Your daily San Francisco 49ers news for Friday, September 1st, 2023 Kawakami: Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers QB apology tour is over, thanks to Jimmy Garoppolo “But judging by Kyle Shanahan’s hyper-alert body language and snappy repertoire and John Lynch’s genial directness from the podium on Wednesday, the 49ers’ moody days are over. They’re done with their Lance public sheepishness and they’re happy that Lance seems happy in Dallas now. They’re committed to Brock Purdy, they’re comfortable with Sam Darnold and Brandon Allen as his backups, and if anybody wants to...

Final 53-man roster projection: No Trey Lance, but there are still 3 quarterbacks
Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ An extra receiver, a surprise at linebacker, and going “safe” along the defensive line. The 53-man roster projection we made for the 49ers earlier this month will look a little different today as Trey Lance is now a Dallas Cowboy.
