The San Francisco 49ers on Sunday held their second practice of training camp. As will be the case for all practices, fans are not allowed to attend and the limited media in attendance must observe social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic. That means keeping six feet away from players and staff and wearing face coverings at all times.

No face-to-face interviews are allowed as player and staff availability is done over video conference.

The 49ers have two more practices left before players are given a day off on Wednesday. Monday's session will be the first padded practice.

Below are some of Sunday's practice notes from various media sources.




Wide receiver Jalen Hurd "appeared to" injure his foot, falling awkwardly while working on a side field with a strength coach. He was down for a few minutes and then walked gingerly to the locker room, roughly an hour into practice. "Injury doesn't seem serious, but something to monitor," notes Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated. (SI, Sacramento Bee, The Athletic)

Hurd is being eased back onto the practice field after missing all of last season with a back injury and hasn't taken part in team drills.

Defensive end Nick Bosa looked as good as always, earning a would-be sack of Garoppolo and making an impression on running back Raheem Mostert. He even got the upper hand during 1-on-1s against veteran tackle Trent Williams. Williams responded well, though.


And here is an update on rookie defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw going against veteran guard Laken Tomlinson.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk

By David Bonilla
Apr 16

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

According to Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein, who writes for "All Steelers" on the network, there's a level of confidence within the Pittsburgh Steelers organization that they can strike a deal for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk—and at a bargain rate. "According to a team source, the Steelers and 49ers trade talks are real," Strackbein wrote. "While nothing is imminent, they 'would be surprised if it didn't happen.' But it all comes down to compensation, and Pittsburgh isn't willing to budge much on price." While it seems unlikely that the 49ers would part ways with Aiyuk for anything less than a first-round draft

Why one analyst is worried for Brock Purdy if 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk

By David Bonilla
Apr 18

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy achieved a remarkable feat in 2023, setting a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. This accomplishment is noteworthy, considering the illustrious quarterbacks who have graced the organization's history. A significant portion of those yards came from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who amassed a career-high and team-leading 1,342 receiving yards. Most of his 75 catches originated from passes thrown by Purdy. Amidst significant offseason chatter surrounding the 49ers' star receiver, including several unsubstantiated trade rumors, Aiyuk's future remains uncertain. Former NFL player James Jones, now an analyst, expressed concern for Purdy should Aiyuk's tenure in the Bay Area come to an end. "I
