Colin Kaepernick


As usual, the big story remains the status of Colin Kaepernick. Head coach Chip Kelly announced today that the quarterback would miss his second straight preseason game and will not play against the Broncos. The team hopes to ease him back into practice and get him ready to play against the Green Bay Packers at home next week.

Kaepernick did do some light throwing on a side field during today's practice. Again, he did not participate in any team drills (7-on-7 or 11-on-11) and has not done so since Wednesday, August 10. That was eight days ago.


Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group noted that Kaepernick ended up throwing 47 passes on the side and that he did not appear to show any discomfort.


Injuries


Aside from Kaepernick, WR Bruce Ellington (ankle) did not practice. OLB Aaron Lynch also did not practice. He was poked in the eye during Wednesday's practice.


Quarterbacks


Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee logged Blaine Gabbert as 5 of 9 passing during practice. He said that Gabbert had some nice throws in the red zone. It was a better day of practice for the 49ers than yesterday according to Cam Inman.

Offensive line


OT Anthony Davis got some work with the first-team offensive line. However, it was his debut at right guard and not right tackle where he has been practicing all of training camp. While working with the second-team offensive line, he returned to right tackle.


Wide receivers


Torrey Smith beat CB Aqib Talib twice in a row for medium gains during 7-on-7 drills, per Joe Fann of 49ers Media. "Made one leaping catch near the sideline through a hold," said Fann.

Miscellaneous


For the second day in a row, things got a bit heated between the 49ers and the Broncos. A few fights broke out at practice today. One was OG Zane Beadles against DE Adam Gotsis. Another had C James Ferentz punching NT Garrison Smith.

The San Francisco 49ers announced they have re-signed cornerback Anthony Brown to a one-year deal. To make room on the roster, the team waived cornerback Tre Swilling. The Niners released Brown on Thursday, just hours ahead of their game against the New York Giants. That move came just days after initially signing Brown to the 53-man roster. The 49ers will likely try to re-sign Swilling to the practice squad. On Thursday, the cornerback was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster. He played 19 snaps on special teams against the

49ers WR Deebo Samuel's status appears to be trending up ahead of Week 4

The San Francisco 49ers announced their weekly practice squad elevations, sharing that wide receiver Willie Snead and cornerback Kendall Sheffield will be called up to the active roster for their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. With the announcement that Snead would be called up, one may assume that 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel's status would be trending down, as the 49ers expect to add another wideout to the active roster for Week 4. However, it's actually the opposite. Looking at the injury report, the 49ers aren't at risk of just missing Samuel, but

Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook. Not awful anymore Back in June, Deebo Samuel caught some attention with his honest description of his 2022 performance
