Nick Bosa’s unresolved contract situation isn’t the only uncertainty surrounding the 49ers’ defensive line. After the departures of Samson Ebukam and Charles Omenihu this past offseason, there is now a vacancy to be filled at the starting defensive end spot opposite of Bosa.
As training camp kicks off, the two most likely candidates are Drake Jackson and free agent signing Clelin Ferrell. After the first day of practice, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan shed some light on what that competition for that starting spot might look like over the next few weeks.
“They looked good,” said Shanahan after Wednesday’s practice.
