He later sent Raiders tight end Michael Mayer to the ground after a short reception from Geno Smith during a 7-on-7 period.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jennings and Aiyuk share their thoughts on how they view different circumstances that come up within the passing game during practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Purdy said he views it as a positive step toward quickly regaining chemistry with Jenning and Aiyuk whenever they are able to return to action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI think overall, if you\u2019re talking ball, you\u2019re talking scheme, you\u2019re talking, \u2018Hey, on this route, what\u2019s your mindset\u2019 or whatever and talking through things, that\u2019s always a blessing,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cThat\u2019s a huge deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sports\/49ers\/article\/what-heck-49ers-brock-purdy-close-call-20817355.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018What the heck?\u2019 49ers\u2019 Brock Purdy has close call in Raiders joint practice (paywall)<\/a><br \/>\u201cIn the 49ers\u2019 first preseason game, Saturday against the Broncos, Burford allowed a sack and pressure on back-to-back snaps. Two days later, it was notable that head coach Kyle Shanahan said he hoped Andre Dillard could serve as the 49ers\u2019 swing tackle to open the season. That appeared to be a reflection on Burford\u2019s training-camp performance considering Dillard\u2019s medical file and pedigree. Dillard, who was signed in May, is a 2019 first-round pick who flamed out with the Eagles and is on the fourth team of his 19-start career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, that hope was quickly extinguished. The 49ers placed Dillard on injured reserve Thursday, ending his season. Shanahan was asked after practice whether the 49ers needed to sign another veteran offensive tackle to compete for the role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI mean, we\u2019re always looking outside, but if there were a lot of (capable players), they wouldn\u2019t be\u201d available, Shanahan said. \u201cThey would be somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">West is among eight injured 49ers defensive linemen. The team finished Thursday\u2019s practice with 10 defensive linemen, including four they\u2019ve signed during training camp to address their attrition. Shanahan overstated the extent of their injury issues, but he was correct in noting the situation is unusual.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No live tackling is allowed during a joint practice, but Winters delivered a couple of pops that sent&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,52307,7,6,1161,252,2624,2623],"class_list":{"0":"post-289515","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-49ers-links","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","14":"tag-sanfrancisco","15":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115031589813575845","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
