Jauan Jennings isn’t practicing. Is his absence about a bum calf or a new contract?

The #49ers defensive rookies are wowing this summer. And Robert Saleh wonders: Is this too good to be true?
“I joke with Kyle that, ‘Shoot, if you hit 50% of your draft picks in a year, that’s a hell of a draft class."

#49ers notes: Two days after ST coordinator Brant Boyer said the tight kicking competition would be decided in preseason games, Kyle Shanahan decides to pull the plug.
The winner: Jake Moody, who was, on paper, losing.

#49ers end kicker competition by releasing Greg Joseph, who statistically had a leg up.
Kyle Shanahan maintains things aren't "much different" for Jake Moody despite the change.

#49ers make surprising early kicker pick, release Jake Moody’s worthy summer rival, Greg Joseph
www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...
Surprise: The #49ers have released K Greg Joseph, who has made 22 of 24 FGs in training camp (Jake Moody: 21 of 24).
They also waived QB Tanner Mordecai after signing QB Carter Bradley last week.
Did the #49ers sign QB Carter Bradley because of his right arm or last name?

Stump-shaped Jon Weeks hears the same question: You play in the NFL?
But he's not offended, just grateful for his unlikely career.
"The thing is I can throw a ball between my legs pretty well. And I’m blessed that’s kept me doing this for a long time.”

Ricky Pearsall would get open as a rookie. But not really. Not in the #49ers' exacting, timing-based offense.
But he finally began to blossom by discovering the beat.
“He was playing within our system."

Loved this profile from Eric Branch, who captured the self-effacing gratitude of my new favorite obscure 49ers player.
