1. Colin Kaepernick
@chrisbiderman Harbaugh said he expects Kaepernick to play "a couple of drives at the most" in Thursday's opener
2. Carlos Hyde
@mattmaiocco Running back Carlos Hyde was back returning kickoffs. He struggled a couple of days ago, and he had difficulty fielding the ball on Monday, too. He misjudged one kickoff and the ball tore his fingernail. He sat out a short time but returned to finish practice
@taylorprice49 Rookie running back Carlos Hyde nicked a fingernail during a kick return drill, but the second-round pick later returned to practice.
@mattbarrows Hyde was back on the field as if nothing had happened. It seems he cut his finger but did not, Jim Harbaugh said, lose a fingernail. "A little bloody around the edges," he said.
@grantcohn Early in practice he took a carry that was designed to go off right tackle. Hyde spotted a hole back on the left side of the line and cut back. It was a jump cut, something you usually see from smaller, quicker backs. "Nice cut, Carlos!" Harbaugh yelled.
3. Quinton Patton
@taylorprice49 Offensive Play of the Day Pick any of Quinton Patton's dozen or so catches. The second-year receiver continued to "stack" another good practice on top of his previous efforts, according to Harbaugh. Patton caught 10-or-more passes with Michael Crabtree and Brandon Lloyd out of action with minor leg injuries. On one occasion, Patton ran a deep crossing route and made a tremendous grab on a pass that was thrown slightly behind his body.The highlight of Patton's day was seeing the young receiver run every ball into the end zone. It didn't matter if it was from 20 yards out or from 60-plus yards out, Patton was running the ball into the end zone. Patton said he picked up the tip from Anquan Boldin. But you know who did that first? 49ers fans know the answer.It was Jerry Rice. The G.O.A.T.
@grantcohn Made eight catches during team drills. No one caught as many passes as Patton, the 49ers' leading receiver in camp
4. Marcus Martin
@taylorprice49 Rookie center Marcus Martin saw action with the second-team during 11-on-11 work
5. Dillon Farrell
@taylorprice49 Undrafted rookie Dillon Farrell played saw action at center and at right tackle.
6. Jonathan Martin
@chrisbiderman Tackle Jonathan Martin got time at left tackle Monday for the first time this camp. Joe Staley did not appear injured. It was likely just an opportunity for Martin to get some reps there given the likelihood Staley will play just a series or two.
7. Lawrence Okoye
@mattmaiocco Gabbert had to leave the pocket due to pressure from defensive end Lawrence Okoye against left tackle Carter Bykowski. Gabbert rolled to his right and hit tight end Derek Carrier for about a 20 yard touchdown against C.J. Spillman.
8. Aldon Smith
@grantcohn Toyed with second-team left tackle Carter Bykowski. Sometimes Smith would bulrush Bykowski into the quarterback. Easy. And when Bykowski braced for that, Smith slapped his hands out of the way and ran around him. It looked like Smith didn't even have to try.
9. Ahmad Brooks
@mattmaiocco Outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks took an outside rush around right tackle Dillon Farrell to strip quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson of the ball
@taylorprice49 Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks had a field day rushing against the second-team offensive line. Brooks beat Farrell on one occasion and stripped quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson.
@grantcohn Smacked the ball out of McLeod Bethel-Thompson's hands when he was standing in the pocket, and then Brooks tagged Bethel-Thompson for a sack on the very next play.
10. Patrick Willis
@grantcohn Patrick Willis planted Jewel Hampton on a run up the middle.
11. Michael Wilhoite
@mattbarrows Michael Wilhoite continues to work with the first-team defense and has been solid.
12. Nick Moody
@grantcohn Played his best practice of camp. Knocked away two passes (one was in the end zone), and he sacked Josh Johnson once on a blitz up the middle.
13. Chris Borland
@mattmaiocco Chris Borland made a nice read and reacted by breaking up a pass to Stevie Johnson.
@mattmaiocco Gabbert tried to find Carrier. Craig Dahl and Spillman tipped the ball, and Borland made the interception off the deflections
@mattbarrows Chris Borland nearly came up with a pick-six scenario when he read Bethel-Thompson's eyes on a shallow crossing route. Borland made a nice break on the ball but could not come up with the snag.
@grantcohn Tipped one pass and intercepted one that Craig Dahl tipped. Borland seems to get his hands on the ball at least once during every practice.
14. Shayne Skov
@mattmaiocco Shayne Skov got turned around in coverage and fell, as Chuck Jacobs caught a pass on a crossing route behind him
@mattbarrows Shayne Skov has been consistently good, especially in the last week.
15. Chris Culliver
@taylorprice49 Chris Culliver did not participate in practice. Jim Harbaugh said Culliver was working through a minor injury.
16. Perrish Cox
@chrisbiderman Cox intercepted Colin Kaepernick for the third time this training camp - he did so twice in one practice last week - on a fade route to Reed in the back right corner of the end zone. Cox had position and made a diving play in the area of the field that's ended the 49ers' last two seasons. Surely the play resonated with fans in attendance
@mattmaiocco Cornerback Perrish Cox intercepted a Colin Kaepernick pass intended for David Reed in the end zone. Cox had another interception of a Josh Johnson pass for Wylie.
@taylorprice49 Defensive Play of the Day Cook had a lot of competition in this category. Perrish Cox, the other first-team starting cornerback, narrowly edged out Cook to take home the honor. Cox intercepted Colin Kaepernick in the back right corner of the end zone on a fade pass intended for wide receiver David Reed. Cox out-jumped Reed and maintained possesion as he fell to the ground.
@grantcohn Intercepted Colin Kaepernick in the end zone during a red zone drill. That was the third time Cox has intercepted Kaepernick in camp.
17. Darryl Morris
@mattbarrows Cornerback Darryl Morris had a nice interception on a long sideline throw from Bethel-Thompson to Kassim Osgood.
@grantcohn Intercepted a deep pass intended for Kassim Osgood. Just like Cook, Morris turned his head early which allowed him to play the ball. Morris also broke up a short pass intended for Bruce Ellington when they were lined up in the slot.
18. Chris Cook
@chrisbiderman Cook's two interceptions both came on deep balls down the left sideline. The first was thrown by Josh Johnson looking for Devon Wylie, while the second came from Blaine Gabbert looking Chuck Jacobs. Both came during the same 11-on-11 session.
@mattmaiocco Cornerback Chris Cook, who did not record an interception in four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, picked off two passes on the day. Cook had good coverage against Devon Wylie to make an interception of Josh Johnson along the right sideline. His second interception came on a Blaine Gabbert throw intended for Chuck Jacobs.
@mattbarrows Chris Cook. He used his big body to shield smaller receiver Devon Wylie on a sideline pattern then jumped to intercept Josh Johnson's underthrown pass. The second interception was more impressive – a diving snag on a deep throw in the end zone to receiver Chuck Jacobs from Blaine Gabbert.
@grantcohn His biggest weakness is defending the deep pass and he picked off two of those today. First he picked off a deep pass intended for Devon Wylie (Josh Johnson threw it), and then Cook picked off a deep pass intended for Chuck Jacobs (Blaine Gabbert threw it). Cook played both passes perfectly. Both times he turned his head and found the ball a couple of seconds before he caught it.
19. Eric Reid
@taylorprice49 Eric Reid broke up a pass intended for rookie receiver Bruce Ellington.
20. About The Interceptions
@ninersnation The defense had five interceptions on Monday. That is not necessarily the end of the world for the offense. I would not be surprised if the offense was a little more aggressive in training camp, knowing the repercussions are so much smaller than in a regular season game. Or even in a preseason game for that matter.
