Overview
- The joint practice on Tuesday broke up into repeated scuffles during the opening 11-on-11 work, with several fights reported within the first 10 minutes and at least four players ejected for throwing punches.
- Titans tackles Austin Deculus and Dan Moore Jr. were identified as two of the players removed, and San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed two 49ers were also tossed but did not name them.
- Linebacker Fred Warner stepped in to calm the 49ers after the early altercations, coaches reined in the session, tempers cooled and both teams were able to finish practice.
- Titans coach Robert Saleh listed injuries or precautionary exits for Jacob Martin (knee), Jackie Marshall (oblique), Cor'Dale Flott (precaution) and John Franklin-Myers (lower back), and both clubs are monitoring availability for the preseason opener.
- On the field, the 49ers generally outperformed the Titans in team periods and quarterback Brock Purdy had a strong day, but coaches are balancing reps and risk; Shanahan said few 49ers starters will play in the Aug. 13 game.
