LB Aaron Lynch was the latest player to suffer an ankle injury. He left Monday's practice and was unavailable on Tuesday. However, multiple reports have stated that the injury is not believed to be long-term. "He's day-to-day with an ankle injury," said Joe Fann of
49ers.com.
DL DeForest Buckner continues to be unavailable for practice as he recovers from a low-ankle sprain suffered in Friday's exhibition game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Other players who did not participate in Tuesday's practice were
DL Ronald Blair (groin),
WR Aaron Burbridge (hamstring),
LB Jayson DiManche (hamstring),
OL Joshua Garnett (knee),
LB Donavin Newsom (concussion), and
S Jimmie Ward (hamstring-PUP).
LB Brock Coyle (rib),
CB Dontae Johnson (concussion), and
TE George Kittle (hamstring) were limited.
Below are some quick notes from Tuesday's practice, which was the 49ers' 13th of training camp.

T Joe Staley was given a veteran's day off.
Tuesday's practice has been described as "uneventful," which is not necessarily a bad thing. Players did not wear pads and there were no known injuries coming out of the practice.
"
[WR] DeAndre Smelter made the best catch of the day," reports Matt Maiocco of
NBC Sports Bay Area. "A really nice grab on a high throw from
[QB] C.J. Beathard."
DB Vinnie Sunseri hauled in an interception off of
QB Matt Barkley's second pass attempt during team drills.
Beathard had a touchdown pass to
WR Trent Taylor while Barkley had his own to
TE Cole Hikutini.
WR Louis Murphy has been easing into the team, being signed on July 31. He had back-to-back catches during a hurry-up drill.
S Eric Reid and
LB Pita Taumoepenu each had two sacks.
LB Ahmad Brooks,
DL Tank Carradine, and
LB NaVorro Bowman also each had a sack.
The Denver Broncos fly in on Tuesday night and will participate in joint practices with the 49ers on Wednesday and Thursday. That Thursday session will be the 49ers' final practice of training camp.

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.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
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. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
