49ers Cancel Mandatory Minicamp After Perfect OTA Turnout

Team officials say the decision rewards 100% attendance by giving players extra rest before training camp.

Overview

  • A team official told reporter Matt Maiocco on Wednesday that coach Kyle Shanahan has canceled the 49ers' mandatory minicamp that had been scheduled for June 9–10.
  • The team said the move was issued as a reward for 100 percent player attendance at this week's voluntary OTAs.
  • One more OTA session is scheduled for later this week and now stands as the last team workout before training camp.
  • With no other team activities planned until camp, the organization gains time to finalize the training camp schedule that has not yet been announced.
  • Canceling a required minicamp is uncommon but not unprecedented and shortens the offseason calendar while giving players extra recovery time and staff more space for planning.
