The San Francisco 49ers are missing Glenn Dorsey from team drills due to a muscle strain. This has opened the door to see what some of the depth can provide.
The San Francisco 49ers played around with their defensive line a bit on Tuesday as Glenn Dorsey remains sidelined with a muscle strain. Dorsey did return to the practice field, but he sat out team drills. In his place, Tony Jerod-Eddie got the start at the left end position, while Mike Purcell came on for a few reps in the nickel, according to 49ers beat writer Chris Biderman.
