With the NFL maintaining a four-game preseason, there are two main priorities for coaching staffs: keep players healthy for the regular season and evaluate rookies in live-action against other teams.
The 49ers suffered more injuries than they would have liked, losing offensive tackle Shon Coleman with a right leg injury, running back Raheem Mostert with a concussion, defensive lineman D.J. Jones with a knee injury and receiver Trent Taylor before the game even began.
Despite the concerns over losing healthy bodies, the 49ers’ coaching staff should be quite impressed with the debuts of their draft picks.
