WR Jalen Nailor. The third-year player, who played in only six games last season because of injuries and depth chart factors, had a 21-yard TD reception against the Giants after consistently showing promise as a red zone threat and more throughout training camp. With WR Jordan Addison out this week with an injury, Nailor could find himself in a more prominent role in the passing game in complement to Justin Jefferson.

RB Jordan Mason. The third-year player, who went undrafted out of Georgia Tech, had 28 carries for 147 yards and one TD in his first career start in place of the injured Christian McCaffrey. With McCaffrey out again this week, Mason will get another chance as the featured runner. His 28 carries were the most for a 49ers player in a regular-season game since Frank Gore had 31 on Oct. 30, 2011. Mason’s average of 5.5 yards per rush in his career is the sixth best of any running back in the Super Bowl era with at least 100 carries.

Vikings RT Brian O'Neill vs. 49ers DE Nick Bosa. The four-time Pro Bowl pick Bosa, who has three sacks in three career games against the Vikings, presents a problem for any opponent with a proven pass rusher in newcomer Leonard Floyd lined up on the opposite end. O'Neill and LT Christian Darrisaw give the Vikings one of the best tandems in the league but O'Neill is listed as questionable with an elbow injury. Bosa played primarily on the left side last week, but he will switch from time to time. The Vikings protected QB Sam Darnold relatively well against the Giants in their opener, allowing only one sack.

McCaffrey will miss his second straight game. ... 49ers backup DE Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) is set to return after missing the opener. ... Addison was ruled out with an ankle injury. ... ... Vikings OLB Andrew Van Ginkel was also held out of practice on Wednesday with a foot injury the team is trying to manage after it limited him throughout the offseason program. ...

This is the first time San Francisco has visited Minnesota in consecutive seasons since the 49ers played the Vikings on the road three straight times from 1990-92. The previous time San Francisco won in Minnesota was Dec. 13, 1992. The Vikings have won seven straight at home against the 49ers since then. ... The 49ers are 5-1 all time in the playoffs against the Vikings, all in the divisional round. The last five of those postseason meetings have all been at San Francisco.

The 49ers seek their fifth 2-0 start since 2010. They went to the Super Bowl following three of the previous four 2-0 starts in 2023, 2019 and 2012. … San Francisco had eight straight scoring drives in Week 1 for the first time since at least 1978, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. … 49ers WR Deebo Samuel had his 20th career TD run in Week 1, the most for any player since 1960 who is primarily a WR. … San Francisco QB Brock Purdy failed to throw a TD pass against the Jets, for just the third time in 22 career regular-season starts. … Jake Moody tied a 49ers franchise record with six made FGs last week, including two from at least 50 yards. … San Francisco LT Trent Williams allowed no pressures on 33 pass blocking snaps, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. … 49ers LB Fred Warner had his 12th career forced fumble last week, the second most in franchise history behind Patrick Willis (16). … The 49ers controlled the ball for 38:40 in the opener, second best in the NFL in Week 1. … San Francisco is 34-3 since the start of the 2019 season when winning the turnover margin. ... Darnold, who was the backup to Purdy with the 49ers last season, had a 113.2 passer rating in the opener for his second-best mark in five years. The only one better (121.4) came in Week 15 in 2022 with Carolina against Detroit. ... Jefferson needs four receptions to pass Julio Jones (64 games) and Jarvis Landry (64) as the third-fastest player to reach 400 catches. Michael Thomas (56) and Odell Beckham Jr. (61) were the fastest. Jefferson has played in 61 regular-season games. ... With 42 receiving yards, Jefferson will tie Lance Alworth (62 games) as the fastest player to reach 6,000 receiving yards. The next-closest player was Julio Jones (64). ... The Vikings averaged 78 yards per scoring drive in Week 1, the best in the NFL. ... Vikings RB Aaron Jones had 94 yards on 14 rushes in his debut, ending his streak of five straight games with 100-plus rushing yards that finished his 2023 season with the Packers. ... Jones had two catches for 15 yards in the opener and has topped 100-plus yards from scrimmage in six straight games, the longest active streak in the league. ... The Vikings had five sacks in Week 1, including two by backup OLB Patrick Jones II. ... Vikings S Harrison Smith had his 35th career interception in the opener, the most among active players. ... Van Ginkel had a sack and an interception return for a TD in his debut for the Vikings.

UDINE, Italy (AP) — The city of Udine is on high alert as Italy prepares to host Israel in a competitive soccer match on Monday.

The Nations League match is being played among the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East which has spread to Lebanon after more than a year-long war in Gaza.

It is the first match Israel has played outside neutral Hungary this year. After the Israel-Hamas war started on Oct. 7 last year, the national soccer team played in Kosovo and Andorra last November.

All Israel matches since then have been played in Hungary, including last month’s away game against Belgium in the Nations League after the Belgian soccer federation refused to host the game for security reasons.

“We are going to play this match with the hope of convincing ever more people of the wrongness of war,” Italy coach Luciano Spalletti said. “There are many Israelis who don’t want it and we must convince ever more people that this is something that has to stop.”

Fewer than 12,000 tickets have been sold for Monday's match — less than half the capacity of the 25,000-seater Stadio Friuli — amid stringent security measures.

Areas around the stadium were blocked off 48 hours before kick-off and declared a “Red Zone” and only fans with tickets can pass through the tall metal barriers. Supporters have been strongly advised to arrive early because of rigorous checks.

Hundreds of extra police officers have also been called up from surrounding areas.

There is a pro-Palestine demonstration planned for 5 p.m. local time in the city center — just under four hours before the match kicks off — with organisers expecting around 4,000 people to attend.
