49ers-Seahawks: 3 major differences from last year’s roster

The San Francisco 49ers enter their latest meeting with the Seattle Seahawks featuring a significantly revamped roster compared to their three 2025 encounters. Mike Evans has joined the offense to provide a consistent deep threat, replacing a wide receiver corps that previously struggled to generate separation.

Furthermore, the return of George Kittle and Deebo Samuel bolsters a lineup that was depleted during the postseason. Defensively, San Francisco has improved its ability to stop outside zone runs, a scheme Seattle utilizes on 60 percent of its plays.

The team has moved on from previous contributors like Dee Winters, Garret Wallow, and Eric Kendricks to address vulnerabilities in their linebacker unit. Key players from last year's matchups, including Ricky Pearsall, Zach Charbonnet, Jauan Jennings, Riq Woolen, Kenneth Walker, and Jake Tonges, are either no longer with their respective teams or unavailable for this contest.
