After waiting three months for a week of respite, the San Francisco 49ers took advantage of it.
Colton McKivitz went wine tasting in Napa Valley.
Christian McCaffrey spent time with his newborn daughter.
Trent Williams went for a visit to his home in Houston.
The whole club was able to rest, before the final stretch of the campaign for the Niners (9-4).
“It was fun to spend the week as a fan so to speak,” said head coach Kyle Shanahan. It was different to have such a late week off.
“I don’t think it’s something I would ask for, but it was nice. It was more relaxing, in a way. The season is already off to a great start, certainly. »
San Francisco has won its game after returning from bye the last three years.
Sunday, the 49ers will host the Tennessee Titans (2-11).
In their division, the Niners struggle with the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, who have records of 10-3.
They are in a good position to play in early 2026, after missing the playoffs last season.
Kicker Eddy Pineiro will return against the Titans after missing two games with a right back thigh injury.
Pineiro is 22-for-22 on field goal attempts this year.
Tennessee’s two wins came on the road, including last Sunday in Cleveland.
