Dee Ford is back practicing. As the lynchpin of a defensive line overhaul which hopes to catapult an underwhelming defensive unit into the upper echelon of NFL defenses, that’s no small note.
In 2013, Damontre Moore was far closer to a Nick Bosa-type prospect than a roster bubble guy. Six years later, he’s fighting to stake his claim to a place on the 49ers’ roster, and making a pretty good case for himself.
One more week of semi-real football remains (plus another week of practice) before the 49ers will play in an actual, genuine, regular season game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
For most of the offseason, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has played somewhat coy about whether the 49ers would keep two or three quarterbacks on the roster.
