The San Francisco 49ers have a travel day on Friday as they prepare for their first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. In all likelihood, we’ll be lucky to see Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel for a series.
It’d be shocking if Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, or Charvarius Ward took the field a couple of days after an intense practice. Warner is dealing with foot irritation, so there’s little reason for him to play. The star players have nothing to accomplish.
But there are about 80 other players on the roster who could use the work—especially against a different-colored jersey.
