Head coach Kyle Shanahan has canceled the Niners’ mandatory minicamp as a reward for their 100% percent attendance this week at OTAs and the teams’ effective performance during the offseason program, NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco reported Wednesday.
That means, with the completion of OTAs, San Francisco will look toward training camp, which is expected to begin in late July.
As part of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, all 32 teams are entitled to a voluntary, nine-week offseason program that’s conducted in three phases. Currently, the league is in phase three. With it, comes 10 days of organized team practice activity, or “OTAs.” There’s also the opportunity for one mandatory minicamp.

Back in April, the league’s offseason workout calendar came out. All 32 teams had dates for mandatory minicamp listed.
But mandatory minicamp isn’t required. And it’s important to note that, even in phase three of the offseason program, no live contact is permitted.
While the 49ers were notably missing wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk at OTAs, his absence seemingly was counted, considering how long he’s been away from the team. After all, San Francisco general manager John Lynch said back in January that Aiyuk had played his last snap with the Niners.
And now there’s reportedly been a warrant issued for Aiyuk’s arrest in California over a speeding incident.
While the one-time All-Pro wideout remains on the roster, the 49ers have moved on from him for all intents and purposes. They’re also reportedly moving on to training camp.
San Francisco is hoping to finally evade the injury bug this season.
Last time around, the 49ers lost quarterback Brock Purdy, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, tight end George Kittle, defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Fred Warner, among others, for significant periods of time.
