San Francisco 49ers players had Wednesday off but returned on Thursday for the third padded practice and fifth full practice of training camp.

Defensive tackle D.J. Jones left practice late with a shoulder injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after practice that the defender was being looked at and didn't have an update at the time. Rookie Javon Kinlaw replaced him during practice.

Shanahan said wide receiver Richie James Jr. (hand), center Weston Richburg (patellar tendon), and defensive lineman Jullian Taylor (ACL) aren't expected to be ready by the start of the season. James could land on the non-football-injury (NFI) list while the latter two could end up on the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list.
Shanahan remains hopeful that defensive lineman Ronald Blair (ACL) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) could be ready for Week 1.

Cornerback K'Waun Williams (calf) is week-to-week and Shanahan doesn't expect him back for a couple of weeks, at the earliest.

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



Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo practiced without his brace over his left knee. He wore it all of last season but didn't do so during training camp walk-throughs. Garoppolo started wearing the brace on Saturday as the team began full practices and did so through Tuesday. (The Athletic)


Defensive lineman Arik Armstead was suited up but did not take part in one-on-ones or team drills, as Shanahan had hoped. He has missed the 49ers' five practices due to some back stiffness. (ESPN)

Cornerback K'Waun Williams (calf), center Ben Garland (ankle), and tight end Jordan Reed did not practice. Reed, however, was seen sprinting on a side field. He missed all of last season due to the symptoms of a concussion. (The Athletic)

General manager John Lynch told The Athletic that Garland could miss "a couple of weeks" due to an ankle sprain.

Trent Williams is proving that missing all of last season won't necessarily mean a slump in production. The seven-time Pro Bowl tackle went 4-0 during one-on-one pass-rush drills against Nick Bosa. "Williams swallowed him a couple of times," reports Matt Barrows. (The Athletic)

Defensive end Dion Jordan was involved in a "minor scuffle" with offensive lineman Jaryd Jones-Smith. Teammates quickly broke up the skirmish, though. (Bay Area News Group)

There was another minor skirmish during practice, but reporters were too far to make out what happened or who was involved. (The Athletic)

Kendrick Bourne got into the end zone a couple of times off of C.J. Beathard passes during red-zone drills. "(Tight end Ross) Dwelley made nice diving grab from Jimmy Garoppolo for (a) score, then heaved ball against the nearby fence," wrote Matt Maiocco. (NBC Sports Bay Area)

Linebacker Fred Warner broke up two passes in the end zone on back-to-back plays against the first-team offense. (Sacramento Bee)

Leonard Floyd eager to pair up with Nick Bosa along 49ers D-line

Leonard Floyd is eager to begin working with his new San Francisco 49ers coaches and teammates. In free agency, the team signed the former Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams pass rusher to line up opposite star defensive end Nick Bosa, providing a boost to a defensive front that was inconsistent in 2023. Floyd matched his career-high with 10.5 sacks last season with the Bills, a statistic that would have tied with Bosa for the 49ers' team-high in 2023. In a recent interview with team reporter Lindsey Pallares, Floyd was asked how he believes his skillset complements Bosa's. "I believe our skill sets will complement each other well," Floyd responded. "We both been guys who've

Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the NFC West after signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently explained his decision to join the division rival after a one-season stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. "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

By Site Staff

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
