Golden Nuggets: The week leading up to Week 2 vs. Denver Broncos

The 49ers and Ravens wrapped up their second day of practice on Sunday. They have one more joint practice session on Monday, and then the 49ers depart for Santa Clara. The 49ers will have Tuesday off, and then it is back to the grind heading into Sunday's preseason game against the Denver Broncos. I'm not entirely sure how much access 49ers media will have once they return to Santa Clara. The first two weeks of practices are as open as we'll see in Santa Clara, but then things clamp down a bit.

The big thing this week will be seeing who returns from injury. There is some belief the 49ers will get some defensive line help back, and Brandon Lloyd and Michael Crabtree are reportedly close to returning to practice. Lloyd did some individual work on Sunday, but no team drills. I don't expect much different on Monday, but after the team returns to Santa Clara and gets through their off day, maybe we see some players back on Wednesday. We'll see!
