Aiyuk stalemate drags on as LeBron’s decision reshapes Bay Area off-season

They hired civil rights attorneys to pursue the examination and understand the circumstances surrounding his passing; the Santa Clara Medical Examiner has not yet released a cause of death. Smith, 36, was a standout player whose career included 49ers records and stints with the Raiders, Cowboys, and Seahawks, but was later troubled by off-field issues.

Five Key Battles to Watch at 49ers OTAs

San Francisco’s OTAs kick off Phase 3 with five storylines: who secures RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey (battling Kaelon Black, Jordan James, and others), whether veteran left guard options (Jones, Willis, Toth) emerge, how Demarcus Robinson and De’Zhaun Stribling align near the line to aid the run game, whether UDFA safeties like Jalen Stroman or Jakob Robinson can climb the depth chart, and how the front seven stock (Halton, Martin, Height) and returning stars like Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams influence the defensive line and blitz packages as the roster moves toward training camp.

49ers OTAs Day 1: Rookies Impress as Absences Highlight Competition

Day 1 of San Francisco’s OTAs showcased several rookies making strong early impressions—Kaelon Black and Jordan James at running back, Romello Height and Jaden Dugger as versatile edge players, and receivers Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Watkins, and Jacob Cowing displaying burst and big-play ability—while De'Zhaun Stribling and Christian Kirk struggled, and notable absences/injuries (Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson, Trent Williams) kept things unsettled, with Isaac Guerendo out and Luke Farrell limited.

NFL Drafts 2026 Schedule to Keep 49ers Fresh and Less Jet-Lagged

The NFL reportedly shaped the 2026 schedule with travel and jet lag in mind for the San Francisco 49ers, aiming to keep them fresher on longer trips. Fox Sports projects the 49ers as the NFC’s top seed due to a favorable schedule and a solid free-agent class including Mike Evans, though the NFC West remains unpredictable. The team is slated for two Thursday games, with only one on three days’ rest, as the league balances prime-time exposure with late-season competitiveness and avoids benching starters when playoff chances are still alive.
