On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers held their first full practice following Friday night's 27-17 exhibition win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The team came away from the game a little banged up with the most significant injury being to DL DeForest Buckner, who is unlikely to practice this week or play in Saturday's home game against the Denver Broncos. Buckner aggravated a low-ankle sprain in Kansas City.
Others who did not practice on Monday are DL Ronald Blair (groin), WR Aaron Burbridge (hamstring), LB Jayson DiManche (hamstring), OL Joshua Garnett (knee), and LB Donavin Newsom (concussion). LB Brock Coyle (rib), CB Dontae Johnson (concussion), and TE
George Kittle (hamstring) were limited.
S Jimmie Ward (hamstring) remains on the team's physically-unable-to-perform list. He has not yet taken part in training camp practices. S Chanceller James, who suffered a season-ending knee injury, was waived prior to practice.
Below are some quick notes from Monday's practice, which was the 49ers' 12th of training camp.
A pair of legendary 49ers were on hand for Monday's practice. Former wide receiver Jerry Rice and quarterback Steve Young were in attendance. They spoke to the team about the franchise's history and culture and then decide to stick around for practice. While Young played the part of a spectator, Rice caught some passes from 49ers quarterbacks and ran with the wide receivers during warmups.

There were no one-on-one drills during practice and players did not wear pads during the Monday session.
LB Aaron Lynch left practice after suffering what appeared to be a right ankle injury. He slowly walked off of the practice field and went to the locker room. Lynch had two sacks during Friday's win against the Chiefs.
DT Earl Mitchell also left practice due to an injury.
CB Dontae Johnson returned to practice in a blue no-contact jersey. He spent last week on the concussion protocol.
There were four consecutive touchdown passes between QB Brian Hoyer and QB Matt Barkley during red-zone drills. TE Garrett Celek, TE Blake Bell, WR Pierre Garçon, and WR Kendrick Bourne each came away with a touchdown reception on those passes.
Rookie CB Adrian Colbert had two interceptions during practice. He started training camp as a cornerback but has received some work at free safety due to injuries. S Lorenzo Jerome also came away with an interception, his third of training camp, against QB C.J. Beathard while playing at free safety. S Jaquiski Tartt played with the second-team defense.
Beathard had a touchdown pass to RB Raheem Mostert.
"Rookie receiver Victor Bolden made a diving catch 50 yards down the field on a Barkley throw against the coverage of cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon and Vinnie Sunseri," notes Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
"Victor Bolden Jr. provided the offensive highlight of the day with a diving catch deep downfield on a throw from Matt Barkley," wrote Joe Fann of 49ers.com.
DE Elvis Dumervil and DE Arik Armstead each had a sack.

Brock Purdy hopes to organize throwing session ahead of 49ers training camp
The San Francisco 49ers will hold a mandatory minicamp from June 4 through 6, officially concluding the team's offseason program. After that, the Niners will break for over a month and return to the Santa Clara facilities for training camp in late July.
Between that time, starting quarterbacks will often organize throwing sessions with their receivers in an effort to build chemistry ahead of the rigors of training camp. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been unable to participate in such sessions over the last two years. The last overall draft pick in 2022, Purdy had yet to make a name for himself during his first offseason. Last year, he was still recovering from offseason surgery on his throwing arm.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
John Lynch wants Brandon Aiyuk to remain with 49ers for rest of career
Rumors have swirled regarding the situation between the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is entering his fifth NFL season and is slated to earn $14.124 million on a team-executed fifth-year option. Despite the 49ers publicly declaring a desire to sign Aiyuk to a contract extension, keeping him on the roster for the foreseeable future, many rumors have focused on potential trade interest.
On Monday, general manager John Lynch held his annual pre-draft press conference, addressing the Aiyuk situation without revealing any information on the conversations that have taken place behind closed doors. Once again, he emphasized that the 49ers want Aiyuk to remain with the team for the remainder of his career.

"Thank God for Mr. Irrelevant": John Lynch reflects on 49ers drafting Trey Lance
The decision to trade up in the 2021 NFL Draft and select quarterback Trey Lance could have had significant consequences for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan. With the team lacking first-round picks in the last two drafts due to this move, and Lance no longer on the roster after being traded to the Dallas Cowboys before last season, it's clear the gamble didn't unfold as expected.
Lynch held his annual pre-draft press conference on Monday, reflecting on the decision to take such a big chance on Lance. While such a bold move might have jeopardized jobs elsewhere, Lynch and Shanahan were blessed with some good fortune in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Acknowledging the support of the team's ownership, Lynch stated, "They believe in Kyle and I, and our
