On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch informed reporters that running back Jeff Wilson Jr. and safety Tarvarius Moore are being placed on the active/physical-unable-to-perform (PUP) list as the team prepares to kick off training camp.
Wilson suffered a non-contact knee injury in May. Moore underwent surgery after suffering a torn Achilles during practice in June.
"[Players are] going through physicals today, and if there are any additions, Kyle (Shanahan) will hit you up in the coming days," Lynch said. "But that's where we are right now."
Lynch and Shanahan were asked if there were any other potential candidates that they knew of.
"A couple of guys that you know had some things that we'll see on their physicals, if [being placed on PUP] benefits them," Lynch responded. "But no decisions as of yet. Have to do it by the end of today."
Added Shanahan: "A possibility on [Jaquiski Tartt]. We're waiting for [the reports] to come back."
Tartt is dealing with a toe injury.
The good news is that neither Lynch nor Shanahan mentioned others as candidates for the PUP list. Shanahan noted that wide receiver Jalen Hurd (ACL) and defensive ends
Nick Bosa (ACL) and Dee Ford (neck, back) could start going through individual drills in training camp. After that, they will likely be eased into team drills.
"They're all starting out, I believe, with individual (drills) tomorrow," Shanahan said. "We're not going to put any of them in team situations for a little bit. I'd say at least this first block of days, which I think we've got four practices, a day off. Then I believe we've got three more again, then a day off. I think we'll look into it in about a week.
"It's the first time they'll be out there with the D-line and stuff, and doing things like that. Jalen with the receivers. I'd be surprised if they got into team drills within a week but as soon as they're ready, they'll be out there."
Added Shanahan: "I don't expect any of them to start on PUP."

Jeff Garcia praises Brock Purdy, discusses 49ers QB's growth potential
Jeff Garcia has been impressed by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in his two seasons with the team. As the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Purdy was thrust into the spotlight after the 49ers faced quarterback injuries and proved his NFL mettle.
While some doubts lingered after his rookie season, Purdy's resilience shone through. Despite starting only five regular-season games, he guided the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game, where, unfortunately, he suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his throwing arm. Garcia was among those who wondered whether Purdy could maintain his success into his second season.
Last year, coming off surgery, Purdy set a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. His impressive performance
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.
