It's been bandied about as an idea for years. On Aug. 4 it finally will come to fruition -- a practice session between the 49ers and Raiders. The sessions will be on the Raiders' training-camp turf in Napa. We're told it won't be a scrimmage but rather a morning and afternoon practice. The 49ers will drive up the evening of Aug. 3 and will drive back after the afternoon session. Because the Raiders are hosting, the sessions will be closed to the public. But the media is allowed to attend. No word yet on where the 49ers will be staying in Napa ...
"This is an opportunity to work against some unfamiliar faces," Mike Nolan said in a release. "Players sometimes become comfortable with the level of competition during training camp. This gives us the opportunity to raise that level and learn more about ourselves both individually and collectively."
