The 49ers have dealt with a lot of trade rumors this offseason, as wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is looking for a new contract. The 26 year old player is coming off an incredible season, accruing more than 1,300 receiving yards last year. Notably, he also had more than 1,000 receiving yards during his 2022 campaign.

If Aiyuk gets traded from San Francisco this year, then the 49ers would lack depth at the wide receiver position. The team drafted wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first round of this year’s draft to help their offense, but he has been dealing with an injury this offseason. The injury has forced him to miss every preseason game this year, and it will likely keep him off the field tonight.

San Francisco will have a quarterback duel this evening, as Joshua Dobbs and Brandon Allen compete for the second-string position. The winner of the position battle will serve as a backup to Brock Purdy, who had an incredible season last year.

The Raiders will not play their starters in tonight’s matchup, as they try to remain fully healthy before the regular season opener. The team’s backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell will also sit out this game.
