San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan stepped up to the podium to speak with reporters following Tuesday's practice, the first of two during this week's mandatory minicamp. Some players were noticeably absent or limited during the session.
Shanahan shared that the team's two starting tackles, Joe Staley and Mike McGlinchey, are dealing with minor injuries. McGlinchey, who is dealing with minor knee issues, did not practice while Staley, who is dealing with a pectoral strain, was limited.
As for McGlinchey, Shanahan said, "We had this planned all along. He needed to get a PRP on his knee, so we just wanted to do it before camp. We thought this would give him enough time to recover and heal the right way. It's something we've been planning on doing for a while. We just wanted to do it at the best time."
McGlinchey will need to stay off the knee for about three weeks following the procedure, said Shanahan.
Also absent from practice was rookie wide receiver
Deebo Samuel, who "tweaked" his groin.
Update: While Shanahan initially reported a groin injury, the 49ers corrected the official transcript of his press conference to make it clear that Samuel sustained what is being identified as a hip injury.
Tight end Garrett Celek is still in the concussion protocol and can't be tested again until the team practices with pads. That, however, is not the primary reason he will continue to miss time. Celek recently underwent back surgery and will be sidelined for about two months.
"It's a serious surgery he did, dealing with the back," Shanahan said. "Some stuff that Trent (Taylor) went through last year, and some stuff that Celek went through before he got here. I think five years ago he had a surgery like this on his back. I want to say then it was during the season. I think he missed — I think I was told six to eight weeks, and he's having something similar right now."
Other players like linebacker Kwon Alexander and running back Jerick McKinnon will be re-evaluated once the team reports to training camp.
"We'll come back from vacation and get their physicals, and we'll test them out, and hope the doctors clear them," Shanahan said. "If they do, they'll be full-go. We'll obviously take care of them and have a plan with them coming back from an injury like that. The goal is to hope they're ready by the first day of camp, but if there's any hesitation at all, then we have no problem being patient with that and wait until they are ready."

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

Insider provides clarity on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors
A questionable rumor surfaced on Wednesday regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers' interest in San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein reported that the AFC team was seemingly confident they could pull off a trade for Aiyuk.
However, the credibility of this report comes into question due to the assertion that the Steelers believe they could acquire Aiyuk at a bargain price, possibly in exchange for a second-round draft pick and a late-round selection.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
