The San Francisco 49ers have moved into their closed practice sessions this week, giving media access to individual drills but not team drills. That means we don’t have observations about changes to the depth chart.
Of course, sometimes information sneaks out. The team released a highlight video from Wednesday’s session, and Matt Maiocco noticed that Erik Magnuson and Tim Barnes were getting first team reps. Naturally, we all buzzed about it given Magnuson’s climb up the depth chart.
On Friday morning, Kyle Shanahan pumped the brakes on that when asked about the video and the reports.
