SANTA CLARA, Calif. Custom Denver Nuggets Jerseys . -- Eric Wright was joined by a handful of players who were able to participate in practice for the first time on Tuesday. Wright, who grew up in San Francisco and attended Riordan High, less than five miles from Candlestick Park, was originally traded to the 49ers by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in late July, a few weeks after he was arrested for a DUI. He failed his physical and the trade was nullified. He eventually signed on as a free agent and placed on the reserved/non-football injury list. "It felt good just to be able to practice, put a helmet on and communicate with my teammates," Wright said. "Its a lot different than looking at a piece of paper or watching film. The reps mean a lot." He was also joined by veteran wide receiver Mario Manningham and rookie defensive linemen Tank Carradine and Quinton Dial. Wright, in his seventh season in the NFL, said there were no health issues that would keep him off the field. "No one wants to miss a lot of time but to go back out there with a healthy body is really not normal," Wright said. "Its a different experience and Im happy I am healthy at this time of the season after taking a beating for years." Wright has 14 career interceptions, returning two for touchdowns, including a 94-yard return with the Browns. "Im just grateful to be playing for the team I grew up watching," Wright said. "Im able to live out my dream." Manningham can add depth to a thin position for the 49ers, who have been without former No. 1 draft pick Michael Crabtree. "Im just trying to get my confidence back," Manningham said. "Im learning the routes, trying to keep my quickness and get separation from the defenders. Im doing everything I can to get back to 100 per cent." Manningham suffered a torn ACL in his knee near the end of last season, two weeks after he returned from a shoulder injury. He threw his crutches away a while ago and refuses to think about them, or the knee. "Im trying to keep a positive attitude," he said. "About my knee and being a good team player. Ive stayed in touch with what the team is doing." Manningham thinks hell return stronger than when he left. Thats because he had nothing else to do during his rehab but to build muscle throughout his body. "Im going to ease into it," said Manningham, who has 202 career receptions in three years with the New York Giants and one with the 49ers. "Im not going to put a timetable on it. I havent put it all together yet. By the time I step out there Sunday Ill be 100 per cent. I dont know which Sunday." Carradine and Dial both came to training camp with injuries. The 49ers have a three-week window to decide whether to add any or all of the four players to their 53-man roster. NOTES: Defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey, who left Sundays game against the Arizona Cardinals with a right hamstring strain, reported feeling better on Tuesday. "It felt pretty bad when I did it," he said. "But Ill be all right. The MRI was cool." ... Guard Mike Iupati said Sundays 18-play, 89-yard drive in the fourth quarter was about "executing plays. It wasnt like we had a lot of big plays. We just moved the ball." Iupati said RB Frank Gore was an inspiration for the offensive line during the drive. "You want to open those holes for me because he runs so hard." ... The 49ers last beat the Tennessee Titans in 1999, though theyve played just twice since then. Nuggets Jerseys 2019 . UCI President Brian Cookson said Wednesday the commission will investigate allegations "that the UCI has been involved in wrongdoing in the past -- allegations which have done so much to hurt the credibility of the UCI and our sport. Nuggets Jerseys 2020 . -- New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has no concerns about the health of shortstop Derek Jeter, who was limited to 17 games last season due to leg injuries.SOCHI – If its not Canada, it could be the inspired bunch from the host-country. If its not the Russians, it could be the Swedes, Finns, Czechs or Americans. The gold-medal winner likely will come from this group in Sochi, but forecasting the Olympic champion in the mens hockey tournament has never been easy. Since the participation of NHL players in 1998 there have been three different winners in the Czech Republic, Canada, Sweden and Canada again in four Winter Games. Its a short-term event and things can go wrong in a hurry for the top teams. A hot goaltender can steal a game in the medal round and all of a sudden a favourite is sitting on the sidelines. Just ask Hockey Canada. Were the Canadian teams that won gold in Salt Lake City in 2002 or in Vancouver in 2010 any better than the 1998 group that was stoned time and time again by Dominik Hasek in Nagano? Just ask Sweden about 2002, when goalie Tommy Salo surrendered that fluky late-game winning goal offf his bean from 70 feet out off the stick of Belarus defenceman Vladimir Kopat. Stitched Nuggets Jerseys.
