2023 NFL Training Camp Debrief: Everything you need to know from the first two weeks of practice

There are so many NFL nuggets coming out of training camp daily that it's hard to keep track of them all. That's where The Debrief comes in, with a modest 68 items to know from the first two weeks of training camp:

Kyle Shanahan made it clear that Purdy is The Guy. After some early rust, Purdy has taken to the role.

2) So how have the other 49ers quarterbacks looked? The team has such a deep and talented beat-writer contingent that I trust them completely when they are all saying the same things: Trey Lance has proven more accurate and comfortable this season; Sam Darnold has mostly played well, avoiding interceptions; even Brandon Allen, the team's No. 4, is better than some teams' backup quarterback.

Will Lance even be on this roster in Week 1? The former No. 3 overall pick is splitting backup reps with Darnold, which says a lot about how San Francisco sees Lance's future. Then again, the 49ers might want to keep as much quarterback depth as they possibly can, given what's happened to them in the Shanahan era.

4) Who are the Niners' edge starters with Nick Bosa holding out? Clelin Ferrell and second-year pro Drake Jackson. If the 49ers salvage Ferrell's career, they should
