The team is auditioning veteran rotational pass rushers as short-term depth during training camp to address injuries that have thinned its edge unit following a league-low 2025 sack total.

Overview

  • On Sunday, August 2, 2026 the 49ers hosted a workout for veteran edge Ogbo Okoronkwo, NFL Network reported.
  • The club also auditioned Andre Carter II and Xavier Thomas the same day, according to the NFL transaction wire.
  • San Francisco's need for immediate edge help stems from two ACL recoveries for Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams plus multiple training-camp injuries that have reduced available rotation players.
  • Okoronkwo is a 2018 fifth-round pick who has played for the Rams, Texans, Browns and Eagles, was on the Rams' Super Bowl LVI roster, spent most of 2025 on injured reserve and projects as a rotational, low-cost option.
  • No contract for Okoronkwo has been reported and the 49ers are continuing evaluations ahead of preseason roster decisions beginning with their August 13 opener.
