Kyle Shanahan shared that the San Francisco 49ers considered selecting New York Giants star running back Cam Skattebo during the 2025 NFL Draft.

Before the New York Giants drafted him, the San Francisco 49ers were high on running back Cam Skattebo. San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed on Wednesday that the Niners considered taking Skattebo and "loved him" during the NFL draft process.

The San Francisco 49ers somehow avoided any catastrophic injuries in their Week 8 loss to the Houston Texans despite one player getting carted off.

Brock Purdy missed his fourth straight game on Sunday and head coach Kyle Shanahan discussed at his Monday press conference whether he will make it five against the Giants this week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has only played two games this season due to turf toe but has a chance to return this weekend when his team faces the New York Giants on the road. Purdy last played on Sept. 28, with Mac Jones taking over the starting QB duties while Purdy has been sidelined.

The San Francisco 49ers didn't have play their best on Sunday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan fully admitted that after the final whistle.

Shanahan does not control which players the 49ers draft, but he does control which players go on the field. And through eight games, Martin has yet to take a defensive snap, and James has been inactive every week. Perhaps this is Shanahan's comment to the front office for passing on his preferred player, Skattebo, who turned out to be a stud.

Long known as a great schemer, Shanahan has pressed all the right buttons elsewhere, helping his team overcome a mountain of injuries.
