Golden Nuggets: Bring on the Chargers

Jake Moody might spook 49ers fans like a horror villain, but he isn’t going away (paywall)

“Afterward, Kyle Shanahan sloughed off any notion he was concerned about the kicker situation heading into the season.

“I think (Moody) going 4-for-5 and hitting a 59-yarder — and a 50-yarder — I think that was a hell of a day for him,” he said. “I think he kicked his ass off. And it gives (us) a lot of confidence.”

49ers vs. Raiders PFF grades: Best and worst from the game, plus snap counts

“Safety Jaylen Mahoney led the team with a 91.4 defensive grade across 32 snaps, supported by a team-best 89.3 coverage grade. He recorded two tackles, a pass defensed, and an interception….Center Drake Nugent earned the highest offensive grade among linemen at 67.9, allowing just one pressure across 20 snaps.“

Eagles beat 49ers in trade for wide receiver
“The Texans are trading WR John Metchie III to the Eagles, per multiple sources.” Schultz followed that tweet with another, which read, “Sources: The 49ers were the other team trying to trade for John Metchie III. But the Eagles made a better offer.”

49ers work out 3 wide receivers and old friend Nate Sudfeld

We are at the point where the daily routine should be to check the transaction wire at 2 pm PT, given how often the San Francisco 49ers are making moves. Sure enough, the team worked out four players on Monday afternoon. Three of them were wide receivers, while one was a familiar face at quarterback.

Nate Sudfeld, assuming he was the one doing the throwing, was the quarterback. He was on the Niners roster back in 2021. The wide receivers are not exactly Terry McLaurin caliber, if fans are still holding out hopes for a splash trade:

Colton Dowell
Jalen Guyton
J.J. Jones

Let’s start with the 26-year-old, 6’3″, 212-pound Dowell, who was a seventh-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in the 2023 NFL Draft. Dowell caught one pass as a rookie after appearing in five games. He has not recorded a regular-season statistic since.

Guyton has the most regular-season success. The 6’1″, 212-pound receiver spent the 2019 through 2023 with the Los Angeles Chargers. During that span, Guyton caught 71 passes for 1,112 yards and seven touchdowns. The majority of that production happened in 2020 (28/511/3) and 2021 (31/448/3).

JJ Jones was an undrafted free agent this past draft out of North Carolina. The 6’2″, 210-pound wideout was waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks ago before the preseason began.

As Jauan Jennings’ injury lingers, Jordan Watkins’ high-ankle sprain keeps him out, and Jacob Cowing gets back into the swing of things, the need for a wide receiver at practice is high — especially if Demarcus Robinson’s suspension holds up.
