Purdy’s leadership and Kittle’s reconnect with the offense boost hopes for sharper two-tight-end looks, while McCaffrey’s load-management plan is on display. The 49ers head to Week 1 in Melbourne vs. the Rams; Nick Bosa is ramping up behind the scenes, Romello Height is out with an undisclosed injury, and undrafted James Thompson Jr. is pushing to earn a roster spot as decisions loom.

Purdy Delivers Peak Camp Performance as 49ers Navigate Depth Issues

Brock Purdy is having the best camp of his career, carving up a makeshift 49ers offense with two deep TDs, no interceptions, and sharper progression reads despite a shaky O-line and a thin receiving corps. The defense flashed across the board (Lenoir, Stout, Jones, Sigle) with Halton emerging as an interior disruptor, and De’Zhaun Stribling inching back to health. On the downside, Nick Bosa and Dre Greenlaw missed multiple practices, Deebo Samuel was pressed into a running back role to cover depth, and a few defensive backs and Mac Jones showed inconsistent moments, underscoring ongoing roster health questions ahead of the season.

Deebo Samuel arrived in "really good shape" and took part in a full 49ers practice on his first day back, signaling a versatile, all-over-the-field role for San Francisco. Coaches John Lynch and Raheem Morris voiced excitement about using him at receiver, running back, and in return, while the team navigated early camp injuries—including Ricky Pearsall’s season-ending knee surgery and several defensive-end injuries. Samuel connected with Brock Purdy during drills and even carried the ball, suggesting he’ll be a central playmaking piece as camp continues.

49ers Bring Deebo Samuel Back as a Complementary Offense Weapon

San Francisco re-signed Deebo Samuel on a one-year, incentive-heavy deal (up to $7 million), retooling the offense around a deeper receiving corps and using Samuel as a secondary weapon rather than the primary playmaker. With Ricky Pearsall’s knee concerns, the 49ers added outside speed with Mike Evans and leaned on younger receivers to boost field-stretching and yards after catch for QB Brock Purdy, aiming to recreate a versatile, multi-threat attack while Samuel contributes in multiple roles, including possible return duties.
