It didn’t take long into the first padded practice for the 49ers to break into their first fight of training camp. It was a big melee that carried from one practice field to the next and it was very hard to make out the primary belligerents in the mess

Hopefully at some point will get some video of the wild brawl.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan is highly regarded in the NFL coaching community and likely isn’t bothered by his players fighting during training camp.
Brock Purdy, also known as 2022’s “Mr. Irrelevant,” made the most of his opportunity to start for the 49ers, accumulating a perfect 5-0 record in his regular-season starts as a rookie.
Unfortunately, he suffered an injury in the NFC Championship Game, hindering the team’s progress.
San Francisco possesses one of the league’s strongest pass-rushing units, led by Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Javon Kinlaw. Barring major injuries, the 49ers will be a formidable force in the upcoming season.
