  "summary": "The San Francisco 49ers' injury list has expanded once again with the addition of two new players, Gracen Halton and Dominick Puni, who were held out of practice due to an ankle and concussion, respectively. This comes on the heels of a season marked by numerous injuries for the team, including Ricky Pearsall, Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, and De Zhaun Stribling, who have all missed time. The 49ers' defensive tackle room has been particularly thin, with the addition of Mikail Kamara being waived with an injury designation earlier in the camp. With Jordan James out due to fractured ribs, George Kittle working his way back from a torn Achilles, and Christian McCaffrey still dealing with tightness, the coaching staff will be closely monitoring the status of Halton, Puni, West, and Leo in the coming days to determine the impact on the team for the upcoming season opener.",
