On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers held their final training camp practice at the SAP Performance Facility in Santa Clara, which started at 10:15 a.m. It was not fully padded. The team still has two practices scheduled, but they will take place in Houston with the Texans before the two squads play each other at NRG Stadium on Saturday.

The 49ers released a pre-practice injury report that included 17 players plus one who was receiving the day off to rest. Not on that list was rookie defensive lineman Jullian Taylor, who did not practice due to a stomach illness.

Cornerback Richard Sherman is on his way back from a hamstring injury. He was listed as "limited" on Monday morning but took part in team drills, which was unexpected.


Following practice, head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that the team was in the process of signing former Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys running back Alfred Morris. He will meet the team in Houston on Tuesday and undergo a physical. The 49ers are without Jerick McKinnon, who suffered a calf strain on Sunday, and Matt Breida, who sustained a separated shoulder against the Cowboys last Thursday night.

Below are some notes from Monday's practice.

Quarterbacks


Jimmy Garoppolo threw a few nice touchdown passes during red-zone drills, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN. One was to tight end Cole Hikutini, another on a shovel pass to running back Jeremy McNichols, and a third to wide receiver Trent Taylor in tight coverage.

Garoppolo was unofficially 10-of-15 during team drills, per Chris Biderman of Niners Wire.

Practice ended with Nick Mullens hitting wide receiver Aaron Burbridge for a 40-yard score down the right sideline. Mullens had another long completion to Hikutini.

Garoppolo kept the quarterbacks after practice to work on deep passes.

Running Backs


The 49ers only had three running backs on hand for Monday's practice. They were Jeremy McNichols, Raheem Mostert, and Jeff Wilson.

Joe Williams is on the East Coast for his brother-in-law's funeral and will meet the team in Houston on Tuesday.

Wide Receivers


Taylor had three catches, including the touchdown from Garoppolo.

"Trent Taylor looks more like his old self each and every day," writes Joe Fann of 49ers.com.

Tight Ends


Garrett Celek was the recipient of Garoppolo's longest completion of the day, according to Fann. The offense started to yell "Celek Time" while the ball was in the air.

Offensive Line


Guard Joshua Garnett received a significant amount of reps in practice, but it was with the third-team offense. Erik Magnuson got reps at right guard with the first-team offense while Jonathan Cooper worked with the second-team.

Linebackers


Korey Toomer picked off Mullens during red-zone drills.

Defensive Backs


Safety Adrian Colbert broke up a pass headed toward Pettis in the end zone. Pettis got his hands on it, but Colbert managed to knock it away.

Sherman had good coverage on wide receiver Kendrick Bourne on a red-zone fade during team drills. It is important to note that Sherman didn't receive a full workload during 11-on-11s on Monday. He rotated with defensive back Jimmie Ward.

Sherman got turned around by rookie receiver Dante Pettis during another red-zone play, per Wagoner, but Garoppolo did not see Pettis running open.

Following the first full practice since his hamstring injury, Sherman kept several defensive backs on the field after practice for some extra work.

Other Notes


The 49ers' next practice will be on Wednesday at 7:15 a.m. PT (9:15 a.m. local CT). It will be a joint practice with the Texans at the Houston Methodist Training Center.

49ers Notebook: Crucial offseason for Purdy; O-line confidence; Shanahan on new kickoff rule, Dobbs signing; Hufanga eyes training camp return

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't have to field as many quarterback questions as he did a year ago after Brock Purdy underwent surgery, the arrival of Sam Darnold, and the uncertainty surrounding the future of Trey Lance. The quarterback situation is clearer now than it has been in recent years. For Purdy, this offseason holds significant importance. It marks the first time he can focus on on-field improvement during minicamps, OTAs, and training camp. While he had this opportunity as a rookie in 2022, he was buried on the depth chart, limiting his practice reps. Last year, Purdy was still recovering from surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. He didn't get to throw to his teammates until training camp in

The San Francisco 49ers likely aren't finished fortifying their defense and have reportedly expressed interest in bolstering their defensive backfield. If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand. Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction.
