Cap casualty? Well-compensated Rogers focused on performance

He’s a handsomely compensated 32-year-old cornerback whose performance dipped a bit in 2012 after a Pro Bowl season. Of course, those are ingredients that often produce an NFL salary cap casualty.

Versatile Daniels is doing ‘a little of everything’

He's a quarterback, but B.J. Daniels also fielded punts during the offseason program. Will versatility give him an edge to gain a roster spot?

Kaepernick ‘not really over’ Super Bowl loss

One of the most important plays of the 49ers' 34-31 Super Bowl loss to the Ravens never actually happened. But it won't soon be forgotten.

Rookie TE McDonald eager to block in camp

Vance McDonald has heard his coaches loud and clear the past two days, which happen to be the first two practices he’s been in pads and allowed to truly contact defenders. “They’ve tried to teach me to use arm and hand techniques, and I’m like, ‘Coach, I just want to run through them.’ ” McDonald [...]

49ers’ Lattimore feeling knee improve every day

Reid adjusts to speed of the game

SANTA CLARA -- In the three previous seasons, four safeties have been selected in the first round of the NFL draft. All four started all 16 games for their teams.

49ers position-by-position breakdown: Specialists

LaMichael James will be the 49ers' deep man on kickoff returns, but it's unclear whether he will be trusted to handle punts as well.

49ers will place Crabtree on PUP list

The date of Michael Crabtree’s return remains uncertain, but his injury designation is no longer a mystery.

Reid has nose for contact as camp revs up

Safety Eric Reid gladly welcomed his first practice in pads with the 49ers on Monday, even if it resulted in a small cut across the bridge of his nose. “That’s my favorite thing about football,” Reid, this year’s first-round draft pick, said of contact drills. His facemask slid down during a drill, opening up a [...]

Harbaugh on Eric Wright, Ahmad Brooks, Aquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree and Kaep’s cap

SANTA CLARA – Jim Harbaugh spoke to Bay Area reporters Monday afternoon. Here’s what he said.

Q: What happened with Eric Wright?

HARBAUGH: He did not pass his physical.

Q: Why didn’t he?

HARBAUGH: We don’t ever talk about that. He’s not on the team.

Q: Were you aware of his DUI before you made the trade for him?

HARBAUGH: The better guy to talk to is Trent. He’s got a clearer understanding of the specific transaction. (Baalke was not available for comment)

Q: You had some pretty strong words about the Seahawks and suspensions…

HARBAUGH: I don’t agree with that, the way you characterized.

Q: You did say you wanted your players to be above reproach.

HARBAUGH: That hasn’t changed.

Q: Do you think everyone on your roster qualifies for that right now?

HARBAUGH: I think our guys do a great job of playing within the rules, yes. As a coach, you anticipate and deal with things as they occur. Anticipate and resolve.

Q: Do you plan any discipline for Ahmad Brooks?

HARBAUGH: Not to discuss out here. We’ve had conversations, but nothing I want to talk about here.

Q: Are you generally disappointed in the situation?

HARBAUGH: It’s not the time to talk about it.

Q: Have the 49ers done all they’re going to do on the matter?

HARBAUGH: I’m not going to publically discuss what our conversations have been with Ahmad or any of our players.

Q: When he signed his contract, he talked about how he had turned his life around. Does the incident change your view of where he is in his life?

HARBAUGH: Again, not going to discuss it.

Q: Is he out here with some of the other vets participating in the early portions of this camp?

HARBAUGH: No, he’s not been out here for this particular camp, no.

Q: Any issue with Kaepernick wearing a Miami Dolphins hat?

HARBAUGH: I know Kaep and I know where his allegiances lie. They lie with us. I’ll chalk that up to a slow time in the media cycle.

Q: Are you considering bringing in another WR?

HARBAUGH: We’ve said from the beginning the spot is open for the young guys. They’ve competed. That rages on. I feel like they’re making a lot of progress. I feel good about where that stands right now.

Q: Do you expect Kyle Williams to start practicing soon?

HARBAUGH: I don’t want to comment.

Q: Are you optimistic?

HARBAUGH: Very optimistic, but not making any predictions?

Q: What’s your impression of Boldin? Can he make up for Crabtree’s production?

