49ers begin offseason workout program today

The San Francisco 49ers are among the 25 teams kicking off their offseason workout program today. However, don't expect to see players facing off against each other on the practice field for the next couple of weeks. The program's early portion, dubbed "Phase One," spans two weeks and includes limited activities such as meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.

The second phase of the offseason program extends for three weeks and includes on-field workouts for individual or group instruction and drills. After that, teams can hold up to 10 days of organized team activities on the practice field.

As the 49ers continue to negotiate a contract extension for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, it's important to note that all of these sessions are voluntary. A mandatory minicamp will be held in June. Live contact will be prohibited until the start of training camp in late July.

The 49ers will also host a rookie minicamp during the first or second weekend following the 2024 NFL Draft. Last year, the minicamp took place two weeks after the draft.

Below are the specific dates for the 49ers' offseason program:

• First Day: April 15
• OTA Offseason Workouts: May 20-21, May 23, May 28-29, May 31
• Mandatory Minicamp: June 4-6
