Hot Corner

Former NFL scout and current writer for The Athletic, John Middlekauff, stopped by the Papa & Lund show Monday morning to discuss who stood out to him at the 49ers first padded practice of 2019.

For the first time this season, the San Francisco 49ers practiced with pads on.

Jalen Hurd is unlikely to be a very popular man with the 49ers’ defense.

The 49ers took the field for the first time as a team on Saturday, and obviously, the return of Jimmy Garoppolo was the most notable event to take place.

It is in the job description, a necessity, in fact, for a defensive lineman to do harm to the offensive lineman in front of them.

Last year, the 49ers had six players unable to play at the start of training camp. This year, there will be four on that list. Progress? Maybe.

The Giants found a taker.

He spoke on KNBR in his last interview before the deadline.

With the MLB trade deadline just five days away, it’s looking like the San Francisco Giants won’t be sellers after all.

“Baseball’s just a game.”
