New Orleans Saints offensive lineman potentially costs himself a job against 49ers

San Francisco, CA

The New Orleans Saints fell 16-10 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in Levi’s Stadium. The loss moves the Saints to 1-1 in the preseason with one game left to play. The 49ers did start Brock Purdy, but not many other starters on their offense. The Saints had plenty of their starting defense in the game. New Orleans got good pressure on the first couple of drives, not allowing the Niners to move the ball.

SAINTS GAMER: New Orleans drops preseason tilt to San Francisco

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — An already depleted New Orleans Saints secondary suffered another loss early in their preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Rookie cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, the team's 2024 second-round pick, suffered a knee injury on the game's opening drive when he collided with 49ers receiver Trent Taylor on an incomplete pass. After the game, coach Dennis Allen said it appears McKinstry dodged a serious injury.

Due to not having joint practices, Kyle Shanahan says the San Francisco 49ers will join the New Orleans Saints in playing their starters in Sunday’s preseason game. There is one major difference: The 49ers won’t play all of their starters, while the Saints will play any starter healthy enough to play. Shanahan specified that not all of his starters will get on the field as they monitor players’ reps this summer though he plans for those who do dress out to play a series or two.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy didn’t get much going against the Saints on Sunday night, but he’s set to get another shot to move the ball in the preseason. Purdy made his first game appearance of this summer on Sunday and head coach Kyle Shanahan said in a postgame press conference that the plan is for Purdy to play again in this week’s final dress rehearsal for the regular season. The 49ers will be in Las Vegas to face the Raiders on Friday.

Wilson started Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers and caught one of two targets for five yards. Wilson and Chris Olave got most of the first-team snaps at wide receiver, with the former filling in for Rashid Shaheed (hamstring). It's a decent indication that Wilson is on track for the third or fourth spot on the depth chart, but he probably won't see a lot of targets even if he's on the field a good amount.

Kyle Shanahan keeps us in the dark regarding 49ers starters playing vs. Saints

The position battle of the offseason for the New Orleans Saints is the competition for QB2. Derek Carr is the unquestioned starter, but second-year quarterback Jake Haener and rookie Spencer Rattler are battling for the backup job.

The 49ers continue to work on resolutions to their high-profile contract disputes with WR Brandon Aiyuk and LT Trent Williams, and the club is also waiting on 2022 First Team All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga. As Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle details, Hufanga — who sustained a torn ACL in November — was cleared to take the next steps in his rehab, but that does not yet include practice.
