Overview

• The 49ers conducted tryouts on August 12 for four free-agent wideouts—Jalen Camp, Frank Darby, Kwamie Lassiter II and Malik Turner—to address gaps in camp.
• Spencer Petras joined the workout as a tryout quarterback to throw passes and evaluate route timing with the visiting receivers.
• Brandon Aiyuk remains sidelined until at least Week 6 and rookie Jordan Watkins is out roughly a month with a high-ankle sprain, leaving just six healthy receivers.
• Shanahan says the team is “looking into everything” but will steer clear of costly signings like Amari Cooper or Gabe Davis to preserve salary-cap flexibility.
• A shortage of healthy pass catchers has halted standard 1-on-1 drills and prompted quarterback Brock Purdy to express frustration over eroding timing and chemistry.
