49ers Bolster Roster with Veteran Signings Amid Injury Struggles

The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for the 2025 NFL season with a focus on health, depth, and youth amid significant roster changes. Trent Williams remains a key figure for the team, with his dominant play underscored by former opponents who find him exceptionally challenging to face. Training camp has revealed quiet performances from several players like Yetur Gross-Matos and others, raising questions about their roles and readiness, especially in the pass rush and secondary. The 49ers have bolstered their running back group by signing veterans such as Ameer Abdullah and considering others like Jeff Wilson and D’Ernest Johnson, aiming to support star Christian McCaffrey. Meanwhile, the team’s youth movement is evident, with the departure of veterans like Charvarius Ward and Dre Greenlaw, who have expressed mixed feelings about their exits but acknowledge the team's direction to prioritize younger talent. Overall, the 49ers are attempting to balance rebuilding with competitive aspirations as they seek a healthier, more dynamic roster to improve on last season’s injury-plagued campaign.
