49ers’ Offseason Outlook Ahead of Training Camp

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for training camp with a mix of optimism and concern surrounding key positions. With Robert Saleh back as defensive coordinator, the team must address several questions, including how rookie pass rusher Bryce Huff adapts to the West Coast and whether No. 11 overall pick Mykel Williams can become a starter.

Christian McCaffrey is set to return from injury, but his health remains a concern after a disastrous 2024 season. The 49ers have been successful when he’s on the field, but his prolonged absences due to injury will be a focus this summer.

The team’s wide receiver corps is also a point of interest, with Jauan Jennings’ contract discontent casting a shadow over camp. Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing are expected to make significant contributions, while rookies Jordan Watkins and Junior Bergen vie for a role.

Training Camp Dates: Players report on July 15 (rookies) and July 22 (veterans). The team will host training camp at the SAP Performance Facility in Santa Clara, California.
