The San Francisco 49ers hold their second minicamp in three weeks this weekend, but it's not there you should look for something to happen. It's in the weeks that follow.
I'm talking specifically about what the team is going to do with wide receivers J.J. Stokes and Terrell Owens. And look for Stokes' situation to be rectified long before the team tackles Owens.
