Richard Sherman cleared for practice, Malcolm Smith to open camp on NFI list

The San Francisco 49ers have returned for training camp, and physicals are currently underway. They are not fully wrapped up, but general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan announced some early news for the injury lists.

The best piece of news is that Richard Sherman has been cleared to return to practice and is expected to be practicing on Thursday. Shanahan said he will have a 2-day on, 1-day off practice schedule. This also means that Sherman earned his $2 million roster bonus.

Here are the players the team already knows will be on injury lists:

Active/PUP: OG Jonathan Cooper, WR Trent Taylor, LB Dekoda Watson
Active/NFI: LB Malcolm Smith, S Marcell Harris, DL Kentavius Street

Smith was an unexpected inclusion.
