The San Francisco 49ers traveled south to take on the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium just days after the two teams met for a joint practice session, and Kyle Shanahan's team walked away with a 41-17 victory.
With such a lopsided victory, the 49ers got some great performances from several players on Thursday. As we continue working our way through this game, let's take a look at who had the best nights.
San Francisco's second-round pick had a strong debut against the Tennessee ****** ans, and he continued that run against the Chargers. On Thursday, he caught four of his five targets for 45 yards and showed, once again, that quarterback Brock Purdy can trust him.
Despite all of the injuries at wide receiver throughout training camp, Cowing hasn't exactly taken advantage of the opportunity. However, on Thursday, he showed that he can be a difference-maker on special teams, as he took a punt back 83 yards for a touchdown in the first half. That one play may have helped him earn a roster spot for 2026.
Jones joined the 49ers this offseason, and he has been making plays throughout camp. After suffering a hand injury early against the ****** ans, he entered Thursday's game after Renardo Green went down with a hamstring. He played well again, recording one tackle and sticking in coverage to break up multiple passes.
