The 49ers and Raiders are continuing training camp. The Niners had wide receiver Jauan Jennings on the field as he continues to seek a contract extension with the team. Jennings led all the receiver drills during individual periods and came up with several catches during 11-on-11. Fellow wideout Jacob Cowing injured his hamstring during the session and it is unclear how much time he will miss. In Nevada, the Raiders had linebackers Elandon Roberts, Devin White and Germaine Pratt taking the field at the same time. Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and offensive lineman Thayer Munford Jr. were the lone players that did not participate in the practice.

Chico's Kurt Kitayama shoots a first round 65 at the 3M Championship at the TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. Kitayama sits at 110 in the Fed Ex Cup points race and needs a strong finish to earn a spot in the Fed Ex Cup playoffs.
