Notes: 49ers WR Torrey Smith has a sore knee that kept him out of team drills Tuesday ahead of the teams flight to Colorado….
“You really don’t want to fight because you’re exhausted the rest of practice”, Hillman said. “In my head I’m thinking, “OK, he might think we’re in this coverage” and I was able to get underneath No. 1″.
Hunter tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the second practice of past year s training camp. His health, for now, isn’t in question.
“I think when you get to see what happened today, I think that’s awesome”, said Niners coach Jim Tomsula.
Hunter is the change-of-pace back that could complement Hyde, who s more of a power rusher.
“Yeah, we handed out a couple citations yesterday, ” Tomsula said. With Hayne angling strong for a roster spot, and fourth-round pick Mike Davis likely staying put, some may even wonder if Hunter is expendable.
Wilhoite began all 16 video games final season, partially due to accidents to Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, and was credited with 87 tackles. He’s recorded six tackles and two sacks in Denver’s two preseason games, and the Broncos have managed to play just fine without their injured defensive linemen. “I wish him the best”.

Tomsula said the entire team benefited from going against Manning and the Broncos.
Nick Moody took most first-team snaps while Wilhoite Saturday Tomsula wouldn’t share who he likes in that competition.
“I feel like I fit in any kind of offense, but this one, it just fits my abilities a lot more than the other ones would”, Hillman said.
“I think he probably thought we were in a different coverage”, Bethea said. With the pass rush bearing down on him, Osweiler rushed to get rid of the football, sending a pass to the right that cornerback Marcus Cromartie was able to dive towards and secure for the interception.
A quarterback like Colin Kaepernick who is as risky with his feet as his throwing arm represents a good challenge for a defense that has had its way with opposing blocking schemes the last two weeks, racking up a league-leading 12 sacks and averaging one every 6.75 pass plays.
“I’m looking forward to working with him as a teammate”, Manning said.
