It's April 3rd. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The San Francisco 49ers have been plagued by injuries like no other team in the NFL lately. They topped the charts for points lost due to injuries in 2024 and ranked 3rd in 2025. Now heading into 2026, they're missing big names like George Kiddell, Nick Bosa, and Mikel Williams. General manager John Lynch put rumors to rest about an electrical substation near their practice facility messing with players. He brought in sciences who fully debunked that idea before the new season kicks off. One NFC front office exec sees it differently, telling reporters anonymously that the Niners keep signing players with shaky injury histories, who then break down. That view doesn't fully hold up though. Guys like their recent additions were solid before, and homegrown stars like Dre Greenlaw stayed mostly healthy until bad breaks hit.

Even Bosa's Achilles tear happened back in 2020. Injuries hit football hard. Before the Niners, it's a pattern that's testing their depth as they gear up for another run.
