The Good and Not So Good from Day 9 of 49ers Camp: Brock Purdy Throws 2 Pick
Key Points:
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan addressed the media for the first time since his July 14 car crash, reporting ongoing headaches and fatigue, but his account of the crash has inconsistencies regarding how the accident occurred.
- Defensive players Deommodore Lenoir, Upton Stout, Nate Hobbs, and Jack Jones stood out with interceptions and pass breakups, highlighting strong performances in the secondary, while linebacker Dre Greenlaw returned to practice after minor soreness.
- Quarterback Brock Purdy struggled with two pick-sixes, partly due to forced throws and miscommunications with receivers, compounded by injuries limiting the receiving corps.
- Defensive end Nick Bosa missed his third consecutive practice due to "soreness," raising concerns about his durability given his history of ACL injuries and possible contract issues.
- Cornerback Renardo Green had a poor showing in drills, giving up multiple catches and appearing less reliable than teammates, suggesting the 49ers might consider trading him.
