In a season of transition, the 49ers may need a lot of contributions from their rookie classes season.

In their first five draft picks, the 49ers came away with five defensive players.

There's little question that the 49ers are expecting many of those young players to step up early in their careers. Jennifer Lee Chan and I will discuss how the rookies are coming along at every level of the 49ers defense

as the team enters week to a training camp. Jennifer will check in with one of those rookies who's trying to earn a significant role in the team.

Who is having good camps? Who are struggling? And where are the 49ers

experiencing some injury concerns before they even play their first game of the preseason?

Jennifer Lee Chan and I will have all that and much more on this episode of 49ers talk

coming at you right now. Welcome to another episode of 49ers talk on NBC Sports Bay Area.com.

like the vibes are better, but man, it's just, I don't know, it's kind of uneven, I think, with the

injuries and stuff, and I don't know how many of these are serious injuries, but in the last two days,

though, I was very relieved to see that the weather

as least is getting hotter that's why training camp should be it should be hot it should be scorching

really absolutely come on we should all be getting sunburned and have farmer tan from being at a

training camp we should be wearing sunblock well we are yeah but but it's not like you know. I mean, that's what I year for. Or the rest of the country for that matter. I yearn for, I don't like the humidity that in other parts of the country, but I like that 110 degree weather. And it's not bad in Santa Clara, but at least now there's like enough hot weather to like work up a sweat i'm okay with it being cooler actually

but anyways um fortinators start their third block of practices on Thursday and yeah there are some

injury concerns right diomeda lenore is dealing with a hip injury they're going to reevaluate him
