The decision to cancel joint practices for the 49ers changed their preseason strategy, leading to starters playing against the Saints rather than just reserves.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that the absence of joint practices is a significant shift for the 49ers, providing fans a better glimpse of their roster ahead of Week 1.
Notable players like left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be out as they seek new contracts, yet most starters are expected to play.
The game will be broadcast nationally on FOX, with several streaming and radio options available for fans to catch all the action.
