The San Francisco 49ers have completed their sixth of 11 training camp practices from Santa Clara. The Friday session lasted two hours.

Quick Notes


It was LB Azeez Al-Shaair's and TE Kaden Smith's turns to get the Rookie Hype Machine going. Al-Shaair even ran into the crowd to do so, as seen in the video below by Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. The veterans choose a rookie or rookies before each open practice to pump up the fans in attendance.


"The day I get on that football field, they're definitely going to like what they see," Jason Verrett said in June.

Verrett (Achilles) was cleared for training camp and lined up at right cornerback with the first-team defense on Friday. Then he broke up a Jimmy Garoppolo-thrown pass intended for wide receiver Marquise Goodwin during the second rep of team drills. Verrett is competing with Ahkello Witherspoon (see below), who has had a good camp himself, for the starting cornerback job opposite Richard Sherman.

Garoppolo (yes, the QB — not a typo) caught his first reception of training camp on a designed trick play in the red zone. Wide receiver Dante Pettis threw the pass. The quarterback got within a couple of yards of scoring. While it may make fans' hearts skip a beat, seeing Garoppolo involved in a play like this is a good sign in his recovery from an ACL injury.

"The best news is we haven't had to really manage him at all in terms of we've had no flare-ups, and all that," general manager John Lynch said on KNBR after practice. "We're always mindful of how's he doing but the report every day is good."

The 49ers defense recorded an all-time NFL low two interceptions last season. It had that many during practice on Friday. The defense had only one pick during team drills heading into Friday, per Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee. S Marcell Harris had the first on Friday off a Nick Mullens pass while S Tyree Robinson had another off a tipped C.J. Beathard pass.

Injuries


DT DeForest Buckner (toe) did not practice again after sitting out Thursday's session. He was, however, seen running sprints before practice, so the injury probably isn't too serious.

CB Ahkello Witherspoon left practice during individual drills with a "glute issue." Those were the 49ers' words, not ours.

Still out: Edge Dee Ford (knee tendinitis), G Joshua Garnett (finger), DE Kapron Lewis-Moore (groin), WR Max McCaffrey (undisclosed), RB Jeff Wilson (calf)

PUP: TE Garrett Celek (back, concussion), RB Jerick McKinnon (ACL), C Weston Richburg (knee)

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

By David Bonilla
Mar 26

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

"Obviously good players all around," Garoppolo said, per ESPN. "That's a big part of it. Talking to [head coach] Sean [McVay] on the phone, him just running me through offense and things that he had in mind, it really became appetizing. And I know a lot of the coaches here, so a lot of familiarity in that aspect. And then having played against the Rams a lot in my career, I've seen a lot of good things
