49ers’ season opener puts them on ‘Monday Night Football’ against Aaron Rodgers

San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick breaks a tackle against the New York Jets’ Darron Lee in the second quarter of their NFL game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016. The 49ers’ season-opening matchup certainly is prime-time worthy as Rodgers and the New York Jets come into Levi’s Stadium for a Sept. 9 kickoff.

Rodgers, a Chico native and Cal product, is coming off an Achilles tear that he sustained in last season’s Jets’ opener. Rodgers went 0-4 against the 49ers in the playoffs during his Green Bay Packers’ tenure, from 2005 to 2022. Robert Saleh enters his fourth season as the Jets’ coach, after previously serving four years as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator, a role that Nick Sorensen got promoted to fill this offseason. Saleh is one of four coaches on the 49ers’ schedule who previously worked with or under Shanahan, the others being Matt LaFleur , Mike McDaniel and Sean McVay .

At 5 p.m. Wednesday, the NFL will reveal its entire schedule for the upcoming season, although some dates already have been announced, including Monday’s announcement that the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will kick off the season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5.
