About this episode

Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the 49ers' challenges during a joint practice with the Chargers and address contract concerns regarding Christian McCaffrey.

On "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the 49ers were challenged on both sides of the ball in their joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday in El Segundo. As Justin Herbert found holes in San Francisco's secondary, Brock Purdy and the 49ers' offense seemed disjointed. On a positive note, coach Kyle Shanahan eased contract concerns about Christian McCaffrey, and rookie Kaelon Black returned to the backfield. Later, Jennifer sits down with cornerback Ephesians Prysock in the sixth edition of Meet the Rookies.
