SANTA CLARA — Through four weeks of training camp, 49ers quarterback Trey Lance had his ups and downs.
Before Monday, however, he had not thrown more than one interception during any practice.
That changed when he was intercepted three times in the 49ers’ first practice since returning from Minnesota, including on his first two pass attempts of the day. Both throws sailed high and were deflected.
Each of Lance’s interceptions came on passes that were intended for All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley returned to practice after missing a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. He deflected one pass that safety Talanoa Hufanga picked off.
Then, Moseley intercepted a pass that was high and off the hands of Samuel.
“It felt good,” said Moseley of his return to practice. “I’ve been out the last couple of weeks. That sucks. You never want to be out but I know when I get back out there, I need to make some impact plays and get the guys going.”
Linebacker Fred Warner collected the third interception of Lance, as he stepped in front of Samuel in the middle of the field.
Lance concluded the day with five completions on his final six attempts. He completed nine of 16 pass attempts in practice.
The 49ers returned to practice after playing Saturday night against the Minnesota Vikings. The club is scheduled to practice again Tuesday morning before departing for Houston for Thursday’s preseason finale against the Texans.
