The 49ers still have a massive task to complete that has nothing to do with what happens against the Saints on Sunday night. As of Saturday, they were still working to either close a new deal with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk or potentially be forced to trade the star in the final days before the 2024 season begins. San Francisco comes off a 17-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans in their preseason opener with most of the team’s key players sitting out.

The Saints come off a 16-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason opener, which was marked by rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler scoring the team’s only touchdown on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter. Veteran Derek Carr was 2 of 6 passing for 12 yards in limited duty, while the backfield duo of Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams were both held out of action. New Orleans goes into Year 2 with Carr as the team’s presumed quarterback and an investment made in protecting him, selecting Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga in the first round (No. 14 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft.
