ILB NaVorro Bowman talked to the media today and shared his thoughts on the return of
OT Anthony Davis, who has officially ended his retirement and been reinstated into the NFL.
"Him leaving the game was him, personally, making the decision for himself," said Bowman. "For him to come back, I think it shows that he misses it. This is not an easy game so when you make a decision to come back, it shows that you still love the game and hopefully he comes back, is willing to work and just contribute the way that I know he can and the way that the coaches know he can. So, I'm excited about it."

Meanwhile, according to Matt Maiocco of
CSN Bay Area, Antoine Bethea stated today what he has not yet seen Davis, who was reportedly going to report to the 49ers today.

49ers rookie RB Ty Davis-Price eager for NFL debut vs. Packers
NFL preseason games don't mean much to San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. If it were up to him, he'd replace them with joint practices, feeling those are more beneficial. For rookies, though, preseason games can mean a lot. It's not just an opportunity to showcase yourself. It's a chance to get acclimated to what it's like playing in an NFL game.
The 49ers open their three-game exhibition schedule on Friday against the Green Bay Packers. It's the only preseason game they will play at Levi's Stadium, and rookie running back Ty Davis-Price (prefers Ty versus Tyrion) can't wait.
"I'm looking forward to it, most definitely," Davis-Price told reporters after Wednesday's practice. "First NFL game, I don't know what to expect, to be honest with you. Just
