Upton Stout’s return to practice is great news for the 49ers. The availability of Stout, Lenoir, Renardo Green, and Jack Jones allows for max flexibility of the dime packages Raheem Morris has introduced this season.
And that’s how you prey for INTs · Quoting Cam Inman: 49ers Week 5 Thursday sights:
Mike Evans running on side field in uniform
Mykel Williams looking primed to debut
CMc, Trent Williams practicing after rest days
Nick Bosa (calf) working on side but expected to be out 3rd straight game
Upton Stout in no-contact jersey
Why it's #1 Mike Evans (top-150)

John Lynch on KNBR: “That was one of the best collective efforts from our secondary that we’ve had in a long time around here. That’s where Raheem cut his teeth.”
Lynch adds that Morris ID'd Renardo Green immediately after joining the 49ers as a player who could blossom in 2026 · Quoting David Lombardi: The dime package the 49ers employed for 8 snaps in Week 1 was a great glimpse into the MAJOR 2026 defensive evolution. More on that later...
The most ridiculous part of the fake Renardo Green trade rumors this offseason: Corner was actually the 49ers' defensive strength last season.
SF just didn't have a pass rush, and Saleh's system (like any system) was reliant on that. Now they have a rush, and Raheem Morris also has a PHD in DB play. Week 1 saw Morris unleash the 49ers' CBs in much more aggressive, frequent cushion-free/press-man fashion.
Morris trusted his corners to make big plays, and Green delivered when he fooled Matthew Stafford — who didn't see him before his sprint back…
Why it's #2 Puka Nacua (top-50)

Rookie DT James Thompson Jr., who is dealing with a hamstring strain, was the only 49er not taking part at the start of today's practice. George Kittle, Nick Bosa, Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans, Renardo Green were all on hand.
Why it's #3 Christian McCaffrey (top-50)
- Back at practice today: Dominick Puni, Vederian Lowe, Kurtis Rourke, Kyle Juszczyk, Malik Mustapha Working on a side field: Mike Evans, Gracen Halton, Renardo Green, Brayden Willis, Luke Gifford, Jacob Cowing, Nate Hobbs Not seen: Nick Bosa, Romello Height, Ephesians Prysock

- So 49ers have *at least* 8 surging defensive players from the past 3 drafts (that's not even counting recent offensive draftees) AND potentially 8 Hall of Famers.

Renardo Green made a big play against the Rams on a coverage similar to what got him briefly benched in the playoff loss to the Seahawks.

- Sep 15 David Lombardi (X) Expanding on this: The 49ers used their newfound DB orientation, rooted in their new DB-oriented DC, to run 2-high defenses at the highest rate of the Shanahan era. Prior years had already seen significant coverage evolutions — especially the Cover-4 shift of 2019, but 2026 looks to be the biggest defensive shift yet in this Shanahan decade. (Factor in the big increase in 5-man fronts, too) · Quoting David Lombardi: The dime package the 49ers employed for 8 snaps in Week 1 was a great glimpse into the MAJOR 2026 defensive evolution.

The pink injury shadings have all but vanished (for now)!
