The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the New Orleans Saints in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Following a 20–13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1, the Saints will attempt to come out on top for the first time this season on Sunday against the Niners.
The 49ers enter Week 2 with a winning record following a narrow win against the Seattle Seahawks in the season opener. While that win was a perfect way to start the season, they are facing several injuries to important players, such as tight end George Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy.
Here, we will take a look at the projected starting lineups of both sides ahead of the Week 2 clash.
