49ers Begin Open Training Camp After Targeted Offseason Overhaul

How the team uses public practices will show whether new additions can fix last season's weaknesses and reshape the roster.

Overview

  • The 49ers have released a late‑July training camp slate with multiple open practices at the SAP Performance Facility and at least one joint practice planned to give coaches and fans extended looks at the roster.
  • The signings of veteran receiver Mike Evans and the trade for interior lineman Osa Odighizuwa are the highest‑profile moves intended to add a downfield target for Brock Purdy and more interior pass rush.
  • Brandon Aiyuk remains on the reserve/left squad and has not applied for reinstatement, a status that keeps his contract rights with the team while shifting reps and roster opportunity to other receivers.
  • Training camp will center on several clear position battles, especially the left‑guard fight between Connor Colby and Robert Jones, the wide‑receiver rotation behind Evans, and safety and edge roles opposite Nick Bosa.
  • Rookies such as De'Zhaun Stribling, Ephesians Prysock and Jaden Dugger will be judged early on special teams and in joint practices as their play could determine who earns roster spots and immediate snaps.
