Dwight Clark Day: Open Practices end with Purdy dominating in the red zone

The 49ers concluded the open practice portion of training camp with Dwight Clark Day (8/7), but the typical “stadium practice” was shelved due to the field conditions following Taylor Swift’s concert run at Levi’s Stadium.

Today’s big news was centered around Brock Purdy’s play, particularly in the red zone, and the ramp-up for the first preseason game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Christian McCaffrey has returned to practicing and isn’t disappointing in his first full training camp as a 49er:

Purdy continued to take every first-team rep as the QB1, as expected:
