Rotowire
Puni (knee) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Puni is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered Aug. 16, but his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a good sign for his chances to play in Week 1. The 25-year-old will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's regular-season opener in Seattle. If he can't go, Connor Colby and Drew Moss are both candidates to draw the start at right guard versus the Seahawks.

49ers' Dominick Puni: Locked in as starting RG
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that it would be difficult to take away the starting right guard spot from Puni as the regular season approaches, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Puni was selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The rookie out of Kansas is currently slated as the No. 3 right guard on the 49ers' unofficial depth chart behind Spencer Burford and Jon Feliciano. However, with the endorsement of Shanahan, it appears the starting job is Puni's to lose.
