49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has a tough wrinkle on this year’s training camp. He has to figure out how best to navigate Brock Purdy’s return from an elbow injury, while also divvying up reps for a backup quarterback battle between Trey Lance and Sam Darnold.
Wednesday’s practice was easier for Shanahan because Purdy was absent from the session. Lance and Darnold in that scenario split first and second-team reps while veteran Brandon Allen scooped up the leftover snaps.
