Defensive tackle Alfred Collins will take part, as he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-injuries\/155607\/49ers-injury-updates-nick-bosa-could-return-for-training-camp-alfred-collins-might-need-surgery\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recovered from shoulder surgery<\/a>. Last Saturday, John Lynch anticipated Collins returning in the second window as long as Collins hit the markers he needed to return, which he apparently did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 49ers need Collins to take a second-year jump, especially with Mykel Williams still on the Active\/PUP. Collins is a former top-50 pick. He was a dominant run defender as a rookie. That\u2019ll go a long way for the 49ers, who need to get to passing downs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Still, with Garcen Halton dealing with a bone bruise, the interior pass rush took a hit. The 49ers could use Keion White in that role, but Collins needs to bring something to the table as a pass rusher. That was not a strength as a rookie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">He had a pressure rate under 4% and only batted one pass. If you\u2019re not going to push the pocket, at least get your hand up in a throwing window. We\u2019ll see if Collins can change that in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers are putting the pads on in full for the first time on Friday.
