The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> are one of just three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL.<\/p>\n They\u2019re coming off a 23-17 victory over the Washington Commanders<\/a> on Monday night that improved their record to 6-0.<\/p>\n However, the 49ers have continued to deal with injuries across the roster. They\u2019ve navigated those issues through training camp, the preseason and the first six weeks of the regular season.<\/p>\n Steve Young \u2018Worried\u2019 About 49ers<\/p>\n While many believe the 49ers are Super Bowl favorites, Hall of Fame quarterback and San Francisco legend Steve Young still has concerns<\/a> about the team\u2019s current state, particularly whether it can stay healthy.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we should stand on the shoes. Especially with the Rams<\/a> 2-4, and the Seahawks\u2026 they\u2019re both kind of reeling in a way right now. But that\u2019s fine. Let\u2019s stand on those shoes,\u201d Young said about the 49ers being labeled Super Bowl favorites during an appearance on KNBR.<\/p>\n \u201cBut let\u2019s also recognize out of 12 halves that I\u2019ve seen played. The last half is what puts me with a little shiver. We get people hurt, we\u2019re not full speed, we don\u2019t have everyone on the field\u2026 but I just worry\u2026 I still worry. So I want to stay a worried tone because I know that the games that are coming towards the end of the season are the ones that decide it and I just want us locked in. If we go 17-0 that\u2019s great. I don\u2019t want to look back, I don\u2019t want to take the foot off the pedal, I want to sprint to as many wins as we can and then be as healthy as we can.<\/p>\n \u201cIf everyone can just stay healthy, we\u2019re gonna be in the mix.\u201d<\/p>\n Steve Young is still worried.<\/p>\n The 49ers are 6-0, but last week\u2019s second half gave him \u201cshivers.\u201d<\/p>\n (via Dirty Work w\/ @Adamcopes & @dpapapops) https:\/\/t.co\/jvzG0JBQ6j<\/p>\n \u2014 KNBR (@KNBR) October 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Looking at the 49ers<\/p>\n San Francisco has been led by quarterback Brock Purdy, who\u2019s playing at an MVP level and producing across the offense.<\/p>\n A key piece of his success has been veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, who\u2019s had to battle through several injuries. His health has become a concern for some 49ers fans this early in the season.<\/p>\n However, San Francisco has managed to go 6-0 without several key players. Star pass rusher Nick Bosa has missed several weeks, the team is down multiple wide receivers, and several other players are still working their way back.<\/p>\n Despite all the injuries, the 49ers remain undefeated and still have plenty of room to improve once they get closer to full strength.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tCole Sullivan<\/a> Cole Sullivan is a sports journalist for Heavy.com covering the NFL, NBA, college football, and college basketball.
