Getting closer......
The NFL formally announced official training camp start dates on Tuesday. We knew the 49ers veterans were set to report on Saturday, July 30, but now we know rookies will report the same day.
The NFL CBA includes a rule stating that non-QB or injured veterans have to wait until no earlier than 15 days before the team’s first preseason game to report to camp. However, quarterbacks, injured players (those who were rehabbing the entire offseason workout program), and rookies can be brought in earlier. Half of NFL teams will have their rookies in a few days early, while the other half will have rookies reporting the same day as veterans.