HARBAUGH: He’s got the license and the ability to do that. Everything we’ve seen has been A+, what he’s done in his career and the time he’s been with us. He’s very serious about winning, very serious about football. I admire that about him. He’s not always the friendliest guy to sit down next to in a meeting or at lunch and have a conversation with unless it’s about football. He doesn’t want any distractions. I think it’s a good thing for all of us. I’ve been impressed by it. He’s not a small talker. I respect that.

Q: Who will start opposite Boldin?

HARBAUGH: The three guys that we mentioned (A.J. Jenkins, Ricardo Lockette and Quinton Patton), also Marlon Moore has been doing an outstanding job. Rather than get focused on the depth chart, we’ll play this into camp and give the competition the importance it deserves?

Q: Will Crabtree go on PUP or IR to start the season?

HARBAUGH: PUP.

Q: Where is he in his rehab? Is he still on track to get back at some point this season?

HARBAUGH: Talking to the doctor and to Michael, they feel very good about where he is right now. I wouldn’t categorize it as ahead of schedule because he’s just starting now to move on it. But it looks great, that’s the word from the doctor. I’m optimistic there. Michael did a tremendous job post-surgery, stayed in town, did not leave, did not travel. He did everything that he was being asked to do. They say it looks great.

Report: CB Wright fails physical with 49ers, voiding trade

The Eric Wright era with the 49ers is over. If it ever began.

49ers position-by-position breakdown: Safeties

The departure of Dashon Goldson left a gaping hole in the 49ers secondary, but who will earn the starting job in his place?

49ers position-by-position breakdown: Cornerbacks

Could Nnamdi Asomugha find himself in a starting role with the 49ers, or will he find himself out of a job? Competition should be fierce.

49ers position-by-position breakdown: Inside linebackers

Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman are one of the league's best tandems, but the competition is wide open for a backup at inside linebacker.

49ers position-by-position breakdown: Outside linebackers

Aldon Smith finished just shy of 20 sacks, mostly likely due to his own injury coupled with Justin Smith's. What will a healthy Aldon do next?

49ers place Manningham, Hunter, Williams and Fleming on the PUP list

The 49ers just announced they’ve placed Mario Manningham, Kendall Hunter, Kyle Williams and Darius Flemming on the Phyisically Unable to Perform list, and Tank Carradine, Quinton Dial, Luke Marquardt and Marcus Lattimore on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.

Manningham potentially could miss all of training camp and start the regular season on the PUP list, meaning he would miss the first six games.

The 49ers potentially could activate Williams and Hunter before the final cuts. Still, there’s a chance those two players will miss most of training camp and most of the pre season.

With Williams and Hunter on the shelf for now, do you expect LaMichael James to win the No.2 running back job this season, and Quinton Patton or A.J. Jenkins or someone else to win the No.2 wide receiver job?

How do you see this playing out?

Rose was signed as [...]

Goodell will review Brooks’ case; is he waiting for 49ers to act first?

Staring linebacker Ahmad Brooks won’t be charged with an alleged June 8 assault on teammate Lamar Divens, as announced Wednesday by Santa Clara County’s district attorney office.

Meet the Rookies: 49ers LB Corey Lemonier

Picking Corey Lemonier in the 2013 NFL Draft was the easy part for the 49ers. The hard part? Pronouncing his name.

Darryl Morris – Could he be the 49ers’ rookie free-agent sleeper?

The chances that a rookie free agent penetrates the 49ers’ talent-laden roster at the end of training camp is remote. However, like defensive end Demarcus Dobbs and nose guard Ian Williams proved in 2011, and tight end Garrett Celek proved last year, it’s not impossible. One player to track when training camp is Texas State [...]

NaVorro Bowman doesn’t like Kap’s Dolphins hat

Count 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman as one who isn't too thrilled with his quarterback's recent hat choice.

The 49ers remain interested in former Colt Austin Collie, but they are unlikely to make a move on the free-agent wide receiver until after training camp begins, a source…

49ers sign UC Davis punter; cut long snapper

The former UC Davis standout will give Lee, a three-time All-Pro, some relief during training camp after he broke his own school record by averaging 44.5 yards per punt last year. Schmidt could also give placekicker Phil Dawson, 38, a breather this summer: He handled kickoff duties in college and had 34 touchbacks in 2012. Schmidt’s signing was first reported by the Baltimore Sun.
