  49ers | Mike Purcell the favorite to start at NT    Sun Jul 31, 06:10 PM

San Francisco 49ers DL Mike Purcell is working with the first team as the team attempts to fill the void left behind by NT Ian Williams (ankle), who was ruled out for the season Saturday, July 31.

Footballguys view: The 49ers run defense has already suffered a big blow, and this is a team that will likely have to defend the run a lot in the second half of games. Todd Gurley gets the benefit of this great matchup in Week 1.
