49ers accomplish top priority in 2nd preseason game
For the first time in the 2024 preseason campaign, the San Francisco 49ers secured a victory. Behind Joshua Dobbs, Jacob Cowing and Cody Schrader, the 49ers cruised to a 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in the second week of the preseason.
Along with their win, the 49ers left Sunday's contest without a major injury — arguably the most important facet of the preseason. Despite no big injuries coming from the game, Kyle Shanahan provided updates for multiple players who missed Sunday's game in Santa Clara.
Following the game, Shanahan revealed starting wide receiver Jauan Jennings picked up an oblique injury. While the injury took him out of Sunday's contest against the Saints, Jennings isn't expected to miss much time, per Shanahan.

Second-year linebacker Dee Winters joined Jennings on the sideline on Sunday after suffering a bruised knee injury in practice. Winters recorded six tackles, including a tackle for loss in the 49ers' preseason opener against the Titans.

Another preseason standout, Jordan Mason, missed Sunday's game with an injury. Kyle Shanahan told reporters Mason did not play against the Saints due to hip soreness. Mason shined in a stint against the Titans, rushing for 34 yards and touchdown on six carries.
