The San Francisco 49ers host the San Diego Chargers Thursday night at Levis Stadium for a 7PM kick off in the NFL Pre Season closing game. In this contest 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will make some tough decisions on who to keep and who not to keep. The 49ers already released tight end Lance McDonald finishing up his time with San Francisco with 64 catches, 866 yards, and seven touchdowns.

The 49ers will have quarterback Brian Hoyer as their starting play caller. Hoyer showed improvement from his game against Denver two weeks ago where he struggled to get the offense moving. Last Saturday in Minnesota Hoyer had his passing moving and he threw with time in the pocket and had targeted his receivers with much better skill.
