The San Francisco 49ers are deep into training camp, preparing for their joint practice session with the Denver Broncos. Days 10 and 11 saw a flurry of roster moves, some returning players, and standout performances as the team builds momentum.
Roster Shuffle: New Faces and Departures
The 49ers have been actively shaping their roster. WR Robbie Chosen joined the team, while WR Marquez Callaway was released. A wave of signings followed, including DL Bradlee Anae, DL Bruce Hector, S Jaylen Mahoney, CB Fabian Moreau, and OL Isaiah Prince, all on one-year deals. Correspondingly, CB Tre Avery, WR Isaiah Neyor, QB Tanner Mordecai, TE Mason Pline, and K Greg Joseph were waived or released. WR Equanimeous St. Brown rejoined the team, and WR Andy Isabella was released.
Injury Report: Who's Sidelined?
Several players were held out due to injury or scheduled rest. The list includes CB Renardo Green (hamstring), WR Jauan Jennings (calf), WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring), S Ji'Ayir Brown (ankle), RB Isaac Guerendo (shoulder), FB Kyle Juszczyk (heel), DL Evan Anderson (knee), DL Kevin Givens (pectoral), DL Sam Okuayinonu (groin), and DL Nick Bosa (rest/soreness). RB Jordan James (knee) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (hip) made limited returns on Monday and increased their activity on Tuesday. Veterans RB Christian McCaffrey and T Trent Williams received a rest day on Monday.
Key Performances and Matchups
QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle continue to build their rapport. However, LB Fred Warner provided a highlight, blanketing Kittle in coverage and forcing an incompletion. Purdy connected with WR Demarcus Robinson and RB Patrick Taylor Jr. for would-be touchdowns during team drills.
The 49ers are looking to solidify their roster and build chemistry as they approach the preseason. The joint practice with the Broncos will be a crucial test.
