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.

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 San Francisco 49ers held their first padded practice of training camp on Monday, and they have three young players standing out so far.

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.

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

The San Francisco 49ers are adding another depth piece to their front seven on Tuesday, as they're signing defensive end Jaylon Allen.

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

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.

The San Francisco 49ers completed their second block of practices during training camp. First-round pick Mykel Williams did not practice on Tuesday due to a “minor ankle” injury, according to the team.
