Overview

  • Christian McCaffrey, cleared of last season’s Achilles and knee issues, took full-speed reps in the first OTA practice under no-tackle restrictions.
  • Rookie wideout Ricky Pearsall tweaked his hamstring in offseason workouts and is unlikely to return to practice until training camp.
  • Veteran Brandon Aiyuk remains off the field while rehabbing from a torn ACL and MCL sustained during the 2024 season.
  • The team released punter Mitch Wishnowsky and signed veteran Thomas Morstead to reunite him with special teams coordinator Brant Boyer.
  • Safety Ji’Ayir Brown and rookies Alfred Collins and Marques Sigle will sit out all offseason team sessions following surgery and injury setbacks.
