The 49ers concluded the open practice portion of training camp with Dwight Clark Day (8/7), but the typical “stadium practice” was shelved due to the field conditions following Taylor Swift’s concert run at Levi’s Stadium.
Today’s big news was centered around Brock Purdy’s play, particularly in the red zone, and the ramp-up for the first preseason game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Christian McCaffrey has returned to practicing and isn’t disappointing in his first full training camp as a 49er:
One of the sickest plays of 1v1 was Christian McCaffrey making a one-handed catch in the back of the endzone

He’s been unguardable all training camp
Purdy continued to take every first-team rep as the QB1, as expected:

Sounds like the plan is to give Purdy the night off on Sunday, but the joint practices will be where he’s evaluated.
Shanahan also spoke about Nick Bosa’s contract situation:
Kyle Shanahan said he hasn’t asked John Lynch for updates on Nick Bosa’s extension negotiations and says he’s not worried about a deal getting done:

Shanahan sounds confident, and that’s probably the best way to view the situation.
With training camp completed, the focus is on one more step until football that counts.
