Early indications are Pinnock, 26, will step in as a starting safety when the 49ers open the regular season on Sept. 7 in Seattle. With Malik Mustapha sidelined while rehabbing an ACL tear, Pinnock and third-year player Ji’Ayir Brown are running with the first team.

The San Francisco 49ers made a roster move that might indicate good news for one of their ailing wide receivers.

Here we'll try to look at the three San Francisco 49ers players on the roster bubble who must shine in the 2025 NFL preseason.

The 49ers are adding another defensive lineman to the mix. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, San Francisco is signing defensive end Jaylon Allen. Allen spent time with the Broncos last year but then played the 2025 UFL season with the Memphis Showboats. He appeared in 10 games, tallying 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.

As he enters his first season with the Indianapolis Colts, veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward is willing to admit that he didn't put his best foot forward during the 2024 campaign.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward endured emotional turmoil during the final year of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran defender lost his 1-year-old daughter in Oct. 2024 to heart problems and missed three games after her death.

Rookie C.J. West dominated at the onset of the 49ers’ first full-padded practice Monday, a positive sign for an overhauled defensive front.

Beyond the heartbreak of losing his daughter, Ward entered his last season in San Francisco bitter about not getting a contract extension.

Mac Jones quietly is having an outstanding training camp. Through five practices, he has completed a whopping 77 percent of his throws and been intercepted just once.
