Overview

  • Christian McCaffrey is fully healthy and running at full speed during 11-on-11 OTAs with limited contact, boosting expectations for the 49ers’ rushing attack.
  • Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to return before training camp after missing voluntary OTAs.
  • Left tackle Trent Williams has been absent from OTAs while training in Houston but is expected to report for mandatory minicamp on June 10.
  • San Francisco secured key contract extensions for Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Fred Warner totaling $404 million before the first OTA, ensuring stability in its core.
  • The 49ers have overhauled their roster and coaching staff this offseason, replacing punter Mitch Wishnowsky with Thomas Morstead and welcoming Robert Saleh back as defensive coordinator.
