With pads going on at training camp, the San Francisco 49ers and Robert Saleh have some questions to answer and battles to monitor. Dee Winters has made waves while attempting to lock down the linebacker spot next to Fred Warner. Eli Apple was brought in, following a hamstring injury to second-year starter Renardo Green, which opened the door for rookie Upton Stout to get some run with the starters at nickel. Mykel Williams drew praise from Saleh, who spoke to the media and stated, “Williams is going to be a hell of a football player.”
The secondary is interesting considering the injury to Malik Mustapha and now Green.
