Samuel has knee and rib issues, with Jennings nursing a shin injury.49ers coach Kyle Shanahan had this to say Thursday about the status of both players during his weekly appearance on KNBR:“Deebo and Jauan weren’t able to practice,” Shanahan said. “They’ll be questionable for the game. We’ll see how they go tomorrow. Hopefully they can get out tomorrow and give them a chance for Sunday.”Shanahan will meet with the media and players will be given official designations following practice.The absence of Samuel, Jennings or both could mean an elevated role for Ronnie Bell, a rookie seventh-round pick from Michigan who caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Broc...

SF Giants: Do Farhan Zaidi’s comments mean Gabe Kapler is on the hot seat?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:41:08 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Just a few weeks ago, Giants chairman Greg Johnson took a big swing by giving the club’s top brass his endorsement to run it back in 2024. Given an opportunity Thursday to back manager Gabe Kapler in the same way, Farhan Zaidi let the pitch go.During his regular appearance on the club’s flagship network, KNBR, the Giants’ top baseball boss was asked by host Adam Copeland if Johnson’s statement to the San Francisco Chronicle two weeks earlier, that Zaidi and Kapler “will both be here next year,” still held true.At the time of Johnson’s comments, the Giants had survived a prolonged offensive funk and a rocky start to September and still held their postseason fate in their own hands. They have since lost 10 of 13 games, fallen from four games above .500 (75-71) to three games below (78-81) and from the odds-on favorite for the final National League wild card to eliminated before the final weekend of the season.“Yeah, I mea...

By Tom Krisher and David Koenig | Associated PressDETROIT — The United Auto Workers union expanded its strikes against Detroit automakers Friday, ordering 7,000 more workers to walk off the job in Illinois and Michigan to put more pressure on the companies to improve their offers.It was the second time the union has widened the walkout, which started two weeks ago at three assembly plants before the most recent addition of a Ford plant in Chicago and a General Motors assembly factory near Lansing.Union President Shawn Fain told workers in a video appearance that the strikes were escalated because Ford and GM refused “to make meaningful progress” in ongoing contract talks. Jeep maker Stellantis was spared from the third round of strikes.Ford and GM shot back as a war of words with the union also intensified. Ford accused the UAW of holding up a deal mainly over union representation at electric vehicle battery plants, most of which are joint ventures with a Korean manufact...
