No pads for 49ers, NFL players until 20th day of training camp under new proposal

The NFL is proposing a new ramp-up schedule for training camps, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The new timeline means coaches may not be able to have their players suit up in pads until 20 days after reporting.
The proposal is in response to the NFL Players Association's (NFLPA's) demands for the NFL to take recommendations on how to address the coronavirus pandemic more seriously.
The league has already conceded and moved forward with daily testing for the first two weeks, and even offered to eliminate the entire preseason.
Below is the proposed training camp schedule reported by Rapoport.
San Francisco 49ers rookies are scheduled to report to training camp on Thursday, along with quarterbacks and injured players, for COVID-19 testing. The rest of the roster is set to arrive in one week.
Players will undergo a second round of testing a few days after the first one. Should both return negative, they will be allowed into the team facility, assuming Santa Clara County allows the 49ers to do so by then. The team's training camp plans and protocols remain under review by county officials.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined KNBR on Friday morning and shared some injury updates. All eyes during practices this week have been on the statuses of wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
Aiyuk (hamstring) got back on the practice field on Thursday, but Samuel remained sidelined as he recovers from a Jones fracture in June.
Shanahan was asked about Samuel's status for Sunday when the 49ers open the season by hosting the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium.
"I haven't gotten an update from the trainers yet," Shanahan said on the Murph & Mac show, "but I'm really hoping they're going to get out and practice today. I know we got Aiyuk out there yesterday, and he looked good. Deebo wasn't able to get out there
