Day 1 of minicamp kicked off on Tuesday and the 49ers were missing a few key pieces. Joe Staley and Mike McGlinchey both missed the 1st day while dealing with their injuries. The veteran Staley is dealing with a pec strain and the 2nd year player McGlinchey is dealing with a knee problem. Joining them are the 1st picks of this year’s draft, Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel. Bosa has been out since he hurt his hamstring in OTAs. Samuel is dealing with a hip issue that also kept him out the last week of OTAs.
Kicker Robbie Gould is another player missing minicamp, but for different reasons. The 49ers franchise tagged him in the offseason and he has yet to sign it. He requested a trade request, but the team has made it clear that they have no plans to trade him. Kyle Shanahan does not seem too worried about his absence and just wants him to be available on Week 1.
Marquise Goodwin was a full participant in minicamp and if it were up to him, he would be a full participant in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He last participated in the Olympics back in 2012 at the London games as a long jumper. The Olympic trials take place at the end of June. That is free time for the team before they reconvene for training camp. It will be interesting to hear what the 49ers have to say regarding his competing.
