: Booze. Drugs. Women. Then he changed his life. It began at a Miami nightclub near the end of a three-day binge. sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a… #49ers

That's true. It kind of seems like some players are more durable than others.

#49ers delaying Brandon Aiyuk’s departure is about business, not breakup revenge: sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

Nate Hobbs? 3 separate knee injuries last year Dre Greenlaw? Finished 7 games past 2 seasons Christian Kirk? Season-ending surgeries 2 of past 3 seasons Mike Evans? Missed 9 games in 2025 Always-injured #49ers seem to be somehow increasing injury risk sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

I live in a world in which the #49ers are annually among the NFL's most injured teams and many of their recent free-agent signings have been injured a lot.

@Piztol234078 Agreed. Did you read the story?

@Eric_Branch Well up until last season, Evans had 11 straight 1k yard seasons, I’d say you have to be pretty durable & available to keep that type of steady consistent production.

Two months after the #49ers' pledge to study their chronic injury woes, they signed a host of free agents ... with significant recent injury woes. sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

#49ers notes w/ @_noahfurtado: * What a teammate: Gifford gives Greenlaw the number off his back * Kittle was playing with torn ligaments when he tore his Achilles * Spencer Burford exits sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

#49ers' Pro Bowl player welcomes Dre Greenlaw by saying farewell to ‘5-7’ sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

The #49ers have an extensive history of bruising the feelings of their star players during contract negotiations. Even ever-optimistic, perpetually sunny George Kittle, not one to carry a grudge, carries the scars. sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

Mike Evans' contract reveals why #49ers could have the steal of free agency sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

Fittingly, he exits with the best farewell column ever. I loved @scottostler when I was growing up and reading him in the L.A. Times. And then I grew to love him as a friend and colleague. What a privilege. I'm happy for him. So sad for all of us. sfchronicle.com/sports/ostler/…

#49ers’ contentious approach to contracts comes with a cost. Trent Williams knows there will be blood sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

#49ers notes via @_noahfurtado: * Could 49ers’ Nick Bosa be joined by brother Joey? Their mom wants to make it so * WR Christian Kirk signed sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…

#49ers agreed to terms with WR Christian Kirk on a one-year, $6 million deal, a league source confirmed. Kirk, 29, recorded 28 catches for 239 yards and one touchdown in 13 games played with the Texans last season. He turns 30 in November.

#49ers rework Nick Bosa's contract to free up $17M, now they can get him some help sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a…
