The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up their first practice of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, and we have an intriguing development. We’ll have a full practice report from Jennifer Chan Wednesday morning, but in the meantime, Matt Barrows is reporting that UDFA safety Lorenzo Jerome got some work at nickel back.
An interesting development: Undrafted rookie Lorenzo Jerome, who has been the third-string free safety, took a lot of snaps as the second-string nickel cornerback on Tuesday. That's likely in part because first-string nickel cornerback K'Waun Williams in recovering from a minor injury and Will Redmond has been playing with the first string.
