49ers 49ers DB Charvarius Ward said he believes he should be up to full speed by the start of training camp. “I’m still rehabbing,” Ward said, via PFT. “So I’m trying to get back up to running full speed and everything. . . .

According to Mike Garafolo, the 49ers and WR Brandon Aiyuk are not close on coming to terms on a contract extension at this time.  Garafolo notes the teams that called the 49ers about trading for Aiyuk ahead of and during the draft got the impression that San Francisco didn’t want to trade him.  However, the two sides remain at an impasse. Garafolo does not expect Aiyuk to attend any voluntary OTAs and adds it’s an open question whether he skips mandatory minicamp in June and incurs the fines.  Garafolo points out Aiyuk has not requested a trade yet and things have not deterior ..read more

49ers 49ers DC Nick Sorensen explained what former Chargers HC Brandon Staley will bring to the team. “He has experience as a coordinator, he has experience as a head coach, so he sees things holistically,” Sorensen said, via 49ers Wire. “He knows how to build plans. Just getting him in here and spending extra hours just talking football with him, he’s very bright and is really a humble guy who is smart and knows football. That’s been really awesome and helpful for me.” Soreson detailed what Staley’s role will look like moving forward. “He’s been helping me overall,” Sorensen said. “He’s been ..read more

49ers GM John Lynch told reporters on Friday that 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw could start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he recovers from a torn Achilles. “He’ll tell you he’s going to be back Week 1, but we have to be smart,” Lynch said, via Eric Branch of the SF Chronicle. “That may be a PUP situation. De’Vondre [Campbell] gives us an opportunity to fill in for Dre if he’s not there.” Placing Greenlaw on the PUP list would keep him out for the first four weeks of the season, making Week 5 the earliest he could be available.  He suffered a non-contact injury in the seco ..read more

49ers The Athletic’s Matt Barrows notes it’s still possible the 49ers could re-sign veteran S Tashaun Gipson, perhaps closer to or during training camp. He thinks the team would like to fortify its depth at safety, and the veteran Gipson likely wants to avoid a lot of spring work, assuming he decides to continue playing. Looking ahead to training camp, Barrows lists Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and first-rounder Ricky Pearsall as roster locks. Assuming the 49ers keep six receivers on the active roster and two on the practice squad like last year, that leaves fourth-rounder Jaco ..read more
