Tight end Jordan Reed continues to impress in 1-on-1 drills. He had a good session going against safety Jaquiski Tartt and hauled in a pair of passes. Fullback Josh Hokit, along with running backs Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty, had deep grabs while safety Jimmie Ward broke up a pass. (

The 49ers had what Matt Barrows described as a "short-lived but intense scuffle" between offensive lineman Justin Skule and rookie defensive tackle
Javon Kinlaw with tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith coming to the former's aid. "Helmets were ripped off," wrote Barrows. (

Head coach Kyle Shanahan last week shared his perspective on these types of skirmishes.
"You should always hit a guy back if he hits you, but not on the football field,"
Shanahan said. "We're playing a sport. We're trying to egg those guys on. We're trying to get them to punch us in our helmet with the face mask on so they can hurt their hand, and we can smile as they get escorted off the field by a ref."
Linebacker
Fred Warner also got into it a bit with running back Raheem Mostert. (

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw three interceptions — two off tips — during red-zone drills. One of the interceptions was hauled in by cornerback Richard Sherman and returned over 90 yards for a would-be score. Defensive end
Arik Armstead caused the pressure on the play. Safety Jonathan Cyprien and Kinlaw had the other interceptions. (

Said David Lombardi of Kinlaw's interception: "It looked like D.J. Jones tipped Garoppolo's pass on the line and Kinlaw was impressive on the return. He even made a sharp cut." (
The Athletic)
Garoppolo, of course, made headlines after
throwing five consecutive interceptions during an August 14, 2019 practice.
Garoppolo recovered with a touchdown pass to wide receiver Kendrick Bourne in traffic. (

Sherman had a bit of an injury scare early in practice but was fine. That was before his interception. (

"Everyone's heart in 49ers secondary skipped a beat when Richard Sherman grabbed back of left lower leg in individual drill. After a while, he got up put sock and shoe back on and practiced," wrote Matt Maiocco. (

Practice finished with wide receiver Dante Pettis making a physical catch over the middle with cornerback Emmanuel Moseley in tight coverage. (
The Athletic)
Pettis had three catches on the final drive of practice. (

Tight end
George Kittle worked with a trainer on a side field for the final 30 minutes of practice. No one seems too concerned, though, and the 49ers say there are no injury updates. (

49ers insider believes team may prefer WR Brandon Aiyuk play on fifth-year option
The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
