It was Halloween night, 2022 at the #49ers team Halloween party. It's the last time QB Brock Purdy's teammates ever doubted him. Outside doubt still abounds but Purdy is unfazed, handling it all with the right mix of humility and bravado. Here's how... espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
Notes and observations from #49ers practice No. 2: - No pads, per league rules and picture perfect weather for a session lasting roughly 90 minutes. - With WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) not participating Thursday, the Niners signed another veteran WR in Quintez Cephus. They…
Williams said he and MWilliams spent time together in Cabo in the offseason. The rookie asked Trent if he could use his plane to go but it turned out they'd be there at the same time. Williams said teammates asking that is "probably one of the most frequently asked questions."
#49ers LT Trent Williams has high hopes for rookie DE Mykel Williams. "Mykel is a huge dude," Williams said. "You generally don't see guys that size on the edge. So I mean it sucks having to base block a guy with arms as long as your legs, but I think he has a chance to be a…

#49ers off the practice field on Wednesday. Everyone but WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) was present and accounted for. Longer session than yesterday, sharp day for QB Brock Purdy and the offense. More to come later.
Niners released RB Israel Abanikanda to make room for Cephus.
#49ers added WR Quintez Cephus to the roster. He’s wearing No. 6. Jacob Cowing dealing with hamstring injury right now.

Notes and observations from #49ers practice No. 1: - The Niners won't be in pads until Monday and this was the first practice, so not as much to take here as other sessions will provide. - First and foremost, the new field layout is a bit jarring. Where fields used to run…
#49ers DE Nick Bosa on the team’s kicking competition: “I actually am paying attention… it’s kind of exciting.” Jake Moody and Greg Joseph both connected on all four of their respective attempts today.
#49ers WR Jacob Cowing pulled a hamstring today in practice, per Kyle Shanahan. He called it a little setback after a strong spring for Cowing. Uncertain how much time it will cost him.
#49ers just wrapped up quick first practice of training camp, going for roughly 75 minutes. Whole roster not on PUP/IR/NFI was present and accounted for. Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey did all individual work but nothing in team.
As team expected, #49ers WR Jauan Jennings is on field and participating in early parts of team’s first training camp practice.
#49ers on the practice field for first time in this camp later this morning. A reminder: they have to practice three days on and one day off but must complete four practices before they can go full pads. So, first day of pads would be set for Monday.
I will, of course, being doing daily #49ers training camp practice recaps here like usual. But will also have nuggets on this page throughout camp as well if you'd like to bookmark and check it out over the next month-plus... espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
Story from today: #49ers are optimistic WR Jauan Jennings is ready to go and Kyle Shanahan says he hasn't requested a trade (as of yet). On Jennings and the other wide receiver machinations at play... espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
It's a quad injury for Bartch, Lynch said.
#49ers OL Ben Bartch injured himself working out away from the facility. He is expected to be cleared soon, according to John Lynch.
#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan says WR Jauan Jennings has not formally requested a trade. Again, team expects him on the field and participating on Wednesday.
#49ers RB Christian McCaffrey and OT Trent Williams are both "here and healthy" according to Kyle Shanahan. Their work loads will be managed through camp but they're ready to go.
