Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan named eight captains: Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Fred Warner, Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Nick Bosa, Kyle Juszczyk, and first-time captain Deommodore Lenoir.
- Lenoir, extended last fall, steps into a larger leadership role, and reports indicate a summer hip issue is not expected to affect his Week 1 availability.
- Shanahan said Jauan Jennings will be limited in practice but is expected to play against the Seahawks, and ESPN reports his 2025 pay now includes up to $3 million in play-time incentives.
- To stabilize the receiver group, the team promoted Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the active roster and moved Russell Gage Jr. to the practice squad.
- The 49ers carry 10 rookies on the 53-man roster, with Shanahan saying multiple young defenders are slated for meaningful roles starting in Week 1.
