The San Francisco 49ers on Sunday held their eighth practice of training camp. Below are some practice notes from various media sources.
Players have Monday off.
Three players left practice early due to injuries — wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, defensive end Dee Ford, and offensive lineman Ross Reynolds.
Reynolds was playing at center at the time and ended up being carted off the field. The other two were able to remain on the sidelines and observe the remainder of the practice.
"Hopefully, it's not as bad as it looked," said right tackle Mike McGlinchey after practice.
We await official updates from the 49ers.
Tight end Jordan Reed was out on the practice field with his new teammates but then left after some stretching. The 49ers continue to ease him back after the veteran missed all of last season due to symptoms of a concussion. (The Athletic)
