The San Francisco 49ers opened three practices to the media during organized team activities (OTAs). The first was today, and Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee provided a list of players who did not participate in the session. Many are players who are rehabbing from injuries suffered last season and weren't expected to participate, like defensive ends
Nick Bosa (ACL) and Dee Ford (neck, back), and wide receiver Jalen Hurd (ACL).
Obviously, the beat writer meant Robbie Gould at the end there.
The 49ers expect Bosa to be ready for the start of the 2021 season. Ford's situation seems to be more up in the air.
"Dee's doing well," general manager
John Lynch said in March. "With that type of injury, you don't want to get too high or too low, and I think he's really in a good place. He's working. He's been here every day ... He's working extremely hard. It's encouraging to look out my window and see things progress. I think we'll leave it at that."
Hurd suffered his injury during training camp last year and has yet to step onto the field for a regular-season NFL game. David Lombardi of The Athletic notes that Hurd was seen working on the side during practice, so he wasn't absent.
"Jalen's rehab is going well,"
Lynch shared in May. "We're eager to get him back here because he's been rehabbing away. But we check in regularly, and he's doing a nice job with his rehab, so we're excited about that.
"I think Jalen's always been a hard worker, and has just had some tough luck with that stuff. He'll continue to work hard, and we think he'll be ready to go."
Safeties Jaquiski Tartt and Marcell Harris, along with new linebacker Nate Gerry, were also present for today's practice but working on the side.
Reporters will get two more looks at practices before the team closes out OTAs. The next one will be on Wednesday, June 2, and the last will be on Tuesday, June 8.

Just when you thought the San Francisco 49ers and Tom Brady storylines had concluded, the future Hall of Fame quarterback drops another tidbit that sparks discussion. During an episode of "DeepCut with VicBlends," the host asked Brady what he would do if the NFL came calling once again.
VicBlends inquired if Brady would consider returning to the football field if a playoff-bound team like the 49ers needed him.
"I'm not opposed to it," Brady said, per Jordan Mendoza of USA Today. "I don't know if they're gonna let me if I become an owner an NFL team. I don't know, I'm always gonna be in good shape, always be able to

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
