The Jets and 49ers meet in a compelling showdown on "Monday Night Football" to conclude Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.
LIVE: Follow Jets vs. 49ers updates from 'Monday Night Football'
San Francisco retains its core from last year's team, which fell just shy of a Super Bowl victory. Star running back Christian McCaffrey, having nursed calf and Achilles injuries throughout training camp, is expected to play. And even though All-Pro tackle Trent Williams and receiver Brandon Aiyuk endured offseason holdouts, they both secured contract extensions.
That sets up third-year quarterback Brock Purdy with a number of familiar weapons, not to mention a typically stout defense.
The same can be said for the Jets, who tout a potentially dynamic offense behind a pair of third-year players in running back Breece Hall and receiver Garrett Wilson. So much hinges on the health of 40-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is primed to return after missing all but four plays last season due to an Achilles injury.
The Sporting News has you covered with everything you need to know about the Week 1 Monday Night Football matchup.
