Gracen Halton shines in first preseason game with 49ers

Gracen Halton, a rookie defensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, showcased his skills in his first preseason game against Tennessee. In an impressive two-play sequence, he successfully sacked quarterback Cam Ward, though the play was called back due to a secondary penalty. Halton continued to make an impact by stopping running back Tyjae Spears for a loss. His performance reflects a solid summer of practice, drawing praise from teammates like left tackle Trent Williams. The 49ers are hopeful Halton will enhance their pass rush, which struggled last season. Other rookies, including Jalen Dugger and Ephesians Prysock, have also shown promise as the team prepares for the regular season.
