The San Francisco 49ers typically fly out of San Jose International Airport for road games and were set to do so for this two-game stint on the East Coast. Their plans changed, however, when the plane was found to be damaged, forcing the entire team to travel north and leave out of San Francisco International Airport, according to an on-air report by FOX.
The 49ers plan to stay on the East Coast between their two games at MetLife Stadium. The team has a comfortable lead late in the fourth quarter against the New York Jets and will return to play the New York Giants in one week.
The team will stay and practice at The Greenbrier in West Virginia this week.
Despite likely departing with a win, the 49ers have to be concerned after several players suffered injuries against the Jets. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, running back Raheem Mostert, and defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas left the game and did not return. The latter two had to be carted to the locker room for further evaluations.
The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 24. The first round will take place that night, followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, April 25, and the fourth through seventh rounds on Saturday, April 26.
