The San Francisco 49ers participated in the last of two joint practices with the Denver Broncos at the UCHealth Training Center in Englewood, Colorado. The 49ers will hold a walkthrough on Sunday, which is closed to the media, before the two teams face each other in a preseason game at Mile High Stadium on Monday night.

Quick Notes


RB Raheem Mostert (concussion), RB Matt Breida (shoulder), and DT D.J. Jones (knee) returned to practice.

General manager John Lynch informed reporters before practice that G Mike Person suffered a foot strain on Friday and is day-to-day.

"Person made it through practice, had a little bit of a scare after," head coach Kyle Shanahan said after practice, "but with the x-rays and stuff, going well and he's day-to-day. So, scary at first, but day-to-day. It's a good sign."

While Friday's practice was lively but fight-free, Saturday's practice did have one skirmish. As a result, two Broncos players, TE Bug Howard and WR Brendan Langley, were ejected from practice. No 49ers players were disciplined.

"Looked like 49ers Marcell Harris got floored by cheap push to start rumble," Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group tweeted. "Emmanuel Moseley in vicinity with cadre of others rushing to defense."

"Yeah, they got into a little scuffle over there," Shanahan said. "I actually wasn't on the field, so I didn't see much of it. By the time I got over there, it was pretty much broken up.

"I know a couple guys got sent in. I was told none of our guys threw punches, so when I see the tape, we'll see if they were telling the truth. Hopefully, they were."

Injuries


S Antone Exum is dealing with a knee sprain and is day-to-day.

Did not practice: DE Nick Bosa (ankle sprain), S Antone Exum (knee sprain), Edge Dee Ford (knee tendinitis), G Joshua Garnett (finger), TE George Kittle (calf), LB Elijah Lee (thumb), RB Jerick Mckinnon (knee), G Mike Person (foot), WR Trent Taylor (foot), CB Jason Verrett (ankle sprain), DB Jimmie Ward (collarbone), CB K'Waun Williams (knee)

PUP: TE Garrett Celek (back, concussion), C Weston Richburg (knee)

Chargers are open to trading Joey Bosa, but can the 49ers afford two Bosas?

By Marc Adams

Could the San Francisco 49ers end up with two Bosas on defense? According to Dianna Russini, Senior NFL Insider for The Athletic, "The Chargers are open to trade offers for many veteran players including Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, per sources. There are teams interested but many around the league are willing to wait to see if the Chargers cut them soon." That sounds like, at minimum, an open door. Nick Bosa will be entering his sixth NFL season in 2024. In his NFL career, he's been named AP Defensive Rookie of the Year (2019), AP Defensive Player of the Year (2022), is a four-time Pro Bowler and has also been named All-Pro. But the 49ers have struggled to find someone on the opposite side of Bosa who can consistently get after the quarterback. Since the

The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft. San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round. Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft but will be short a pick next year. The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows: Round 1, Pick 31 Overall Round

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. Ward described White as a "hand in glove
