That San Francisco 49ers one last tuneup ahead of their week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Kyle Shanahan’s roster is 2-0 so far this preseason with wins over the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. Trey Lance saw action in that first fight against the Packers and led the 49ers to back-to-back scoring drives in the first quarter. While he sat out the second game of the preseason against Minnesota, a touchdown pass from Nate Sudfeld and a smothering defense handed San Francisco another win.
The 49ers’ final opponent is a well-known team outside of the conference. Less than a year after the regular season duel, they will face the Houston Texans for a preseason prime-time showdown. San Francisco won the Week 17 matchup at home on January 2 with a 23-7 score behind Lance’s two touchdowns.
While some starters might want to shake the cobwebs against the Texans one last time, the 49ers’ preseason finale is also one of the last chances for fringe players to earn a spot on the roster. Shanahan and his staff have to reduce the roster to 53 players August 30thso there will be a lot to see in Houston.
