NFL:
Organized Team Activities resume this week.
The 49ers have had a lot of turnover on the defensive line. Reports say End Nick Bosa is helping show the new guys the process. The former Defensive player of the year has also said last season was not up to his playing standard and he wants to focus better this season. Due to COVID, injury, and a contract hold-out Bosa hasn’t been at many OTAs the past few years.
The Seahawks are slowly installing new defensive schemes according to head coach Mike Macdonald, who also praised cornerback Riq Woolen who appears to be fully recovered from last season’s surgery and other assorted injuries. Quarterback Sam Howell is solidifying his spot as backup to Geno Smith.
