The 49ers on Monday held their third practice and first padded practice of training camp.
"If you aren't excited for the first day of pads, what are you playing the game for?" defensive tackle D.J. Jones told reporters on Sunday. "Yes, I'll get my sleep tonight, but I'll be tossing and turning thinking about it."
Below are some of Monday's practice notes from various media sources.
