Here is what some of the San Francisco 49ers beat writers had to say about today's practice held at the team headquarters.
Grant Cohn,
The Press Democrat:
Aaron Lynch: Chased down and tag-sacked backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert on a play-action bootleg pass to the offense's right. Lynch seems in shape for the first time this offseason.
Rookie quarterback Dylan Thompson faked a handoff to his left, rolled back to his right and spotted wide receiver Nigel King open downfield ... Before Thompson threw the pass Tartt started accelerating toward King, and when the ball arrived Tartt swatted it to the ground.
Colin Kaepernick: Completed six of seven pass attempts including a 50-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline to Vernon Davis, who was being covered by cornerback Marcus Cromartie, who stopped running around the 25-yard line.
Cam Inman,
The Mercury News:
Cornerback Keith Reaser finished an encouraging week of practice by remaining on the first-string unit, ahead of Shareece Wright.
Jarryd Hayne's ball-catching skills again were among the practice highlights. Hayne raced down the right sideline and grabbed a 25-yard pass from fellow rookie Dylan Thompson, splitting the deep coverage of Mylan Hicks and L.J. McCray.
Chuck Jacobs had the catch of the day, diving into the end zone and securing a pass from Dylan Thompson against Hicks' coverage.

49ers vs. Giants: Brandon Aiyuk, Ambry Thomas will be limited at practice
The San Francisco 49ers are holding two walkthroughs today, lighter work than a typical practice. The team did not practice on Monday, a day off for players, but estimated that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk would not have participated had there been any on-field work.
Aiyuk and cornerback Ambry Thomas will be limited in today's sessions. The team is preparing for Thursday night's game against the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium.
On Sunday, Aiyuk was in and out of the lineup against the Los Angeles Rams. He suffered a shoulder injury on his first catch, a 13-yard reception during the 49ers' opening drive.
Aiyuk finished the game with three catches for 43 yards on six targets. The coach added that the receiver's status for Thursday will depend on the
