49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Returns to practice
Okuayinonu (groin) participated during Tuesday's training camp practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Okuayinonu was forced to sit out for a couple weeks of training camp because of a groin issue, but he now seems to be back in football shape ahead of San Francisco's final preseason contest Saturday versus the Chargers. With regular starter Nick Bosa still limited by neck soreness, Okuayinonu currently projects as a favorite for first-team reps on the edge.

49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Misses practice Monday
Okuayinonu (groin) sat out of practice Monday, Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said the defensive end would likely miss a couple weeks with the injury, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Okuayinonu found his role as a rotational player a year ago, recording 35 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble, and he projects to fill a similar role in 2025.

49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Signs ERFA tender
Okuayinonu signed his one-year exclusive rights tendered contract with the 49ers on Wednesday.
Okuayinonu logged a career year with San Francisco in 2024, suiting up for 16 regular-season games while racking up 35 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble. He'll work to take a step forward in his development this offseason, and to again produce in a rotational role among the 49ers' pass rush.

49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Establishes larger role in 2024
Okuayinonu finished the 2024 regular season with 35 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 16 games.
Okuayinonu signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers in February of 2024 after being without a team for the entire 2023 season. He didn't make the Niners' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he was signed to the active roster in late September following a short stint on the practice squad. Okuayinonu eventually earned his role as a rotational defensive end behind starters Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd, and Okuayinonu was able to show off his pass-rushing ability when he accumulated 3.0 sacks in a six-game stretch between Week 3 and 8. Okuayinonu is an exclusive-rights free agent for 2025, which means he is restricted to signing a contract with the 49ers if they offer one to him. If San Francisco doesn't offer a contract to Okuayinonu, he would convert into an unrestricted free agent and would have the ability to sign with any team interested in his services.
