Summary
Seven red-zone touchdowns highlighted San Francisco's joint practice with Tennessee, with Brock Purdy throwing multiple scores, hitting Demarcus Robinson on a deep touchdown and adding a rushing score.
Purdy spread the ball efficiently against an unfamiliar defense, connecting repeatedly with Robinson, Deebo Samuel Sr. and De'Zhaun Stribling as the 49ers got their first cross-team camp work before Thursday's preseason opener.
Defensively, San Francisco set an aggressive tone early: C.J. West logged a tackle for loss, Nick Martin helped force pressure on Cam Ward, and Jakob Robinson intercepted a hurried throw after pressure from Larry Worth III.
Christian McCaffrey missed practice with soreness, while Nick Bosa was present but not suited up; Kyle Shanahan said few starters are expected to play in Thursday's 6 p.m. preseason game, leaving more snaps for younger players.
The session also marked Robert Saleh's return to face the 49ers as Titans head coach, adding a reunion element to a practice San Francisco treated as its closest live-game test before the opener.
