While the injuries do not appear to be serious, defensive ends Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner, the future bookends along the defensive line, were both injured during Sunday's practice within a 10-minute span, per Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group.

Further confirming that neither injury seemed serious, neither Armstead nor Buckner received attention from the medical staff.

Matt Barrows of The Athletic was on hand for Tuesday's practice, the only one open to reporters so far, and one that Barrows describes as a

Lance, of course, had been working with QB guru, Jeff Christensen, and thanks to some leaked footage of Lance throwing with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, along with a very well-timed piece by Matt Barrows in The Athletic, there was plenty of
