49ers Not Concerned By Nick Bosa's Absence Amid Talks

Jul 31, 2023 3:43 PM

Nick Bosa has not showed up to training camp yet with the San Francisco 49ers.

"I don't like not having one of our best players here," John Lynch said Monday before the 49ers held their first fully padded session of training camp. "We've got a really good track record that I'm proud of as a group of having our players in, but I also understand it. And understand that we're going to have to exhibit some patience and understand that ultimately this thing will work out."

Bosa is entering the fifth and final season of his rookie contract.

Bosa is expected to meet or surpass the $31.67 million.

49ers Planned To Call Philip Rivers For Possible Super Bowl LVII Start

Jul 28, 2023 8:10 AM

Kyle Shanahan admitted in an interview with "The TK Show" that the San Francisco 49ers likely would have called Philip Rivers had the team rallied past the Philadelphia Eagles in this past NFC Championship Game.

The Niners were already on their third quarterback -- Brock Purdy -- leading up to the title game.

After seeing Purdy go down with an elbow injury in the first half, a lot of thoughts started running through Shanahan's mind. 

"I still thought we were going to win the game," Shanahan said. "Whole thing, I'm just thinking is, 'Man, I hope Brock's not as bad as they're saying and what's going to be our Plan B? Are we going to have to get Philip Rivers, someone like that, for the Super Bowl?' Because that's what I'm thinking."

Brock Purdy Cleared To Practice Coming Off Elbow Surgery

Jul 25, 2023 5:21 PM

Brock Purdy has been cleared to participate in practice for the San Francisco 49ers following his right elbow surgery in March.

"Brock is cleared and ready to go," John Lynch said. "Having said that, we're sticking and we're adhering to a plan that's been put in place for some time."

Purdy will be on a pitch count that includes two days of throwing and one day off.

Lynch said repeatedly throughout the offseason Purdy would be the "leader in the clubhouse" to start when healthy.

"He will [be with the starters] when he's out there," Shanahan said. "The throwing plan's a little different. We're never going to have him go three days in a row."

Trey Lance and Sam Arnold will alternate reps with the starting offense on days when Purdy is not practicing.

Jul 18, 2023 9:11 AM

Trey Lance's status with the San Francisco 49ers remains in question.

Brock Purdy is expected to start at quarterback for the 49ers if he is healed in time for the season opener. 

Despite his lack of a hold on the starting spot, Lance is beloved in the locker room.

"Trey is beloved in our locker room," Kyle Juszczyk said. "Everybody loves Trey. The dude really does work his ass off. He's super personable. He is a very well-liked guy."

49ers Owners Assume Control Of Leeds United

Jul 18, 2023 8:56 AM

The owners of the San Francisco 49ers have assumed control of the English soccer club Leeds United.

Leeds United announced on Monday that the English Football League had approved the sale of the club to 49ers Enterprises, allowing for "an immediate transition of ownership."

Leeds was relegated from the Premier League to the second-tier Championship for next season.

Paraag Marathe and 49ers CEO Jed York lead 49ers Enterprises.

The ownership group first invested in Leeds in 2018 and increased its share to 44% in late 2021, then reached an agreement last month to take over Leeds with NBA players Larry Nance Jr. and T.J. McConnell joining as minority partners.
