The San Francisco 49ers are just over one week away from playing their first preseason game, and the roster is taking shape as training camp continues.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan met with the media following practice this week to relay updates on several injured players, share his thoughts on Brock Purdy becoming a deep-ball threat, and much more.

Plus, Shanahan gives his take on the 49ers’ backup running back role as Patrick Taylor Jr. and Isaac Guerendo figure to fill the second and third string spots behind Christian McCaffrey.

The following transcript of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is courtesy of the San Francisco 49ers

What is CB Deommodore Lenoir dealing with?

“Yeah, he’s got some hip irritation. He’ll be out these three blocks, these next three practices.”

What about RB Jordan James?

Jordan James has some knee issues. We’re going to re-evaluate him throughout this week. See how it goes, how he recovers and then see where we’re in a week.”

Both QB Brock Purdy and WR Ricky Pearsall ended last year saying that they were really eager to work with each other and develop more chemistry. I know that they worked in the offseason some, but then Pearsall had the injury. Where is that chemistry right now between those two?

“We’re just still trying to get Ricky back, we’re easing him in. He had one practice back or two, just eight plays. Then he got one off and then today I think he got eight plays again. So, we’re easing him back in. It’ll get there. We’re just trying to make sure he can last throughout camp.”
