The 49ers started their offseason program on April 17. The first two weeks, or Phase One, were limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation.
Phase Two included on-field workouts with individual and group instruction and drills. No live contact or team drills were permitted.
NFL teams may conduct a total of 10 days of OTAs during Phase Three. San Francisco has nine scheduled. While no live contact is permitted during these sessions, 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are allowed. Participation in OTAs is voluntary.
The 49ers will allow the media to observe practice on Tuesday, May 23, at 12:30 p.m. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is scheduled to speak with reporters after that practice.
Quarterback Brock Purdy continues to recover from his March 10 surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. He is expected to miss most or all of the offseason. However, the 49ers remain hopeful that Purdy might return before the end of training camp, which begins in late July and runs through August.
Third-year quarterback Trey Lance and sixth-year veteran Sam Darnold will split the offseason practice reps until Purdy's return.
