Confident Raheem Mostert says injured 49ers ‘know what we bring to the table’

When the San Francisco 49ers hit the practice field last Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area counted 15 players who did not participate due to injuries. That list included several running backs.

Jerick McKinnon continues to rehab the torn ACL he suffered in September. Matt Breida recently suffered a slightly torn pectoral muscle during a workout. Also on the list is Raheem Mostert, who had a setback with his recovery from the broken forearm which ended his 2018 season.

Mostert's recovery timeframe was pushed back by about a month after needing to repeat the surgery to repair the damage. Both Mostert and Breida are expected to be healthy for training camp. That much was already known. Mostert, however, recently spoke to NBC Sports Bay Area about the second surgery.

"I wasn't anticipating having a second surgery, but the bone wasn't healing right, and that's basically what it came down to," Mostert said via Jennifer Lee Chan. "I had a conversation with my doctor after the first surgery, and he said it was a possibility. It was my ulna that was more complicated because it actually shattered instead of just a clean break."

The situation has left Mostert frustrated because he wants to be out there with his teammates. At the same time, he knows he has to do what is best for his recovery. The 49ers have limited Mostert during organized team activities, which conclude this week.

Mostert sounds confident that those players sitting out practices because of injuries will be able to contribute once healthy.

"We all know we are missing time right now," Mostert said. "But it's one of those things; we know what we bring to the table. We know what we can do, and we have training camp coming. We have plenty of time to get our bodies right."

The 49ers will hold a three-day mandatory minicamp after OTAs conclude. Players will then enjoy about six weeks off before reporting back to Santa Clara in late-July for training camp.

49ers view Isaac Yiadom as leading candidate to start at CB, says insider

The San Francisco 49ers' signing of cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal wasn't a headline-grabbing move. It wasn't even the Bay Area team's most significant free-agency move thus far. That would be defensive end Leonard Floyd signing a two-year deal with the 49ers. However, San Francisco hopes Yiadom proves to be one of its more underrated signings. The 28-year-old defensive back is coming off his best NFL season. Yiadom's 81.1 overall grade and 80.4 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus were career highs. Opposing quarterbacks completed 50 percent of their passes (22 of 44) and owned an 84.4 passer rating when targeting the former New Orleans Saints defender in 2023. RELATED:

49ers actively negotiating with Brandon Aiyuk, not discussing trades, says John Lynch

By David Bonilla

General manager John Lynch addressed reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, emphasizing the San Francisco 49ers' active pursuit of a contract extension for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. There has been significant speculation surrounding Aiyuk's status this offseason. The receiver is slated to play on his fifth-year option, which guarantees him $14.124 million in 2024. While the team would be content with Aiyuk playing on that fifth-year option, it would prefer to secure the star receiver to a long-term deal before he returns to the field.

Details emerge on 49ers' 1-year deals with Jon Feliciano and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles

By Site Staff

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
