The following are some tweets from San Francisco 49ers beat writers during today's team practice. Today is the team's first padded practice.
Former Aussie rugby league star Jarryd Hayne wears pads for the first time as he heads out to #49ers… https://t.co/OWtaoQaaVE

It appears #49ers LB NaVorro Bowman has been given day off. First padded practice today.

LBs Desmond Bishop (51), Aaron Lynch (59) and rest of #49ers have started first padded practice of training... https://t.co/2vd6HJz6cM

#49ers start 11 on 11 defense with ILB Shayne Skove filling in for ILB NaVorro Bowman.

#49ers OLB Aldon Smith gets through the line for a 'would be' sack on QB Colin Kaepernick.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
QB Colin Kaepernick forces ball to WR Quinton Patton only to see it being picked off by CB Shareece Wright who returns for a 15-yard pick 6.

Blaine Gabbert drops back and feels the blitz so what does he do? To no one's surprise he scrambles. #49ers

Pass-Protection drill: RB Carlos Hyde vs. LB Desmond Bishop = Bishop wins with spin move to QB.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
#49ers DE Darnell Dockett vs. G/C Marcus Martin = Dockett wins with straight bull-rush to QB.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
Team Drills: #49ers LT Joe Staley vs. OLB Aldon Smith = Aldon Smith spins off Staley's backside to get to the QB for a sack.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
Team Drills: T Trent Brown vs. OLB Eli Harold = Harold wins convincingly with brute force as he bull-rushes Brown (the biggest player on tm)
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
Team Drills: Staley/Boone vs. Dial/Aldon Smith = Staley/Boone win! They matched up twice and protected that side well sealing off back side
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
Team Drills: DE Arik Armstead vs. G/C Marcus Martin = Armstead wins with bull-rush. Martin is not having a good day.

Not the best but they don't have much at ILB either. They need Bowman and Wilhoite back. Moody is looking strong. https://t.co/wtI9jVN862
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
#49ers G/C Marcus Martin and G Brandon Thomas are both getting man-handled down in the trenches with simple bull-rush.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
#49ers T Erik Pears does not look the part of a starting RT IMO. The left side is clearly going to be the strength.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
Don't be surprised if new #49ers OC Geep Chryst installs designed runs for Kap on the right side to keep pass-rushers at bay.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
They don't look too good out there. The right side needs help and they may need to install designed leak/runs. https://t.co/lKZFQ1t1hX
— Ryan Sakamoto (@SakamotoRyan) August 5, 2015
He is not looking too good either. But it's still early. Time will tell. https://t.co/jyiB64p4WE

Jarryd Hayne. 💪🏻 https://t.co/lIS879na3e

#49ers 1st practice in pads went OK. No injuries, fights. Hayne acquitted himself well vs LBs. Wright had pick-6 of Kaepernick. 74/75 solid

Choose whichever headline you want for 49ers first padded practice: Defense again looks disruptive Or Offense continues to struggle
— Matt Maiocco (@MaioccoCSN) August 5, 2015
#49ers LB NaVorro Bowman was given vet day off; WR Jerome Simpson was excused from practice.
— Eric Branch (@Eric_Branch) August 5, 2015
Play of the day was a Shareece Wright pick-six. Has 2 interceptions in camp. #49ers
— Joe Fann (@Joe_Fann) August 5, 2015
Not a good practice for the 49ers offense on the first day with pads. Kaepernick threw a pick-6, Gabbert was sacked on 4-straight snaps.
