Overview
- Both reserve offensive tackle Vaderian Lowe and veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk exited the first training-camp practice early after limping off or being escorted off with trainers.
- Acting head coach Chris Foerster declined to give specific injury details to reporters, leaving the exact nature and severity of both injuries unconfirmed.
- Lowe had been expected to serve as the team's swing tackle, so his absence immediately affects offensive-line depth and rep rotations at tackle.
- Kirk was signed to provide veteran receiver depth and slot help, and his early exit creates an opening for rookies and other veterans to get extra work in three-wide sets.
- The 49ers will monitor both players in the next practices for clearer updates and possible medical reports and the team used Lowe's reps to evaluate rookie Enrique Cruz Jr.
