The 5-3 San Francisco 49ers are preparing for a tilt with the 2-6 New York Giants in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this Sunday.

The New York Giants selected Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo with the 105th pick in the 2025 NFL draft. After watching the first eight weeks of the 2025 season, teams are wondering how the fiery Skattebo fell all the way to the beginning of the third round.

Skattebo was taken by New York with the No. 105 pick. The 49ers had the No. 100 pick, but they went with cornerback Upton Stout instead. Head coach Kyle Shanahan admitted that the team was interested in taking Skattebo. “Yes, we did, and we loved him,” Shanahan said of the team’s interest in Skattebo. “He was awesome.”

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn't given a strong indication Purdy will end that streak Sunday in New York against the Giants. He described his fourth-year signal-caller's recovery as a "sensitive situation" Wednesday. He told reporters that Purdy's confidence in his toe will give him confidence that Purdy is ready to go again.

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.

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.

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

Kyle Shanahan admitted the Texans "kicked our a**" after a 26–15 drubbing in Week 8, dropping San Francisco to 5–3.
