The NFL preseason is officially underway. The 49ers and Titans will go head-to-head Thursday night for both teams’ 2026-27 debut.

San Francisco will be happy to host this matchup at Levi’s Stadium, as the franchise is already suffering from a staggering number of injuries across the roster. Ricky Pearsall, George Kittle and Mike Evans are some of the notable names that will be sidelined this week. Kyle Shanahan will be fulfilling his coaching duties, just a month after sustaining injuries in a car crash on July 14.

Meanwhile, Robert Saleh will be making his debut as head coach of the Titans against his former team of five years. Eyes will be on Cam Ward as he returns for his sophomore season with Tennessee, and is still looking to find his rhythm in the big leagues. The franchise is leaning on new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to unlock Ward’s potential under center.

Both teams are looking to return to strength of seasons past. Who will snag a win to start things off?
