No, it won't be during the regular season. It is a preseason matchup.<doc-sep>SANTA CLARA — Who helped and hurt themselves in the 49ers’ exhibition finale Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers? Let’s take a quick look: THREE STUDS 1. Defensive lineman Solomon Thomas: Holy smokes, he sure looked like a No. 3 overall draft pick, even if this was an exhibition finale against future car salesmen. Most encouraging was that his two tackles in the backfield came from the edge, where he’ll line up on base defense. At least he wasn’t the only 2017 first-round draft pick forced to play; Reuben Foster also played the first quarter and also had a tackle-for-loss. “I just wanted to get back out there and get in a few reps and just get ready for Minnesota,” Thomas said. Playing at 280 pounds seems to suit Thomas, who said of that: “During OTAs, I was feeling a little different. I wasn’t feeling as explosive. Now I feel great. I feel like I am owning it.” 2. Wide receiver Richie James. This seventh-round steal produced well (7 catches, 80 yards) to cap an impressive exhibition season. He came through with a fourth-down conversion catch to set up a go-ahead touchdown run, and he delivered big on a third-quarter drive (27-, 9-, and 5-yard receptions in Chargers territory). He also had a 23-yard punt return to the Chargers 30. Asked if he’s done enough to earn a roster spot, James replied: “Yeah, of course. I’m a playmaker, man. That’s all I do. I come in and make plays when I get the ball in my hands.” 3. Guard Jonathan Cooper. Is it a bad sign the 49ers made him play all game? Regardless, this was his most extensive action as a 49er, and his repaired knee seemed to withstand the workload at left guard. Joshua Garnett played all first half at right guard with mixed results, so look for Mike Person (idle Thursday) to start their in the Sept. 9 opener at Minnesota, with Garnett and Cooper the backup guards. Cooper acknowledged his surgically repaired knee is still rusty, adding: “When I feel I’m that player that I was, that’s when I really feel I can help this team. Right now, I feel like, you know, I can do well but I can be better.” He “valued” Thursday’s 60-snap entirety, saying he improved in his pass protection and his run blocking started slow but finished strong. THREE DUDS 1. Darrell Williams. Called up from the practice squad last November, Williams figured to show better than he did. Instead, he allowed crushing sacks on quarterbacks C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens. He still looks ticketed for a practice-squad return unless Pace Murphy beats him out for it. Garry Gilliam would be the backup tackle on game days, assuming he’s recovered from an Aug. 9 concussion. 2. Cole Hikutini: Unable to hold onto a potential touchdown catch last game, Hikutini had a 15-yard pass bounce off his hands on Thursday’s second series. His first reception went for all of 2 yards. Cole Wick got the start ahead of him for the second straight game. Related Articles Have 49ers been priced out of a possible Julio Jones trade?

Victor Bolden. This wasn’t the best way to go out before a four-game suspension. On back-to-back plays in the third quarter, he dropped a pass (albeit a low one) and then had a third-down target knocked from his hands. He had two catches for 4 yards.<doc-sep>
SANTA CLARA, CA - AUGUST 31: Ryan Carrethers #90 of the Los Angeles Chargers strips the ball from Joe Williams #32 of the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on August 31, 2017 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) The San Francisco 49ers host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 of the preseason, and the starting lineup will be interesting, to say the least. Let’s predict it, shall we? Week 4 of any NFL preseason looks nothing like a regular-season game, and that will surely be the case for the San Francisco 49ers when they host the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Aug. 30 at Levi’s Stadium. The Niners are coming off a 23-17 exhibition loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, and that third week of games is generally viewed as the final tuneup in advance of the regular season, which kicks off Thursday, Sept. 6 between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. Most teams, including the 49ers, will rest their starters and primary backups for this contest. For the many players participating in this final exhibition bout, they’re essentially competing for one of only a handful of remaining spots on the 53-man roster or a possible berth on the practice squad. As for the remaining majority? Well, Thursday’s action will be the final NFL-like game they’ll ever play. San Francisco already has a good deal of storylines riding on this final contest. Injuries are a part of those stories, and head coach Kyle Shanahan (h/t 49ers Webzone) already told reporters defensive back Jimmie Ward (quad) and wide receivers Aaron Burbridge (hamstring) and Dante Pettis (knee) won’t be available for the contest. With a number of other players needing work and those few roster spots up for grabs, let’s have some fun and predict what Shanahan’s starting lineup will be against L.A. Offense Quarterback: C.J. Beathard Running back: Jeremy McNichols Fullback: Malcolm Johnson Wide receiver: Aldrick Robinson, Kendrick Bourne, Richie James (slot) Tight end: Cole Hikutini Offensive line: Pace Murphy, Joshua Garnett, J.P. Flynn, Jonathan Cooper, Garry Gilliam Defense Defensive line: Ronald Blair, Sheldon Day, D.J. Jones, Jullian Taylor Linebacker: Korey Toomer, Fred Warner, Mark Nzeocha Cornerback: Greg Mabin, Tarvarius Moore, D.J. Reed (nickel) Safety: Antone Exum, Tyvis Powell Shanahan also clarified C.J. Beathard, not Nick Mullens, would get the start at quarterback. Mullens has been something of a pleasant surprise for the 49ers this preseason, but he’s looking at a practice squad spot at best. Kyle Shanahan Press Conference Final preview of the preseason finale! Posted by San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, August 28, 2018 On top of that, Shanahan noted the starting right guard position is Mike Person’s “to lose right now,” which is something of a shock after watching Joshua Garnett play relatively well the past two preseason bouts. It could be a means to light a bigger fire under Garnett in advance of the regular season. But one would expect the former Stanford product to see a few more reps early in Thursday’s contest. San Francisco also inked former Humboldt State running back Ja’Quan Gardner Tuesday to bolster the offensive backfield. He likely won’t start, as that honor goes to Jeremy McNichols in this prediction. Expect to see Gardner for a number of carries late in the second half, however. The 49ers and Chargers kick off at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 30 from Levi’s Stadium. Rosters will then have to be trimmed down to 53 players the following day, Sept. 1, by 4 p.m. ET.
