Robert Jones lines up at RIGHT guard, not left guard, on San Francisco's first offensive series of the August 20, 2026 preseason game at the Chargers. The take is CORRECT if the game book's starting offensive line has Jones at right guard. It is WRONG if he starts at left guard, if he starts anywhere else on the line, or if he does not appear in the game at all. A game San Francisco plays with no Robert Jones in it scores this Wrong; the risk of that is mine and it is stated here rather than argued afterwards.

Held upAug 22, 2026

In San Francisco's preseason finale at Las Vegas on August 27, 2026, Nick Zakelj plays MORE offensive snaps than Carver Willis. A player absent from the game book's Playtime Percentage page counts as zero, whether he is inactive, injured, or no longer on the roster. The take is CORRECT only if Zakelj's offensive snap count is strictly greater than Willis's. It is WRONG if Willis's is equal to or greater than Zakelj's, and that includes the case where both are zero.

Roster

Nate Hobbs Made The 53 On Sunday And Went On Injured Reserve On Monday

The 49ers placed cornerback Nate Hobbs and linebacker Nick Martin on injured reserve Monday and re-signed safety Ashtyn Davis and punter Corliss Waitman to one-year deals. Because Hobbs and Martin were placed the day after the initial roster was set rather than during the cut to it, neither needed one of the two return designations San Francisco had already spent on Christian Kirk and Austen Pleasants, and neither is finished for the year. Both must miss at least the first four games. The earliest either can play is October 11 at Seattle. Matt Maiocco wrote on Sunday that both placements were coming Monday. San Francisco claimed nobody on waivers and lost cornerback Darrell Luter Jr. to Las Vegas and defensive lineman Bryson Eason to Kansas City. Thirteen players are on the practice squad, including long snapper Jon Weeks, who is not on the active roster.
