Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers' secondary struggled during a joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers, with multiple coverage breakdowns and big plays allowed, including a touchdown where safety Deommodore Lenoir was beaten deep.
- Defensive end Osa Odighizuwa stood out with four pressures, the most of any defender in practice, helping mitigate some big plays that would have looked different in a live game setting.
- On offense, rookie Kaelon Black was active early, showing potential for explosive plays, while Carver Willis is competing for the left guard position amid injuries on the offensive line.
- The 49ers' offense showed mixed results, performing well early but struggling in two-minute drills, failing to score against the Chargers' defense despite multiple opportunities.
- Quarterback Brock Purdy acknowledged the offense's inconsistent performance, and the Chargers' defense held firm in critical moments, securing a practice win by forcing turnovers and incompletions late in the session.
