As expected, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga are starting training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Both players are recovering from significant injuries but are expected to contribute during the 2024 season.

Speaking to reporters today, general manager John Lynch added that defensive lineman Drake Jackson will also start on the PUP list. He has yet to be cleared after undergoing patellar tendon surgery.
Rookies reported to training camp last week, while the veteran players reported today. The 49ers plan to hold their first training camp practice on Wednesday at 10:25 a.m. PT.
Drake Jackson recently vowed to silence his critics in 2025. If that happens, it won't be in a San Francisco 49ers uniform. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team is waiving the former second-round pick—their top selection in the 2022 NFL Draft. He will become a free...
