49ers mailbag: Fans curious as ever as camp opens

Training camp’s arrival Thursday puts the 49ers one more step past last season’s 2-14 disaster and one step closer to a promising future. Here is what fans are curious about entering camp, via questions submitted on social media:

Is Armstead’s shoulder 100%? People forget he was star of 2016 TC before injury, then 9ers waited too long for surgery.

Indeed, Arik Armstead looked poised for a breakout season until he aggravated a shoulder injury that eventually required surgery. Again, Armstead could emerge as a defensive star if he can fill the “Leo” pass-rush role.
