49ers trade down again

The San Francisco 49ers are in Eagan, Minnesota for a couple of joint practices with the Vikings, before the preseason game on Saturday. The starters will likely not play in the Saturday game, which makes the two practices all the more valuable. Let's open up the 49ers Webzone mailbag and see if we can answer some of your questions. Do you think Jason Verrett will make it back for Week 1? What kind of impact could he make this upcoming season? - Matt Hutson I don't think Jason Verrett will make it back for week one. Verrett, of course, is recovering from an ACL tear in his right knee that he suffered in week one of last season. He missed the entire 2021 campaign, but he re-signed with the 49ers in the offseason and has been working hard to get

"I watched Jimmy Garoppolo make about 25 full-tilt throws to a junior staffer on a side field during the 49ers' training-camp practice Friday," wrote Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, "and there's no question he's close to 100 percent healed after his March shoulder surgery and one of the top 32 QBs in the league right now.

The San Francisco 49ers are off today. The team returns to the practice field tomorrow. Anyone that follows the team even somewhat closely knows that second-year quarterback Trey Lance has had an up and down training camp. That was to be expected. This offseason is his first taking the majority of the quarterback snaps. Plus, Lance is going against what many expect to be one of this season's top defenses and has had starters in and out of the offense while doing so. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport joined the PatMcAfee Show and shared what he's heard about and witnessed from last year's No. 3 overall pick. While none of it is new information, Rapoport still discussed Lance's "up and down" training camp. McAfee hilariously expressed shock as if the report
