In a one-on-one drill Sunday, Kentavius Street lined up at left defensive end and bull-rushed right tackle Mike McGlinchey deep into the backfield.
It was latest show of strength for the 49ers defensive tackle, who has flexed his muscle in training camp after being slowed in his first two NFL seasons by a surgically repaired knee.
“He’s taken a step that nobody else in the (defensive line) room has taken,” nose tackle D.J. Jones said. “If he keeps going, there’s no ceiling.”
Street, who squatted 700 pounds at North Carolina State, tore his ACL in a workout about a month before the 49ers selected him in the fourth round in 2018. After missing his first season, he finished last year on injured reserve after playing 38 snaps in three games.
Street is part of a deep group of interior linemen, but he appears to have secured a 53-man roster spot with his performance this summer.
“I don’t think he’s thinking about that knee the way he’s playing,” Jones said. “The past couple years I’ve seen him hobbling around and getting treatment every day. I think he’s just happy to have that knee at full strength. … He’s balling right now.”
Injury report: Rookie defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw and linebackers Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw did not participate in practice, but defensive coordinator Robert Saleh indicated none of the players had serious injury issues.
“No, there’s not,” Saleh said. “Not from my understanding, anyway.”
Tight end George Kittle missed his third straight practice after he exited Tuesday’s session early. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has said Kittle has a “tight hamstring.”
