Jeremy Newberry will return to practice when the 49ers open training camp next week but he’s not getting his job as starting center back. The two-time Pro Bowl will be restricted to one workout per day. And because of that restricted regimen, Coach Mike Nolan has decided that Newberry will return as the No. 2 center behind Eric Heitmann, at least for now.
Nolan says he wants the line to build chemistry and continuity and the only way to do that, he feels, is by keeping together in a game the same players on the line who are practicing on a daily basis.
