SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Greetings from 49ers training camp, where you can feel the electricity in the air. Sorry, that’s a terrible electrical substation joke, one of many you’ve probably seen this week regarding the injury-ravaged team.
On Thursday, Mike Evans was off to the side with his arms folded as fellow receiver Christian Kirk tossed a football in the air and tight end George Kittle cheered on his teammates away from the action. Unlike the three aforementioned players, rookie receiver De’Zhaun Stribling was at least sporting a helmet, but he didn’t participate in the 11-on-11 portion of practice. Still, that’s one less player compared to the 20 players who didn’t participate at all on Wednesday.
