The San Francisco 49ers kick off their 2019 training camp on Friday, July 26. Practices officially start the next day.
One player many will want to watch is rookie edge rusher
Nick Bosa, whom the Niners selected No. 2 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. Bosa suffered a minor hamstring injury early during organized team activities, was removed from practices and all but ruled out of on-field events until training camp.
According to Pro Football Focus'
49ers Twitter account, Bosa is expected to be a full participant for camp:
This was likely the plan all along, so it shouldn't come as a shock Bosa is scheduled to return in time for training camp. Given the lofty draft investment on his services, San Francisco needed not take chances with his health. His injury did, however, create some concern about previous injuries, namely the 2018 abdominal injury, which required surgery and ultimately convinced Bosa to sit out the rest of the year at Ohio State in preparation for a life in the NFL.
Yet such a conclusion might be a bit premature. It's not uncommon to see players, not just rookies, suffer minor soft-tissue injuries early during offseason workouts. The 49ers were hit with a
number of these early in OTAs, and many of those players (including Bosa) were ruled out until training camp.
Bosa has yet to sign his rookie contract, which could delay him getting onto the field by the time camp starts. That said, the 49ers have gone through similar situations with first-round NFL Draft picks before. In 2017, defensive end Solomon Thomas wasn't signed by the time training camp began. The following year, offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey's deal was done just before camp started.
If Bosa and the 49ers' standoff goes into August, that might be a problem.
At least it's looking like health won't be, though, and that's good news for San Francisco.

Brock Purdy hopes to organize throwing session ahead of 49ers training camp
The San Francisco 49ers will hold a mandatory minicamp from June 4 through 6, officially concluding the team's offseason program. After that, the Niners will break for over a month and return to the Santa Clara facilities for training camp in late July.
Between that time, starting quarterbacks will often organize throwing sessions with their receivers in an effort to build chemistry ahead of the rigors of training camp. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been unable to participate in such sessions over the last two years. The last overall draft pick in 2022, Purdy had yet to make a name for himself during his first offseason. Last year, he was still recovering from offseason surgery on his throwing arm.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
