San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula stated today that a number of players will be returning from injury today and will practice with the team. Those players include
RB Carlos Hyde,
WR Anquan Boldin, and
CB Tramaine Brock. The three will practice to determine where they each are with their respective injuries.
Hyde is recovering from a fractured left foot, Boldin from a hamstring injury, and Brock from a shin injury.
Tomsula also said that
WR DeAndre Smelter looked good in an extended workout on Monday when the team did a competitive session for players that had been there 3 years or less.
As for the seldom used
DL Tank Carradine, Tomsula is looking to get him playing on the edge more as opposed to the inside pass rusher spot that he has been used at. While listed at 295 lbs, he is now more in the 280 lbs range.
"We've practiced with a lot of really, really loud music from the sidelines, since the spring," Tomsula said about the team's upcoming visit to Seattle.
LB NaVorro Bowman will have his customary Wednesday day off.
There's a training camp battle brewing between San Francisco 49ers cornerbacks Emmanuel Moseley and Ahkello Witherspoon. One will earn the right to start opposite veteran Richard Sherman, who believes Moseley has the upper hand after a strong 2019 campaign.
Moseley, an undrafted player out of Tennessee, is entering his third NFL season. He started nine games last season after taking over for Witherspoon, who was sidelined with a foot injury. Moseley also started the 49ers' final two playoff games, including Super Bowl LIV.
Sherman envisions Moseley getting the early snaps with the first-team defense when the 49ers finally get onto the practice field in August.
"I think he'll have a whole training camp of starting,"
