Hufanga (knee) is expected to return to the mix "sometime in training camp," according to coach Kyle Shanahan, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Hufanga tore his ACL during Week 11 action last season, so look for the safety to work his way back gradually once he resumes on-field activities. Prior to sustaining his injury, the 2021 fifth-rounder had recorded 52 tackles and three picks in 10 regular-season contests. Once Hufanga is fully recovered, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the 49ers' starting strong safety.

Talanoa Hufanga : Expected back during training camp
Hufanga (knee) is expected to return to the mix "sometime in training camp," according to coach Kyle Shanahan, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Hufanga tore his ACL during Week 11 action last season, so look for the safety to work his way back gradually once he resumes on-field activities. Prior to sustaining his injury, the 2021 fifth-rounder had recorded 52 tackles and three picks in 10 regular-season contests. Once Hufanga is fully recovered, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the 49ers' starting strong safety.
Dre Greenlaw : Wants to be ready for Week 1
Greenlaw (Achilles) is shooting to be ready for the start of the season, according to GM John Lynch, but he may need to start the season on the PUP list, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Greenlaw had surgery days after the Super Bowl to repair a torn left Achilles tendon he suffered during the game. How likely it is the Arkansas product will be ready Week 1 likely won't be known until the team arrives for training camp in late July.
Charvarius Ward : Will be ready for camp
Ward (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery in February, but he should be ready for training camp according to GM John Lynch, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Ward had previously announced the surgery via his Instagram in February, but details of what the procedure was for and recovery time were absent. His ability to be ready to take the field for camp should have him suiting up Week 1 in 2024, assuming the 27-year-old doesn't suffer any setbacks in his recovery.
Brandon Aiyuk : Team denies trade rumors
GM John Lynch said Monday that the 49ers have not engaged in trade discussions regarding Aiyuk and that both sides continue to have active talks about a contract extension, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Lynch also noted that San Francisco would be amicable to Aiyuk simply playing out the 2024 season on his fifth-year option, an outcome that would position the young wideout to hit free agency next offseason. The 2020 first-round pick recorded a 75-1,342-7 receiving line across 16 regular-season games last year, and while his skills certainly are central to the 49ers offense and Brock Purdy's continued success, the team is tight against the cap with a star-studded list of skill-position players that also includes WR Deebo Samuel, RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle (groin). Trade rumors may continue to surround Aiyuk this offseason even after Lynch's denial, but considering San Francisco's status as a win-now roster and high-end contender in the NFC, the team likely places extreme value on the 26-year-old wideout's continued presence, even if only for the short term.
George Kittle : Recovering from core muscle surgery
GM John Lynch said Monday that Kittle is recovering from an offseason procedure intended to address a core muscle injury, and that the tight end is on track to be fully cleared by training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Kittle also recently restructured his contract, a move that freed up roughly $10 million in cap space for the 49ers, likely by converting a portion of his base salary for 2024 into a bonus. Across 16 regular-season games last year, the two-time All-Pro secured 65 of 90 targets for 1,020 yards and six scores. Recovery from core muscle surgery shouldn't impede Kittle's ability to participate in on-field reps this offseason, though even if he did sit out a portion of training camp, it wouldn't impact the veteran tight end's status as one of the top fantasy options amid a sparse positional landscape.
Joshua Dobbs : Finds work in San Francisco
The 49ers and Dobbs agreed to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. In 13 games (12 starts) between the Cardinals and Vikings this past season, Dobbs completed 262 of 417 (62.8 percent) of his passes for 2,464 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also was viable as a runner, averaging 5.5 yards on his 77 carries while scoring six TDs on the ground. Brock Purdy is the unquestioned starting quarterback for San Francisco, but Dobbs' recent on-field work should give him a leg up on the backup job ahead of holdover Brandon Allen.
Ezekiel Turner : Staying in NFC West
Turner signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Turner spent his first six professional seasons with Arizona, and he'll stay in the division with his move to San Francisco. The 27-year-old has primarily been a special-teamer throughout his career, and he logged just 47 defensive snaps to 344 special-teams snaps last season. Turner figures to fill a similar role with the 49ers in the upcoming campaign.
Chris Conley : Returns to San Francisco
The 49ers re-signed Conley on a one-year deal Saturday. The veteran wideout will remain in San Francisco after spending last season with the 49ers. Conley saw minimal offensive work in 2023, playing just 110 offensive snaps and recording 69 receiving yards on three receptions. Given that he appeared in only eight games last year, Conley will likely be competing for another depth role in San Francisco's wide receiver room as the offseason progresses.
