The San Francisco 49ers traveled to Henderson, Nevada, for a Thursday joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, braving triple-digit temperatures in an early-morning session designed to beat the heat. Head coach Kyle Shanahan praised the group's effort despite a list of absences across the roster.
"I was happy with the guys," Shanahan shared after practice. "I'm excited to see the film. It was a huge challenge today... I thought we needed it and I was real proud of the guys. A number of positions had to step up, especially DB, D-line, wide out. I thought we competed hard out there, I thought we did a good job and excited to have the tape for these guys.
"It's more about us continuing to get our guys the best they can be. It helps to go against some different techniques and styles to do that, so that's why I like this."
