49ers training camp practice recap, 8/20: Shells open things up for the offense

The San Francisco 49ers went with shells for Thursday's practice. That afforded the offense an opportunity to get some work done without the defense getting overly physical. We take a look at the reports.

The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up another practice session, and have one remaining before Sunday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Thursday's practice was in shells, not full pads, so it was less physical than other practices. There was no full contact work, which meant the offense could take a little more advantage of the situation.

Reports indicate Vernon Davis and Vance McDonald both had strong days.
