Niner Noise Podcast: SF 49ers’ gauntlet continues in New Orleans after “false- positive” loss to Packers

The SF 49ers’ roster — already decimated by injury — was dealt a short-term blow when wide receiver Kendrick Bourne’s false-positive COVID-19 test forced three more offensive starters from Thursday’s game, which the NFL chose not to postpone — for reasons unknown. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers took full advantage of the opportunity to hand the SF 49ers their second blowout loss in as many weeks.

Niner Noise Podcast hosts Chris Wilson (@cgawilson) and Robert Morrison (@rs_morrison) discuss the two positive performances from the 49ers’ Thursday Night Football matchup, including a stellar showing from kick returner and wide receiver Richie James, who made the most of his first significant offensive action of the year.

In Week 10, the Niners limp into New Orleans for a showdown with the NFC-South-leading Saints, who are fresh off their blowout victory over QB Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Does this makeshift San Francisco squad have a fighting chance against its long-term rival?

Following the 49ers’ trip to NOLA is the team’s much-needed bye week.
