Discourse around 49ers' stretching routine has reached an absurd level

The San Francisco 49ers have already been forced to contend with a lot of injuries in 2025, and the regular season has not even begun.

Some fans are blaming all of these injuries on the Niners’ stretching routine, or lack thereof.

The discourse surrounding this topic has reached absurd levels. It seems to have started back during joint practices with the Denver Broncos when a commentator on social media noted that the Broncos seemed to stretch more than San Francisco prior to practices.

Some people have latched onto this as the reason why the 49ers have already dealt with so many injuries.
