Overview
- Teams began voluntary, non-contact OTAs this week to install schemes and give coaches a first organized look at 2026 rosters.
- Chicago rookie quarterback Caleb Williams drew praise for multiple deep throws, including a scramble-drill completion to Rome Odunze and a long connection with rookie Zavion Thomas.
- 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said the priority is avoiding injuries, and several veterans sat out practice while Mike Evans’ absence was for a personal matter and expected to be short-term.
- San Francisco confirmed running back Isaac Guerendo tore a pectoral while lifting weights and will likely miss most or all of training camp, a development that prompted the team to add depth at the position.
- Early OTA reps are provisional because sessions are voluntary and non-contact, and teams will move into mandatory minicamps in mid-June before training camp opens in July.
