While attempting a long pass for wide receiver A.J. Jenkins in the second quarter, McCoy appeared to take a hit on his arm. The quarterback left the game and was replaced by Scott Tolzien.The extent of the injury to McCoy wasn't immediately announced, but it apparently isn't serious – a stroke of good luck for the 49ers, who sought out the veteran for insurance because of the departure of Alex Smith. McCoy remained in full uniform for the remainder of the game, standing along the sideline. Later, it was described as a "shoulder stinger."Two other 49ers also were hurt. Rookie linebacker Nick Moody had to be helped off the field after an injury, to a knee, and veteran safety Raymond Ventrone suffered a hamstring injury and left the game.

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk.

While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
