#49ers injuries per Kyle Shanahan:

George Kittle (adductor) out this week.

Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) left practice early.

Drake Jackson (hamstring)

Ray-Ray McClound broke his wrist and needs surgery. He'll be out about 8 weeks.

Danny Gray is sore so kept out of practice.

More groin and soft tissue issues. Come on boys. Gray is like 20 years old. How you 'sore?'

Stacking days, they must really be grinding out there. Is it time, NC? Do we dare bump the thread?

:/ not the end of the world injuries but get these guys healthy for the season. Huge opportunity for gray. Would be awesome if he flourished.

kittle seems to get injured this year Everytime.

This time of year you lean towards the side of paranoia more than caution when it comes to injury. Unless it's something obvious like Ray-Ray breaking his wrist I just assume there's not much to it other than that unless the 9ers themselves say otherwise.

Helps keep my sanity levels steady at least.

Man, it would of been the weirdest season ever if we won the NFCC, signed rivers and then he helped us win the super bowl. Lmao like does he come back? Is he only playing one game for this franchise? Lmao would be so strange.

Would be an all time great 49er?? Hahaha it's funny

I really do think we are in great hands, this season. The recovery being so quick, he has time here to get these invaluable reps. I think we will even see him in preseason, although not this coming game.

I guess it shouldn't matter that he threw 2 touchdowns against as I was told a "hot trash secondary" even though they got Marcus peters and have two great pass rushers and our offensive line isn't at full strength. But hey, let's downplay it

Hating on Purdy has now been labeled as "adding context".

I feel really good about where we are right now with Purdy. He still has a ways to go but he's improving and getting himself prepared for the season. We still have a month for him to continue improving and grinding.

a bunch of people keep crying about him throwing a pick here and there, it's hilarious. Didn't our first unit lead the league in interceptions? (Tied for first). Even Aaron Rodgers is throwing picks right now. You have to take chances and attempt difficult throws, push the envelope. It would be weird if he didn't have any picks. Lol to me, that's a huge sign of playing conservative. Make aggressive throws, figure out what you can and can't do, especially against different defenses, and take that learning experience and apply it to the actual games. It's really simple.

the other aspect is that he's actually scoring touchdowns too in the move the ball periods. That's a positive sign. People act like he's just out there turning it over and nothing positive happening. It's all a process - Kyle seems to be very pleased with where Brock is at.

And what if Sam is 3rd on the depth chart?

You didn't answer the question, I think we are keeping 3 QBs, its our 3 QB rule, after all. Sam is on what a 4.5m, meanwhile TL is at a 9.3m cap hit and 10.8 next season. 4.5m is pretty rich for QB3, however 9.3m is a lot moreso, also you have the next year hit. So if they sour on TL, the contract becomes an issue, is why you are seeing trade TL chatter, like now on the homepage. If they sour on Darnold, they can simply QB3 him, at much less dollars than TL, or cut. And QB3 Allen.

Will you answer now?

Funny how you chose to read the tea leaves we get. Put more emphasis into stupid rumors than actual things reported from practice.

I dont know what Kyle will do but by almost all accounts Trey has been better than Darnold in camp. Even the select few(usually people who haven't been to all camp practices) who claim Darnold is QB2 are going off stupid things like "no interceptions" which isn't even the case anymore.

Darnold is a 55 game starter and he came in here with all that experience and yet Trey is processing better and Sam isn't ahead of him throwing wise or moving the offense wise.

So maybe stop the "what if Trey is QB3" when most things are pointing to him at worst being the 2nd best QB in camp this year behind Brock with plenty saying he's been the best.

Uhh what's at best him being considered then?

You have a hard time figuring out what's better than 2nd best?

If it's a real game, Purdy won't have those interceptions. Training camp and preseason is the perfect time to get as much trial and error as possible. Remember what Fred Warner advised Trey Lance before.

I'm not expecting Brock to continue having a 4.3-1 TD-INT ratio next year, although that would be amazing. So some things may have a drop off - just depends on how the season goes but I don't expect him to be a turnover machine.

he's going to have hiccups, it happens to every young player, but he still should be good and get better as the season progresses

How did Winters do in camp?

He's been playing very well since the pads came on. Numerous reports are singing his praises. Seems to be doing especially well in coverage.

Dude moves like lightening, it's incredible. I feel like we are going to see some cool blitz packages with him.

i also feel like he could play the third safety role in some packages. He's a unique player - we just keep getting more and more "positionless" players that can handle several roles. It's pretty cool

I've said it before… the QBs have looked good in camp which is great but is the defense possibly taking a step back this season?

I think initially in the season, yes. Come end of year, I would expect any shortcomings to not be significant, although this depends completely on the CBs. Even so, I expect more interceptions and a more aggressive style of play, which I prefer, even though it can be exploited, and may be if the team makes the Super Bowl against the likes of PM.

ya just like when we had Ryans there is an adjustment period with a new/different system

not concerned at all long term
