The San Francisco 49ers have changed the schedule of their mandatory minicamp, once planned for three days. The team has opted to cancel Thursday's practice, which was supposed to be the third and final of the week.

Tuesday and Wednesday ended up being the only practices of the week.

The 49ers have also opted to cancel Thursday's media availability, so there is unlikely to be anything of substance reported from the team's Santa Clara facility for the rest of the week, barring any roster or contract moves.

Thursday's practice was initially scheduled for 10:50 a.m. It could be that head coach Kyle Shanahan determined that his players don't need the extra practice. This week's minicamp was originally scheduled for next week, and the team decided to move it up.


"I don't think we're going to need 12 [Phase 3 practices]," Shanahan said on Tuesday, "so I thought it made more sense to move the minicamp up, get everybody here. We'll see how this week goes and see what we think we need at the end of the week."
