Cornerback K'Waun Williams, center Ben Garland (ankle), and offensive lineman Ross Reynolds (knee) also did not practice. Reynolds was carted off the practice field on Sunday. Tight end Jordan Reed was in pads and practiced for the first time. (NBC Sports Bay Area)
Running back Raheem Mostert received a veteran day off.
Reed had a dominant outing during 1-on-1 drills. "Jordan Reed just took part in his first 1-on-1 drills of camp. He went 4-4 vs SF's safeties, including two catches vs. Jaquiski Tartt, which is no easy feat," wrote Matt Barrows. (The Athletic)
"Reed also made a nice catch over the middle in 11 on 11s and George Kittle had a potential 70-ish yard TD, besting Johnathan Cyprien down the right sideline and cutting inside against Tarvarius Moore. Unclear if Moore, who might be the #49ers' fastest player, would've caught him," wrote Jake Hutchinson. (KNBR)
Quarterback C.J. Beathard threw a 35-yard pass along the right sideline to tight end George Kittle, who was working against safeties Tarvarius Moore and Johnathan Cyprien. (NBC Sports Bay Area)
"Craziest play of #49ers practice: Nick Mullens overthrew Dante Pettis over middle, Pettis tried to prevent INT, ricocheted to D.J. Jones for the INT, who hauled towards the end zone. Then Jeff Wilson Jr. chased him down and stripped the ball from Jones for a fumble," wrote Hutchinson. (KNBR)

"Some really strong pass rush reps from DL Arik Armstead today against Tom Compton. Armstead appears to be settled in after missing first four practice with back tightness," wrote Nick Wagoner. (ESPN)
