MLB Jerseys China . -- Right tackle Anthony Davis sat down with 49ers general manager Trent Baalke for a productive discussion about his return to the team after a year-long retirement, and both men insist they have moved past any issues between them.Davis was reinstated by the NFL on Saturday and took part in his first practice Sunday after missing all of the offseason program under new coach Chip Kelly.On April 1, he posted on Twitter: Dealing with Trent is giving me a headache.You put all that stuff to rest. We had an excellent conversation, Baalke said Sunday. Everythings in actions. Words are words and AD and I have had a pretty good relationship, special relationship, dating back to 2010. Theres been times weve gone at it and he understands why and we move on. Everythings very positive at this point. Now its blending back in, going to work, and I think hes very prepared to do that.Baalke does encourage his players to be responsible when it comes to social media.We talked about everything man-to-man. Got passed it. And now were on the same page, Davis said.He was part of Baalkes first draft class after taking over as GM, selected 11th overall in 2010 out of Rutgers, and he became an immediate impact player. He has started all 71 games in which he has appeared, as well as eight playoff games.Davis also chatted with left tackle Joe Staley about a series of critical tweets last Nov. 28 several days after a 29-13 loss to the NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks. One post read: Cant be soft playing Oline, disrespecting the game. Im preparing my body to play my brand of football. Couldnt just go thru the motions.Staley said he welcomed back Davis and weve had all the conversations we need, while noting his teammate is fitter than Ive ever seen him.Im in the best shape Ive ever seen, too, he said.Davis said he weighs 332 pounds, way down from the 365-370 he played at during the 2014 season when he ended the year on the sideline because of a concussion. He said his symptoms were gone shortly into the offseason and he is completely healthy.Davis said he skipped the offseason with his team because he wasnt quite ready to return. He has been working on both the mental and physical sides of his game, and posted on social media he now meditates.Davis will have to earn his way back up San Franciscos depth chart at right tackle as he makes his comeback. Erik Pears and second-year pro Trent Brown have the head start at right tackle over Davis, who retired last June at age 25 after his 2014 season was cut short by a concussion.AD is going to start on the bottom, Kelly said. ... I told him hes got a blank slate, just like every other player and just like every other coach here. Were all new. I wasnt here in the past.Davis wore his familiar No. 76 jersey and shook hands before practice with new defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro.At one point Davis headed one direction with a group of players when center Marcus Martin hollered AD! AD! to get him back in the right place.At quarterback, neither Colin Kaepernick nor Blaine Gabbert can call himself the Niners No. 1 yet. They will be splitting first-team reps at the start of Kellys initial training camp in charge of the 49ers.Davis appeared agile and moved well through drills on Day 1 under cloudless skies Sunday morning in the Bay Area. General manager Trent Baalke stopped for a brief moment to intently watch Davis do some blocking.Kaepernick was a full participant as he works back following surgeries to his non-throwing shoulder, left knee and right thumb. He was accurate and confident all practice despite an interception by Keith Reaser.Kaepernick has gained back some important weight -- he never weighed in he got so light -- and said: I dont look like my high school self anymore. I feel like I look more like an adult now.He completed a pass of about 15 yards to DeAndrew White and hit Garrett Celek in exactly the right spot with his hands away from a defender.Baalke, who promoted Tom Gamble to assistant general manager, knows the pressure to win following a 5-11 season and second straight year out of the playoffs.If youre in the National Football League, youre in the hot seat, he said. Sometimes its a little hotter than others.Game notes LB Aaron Lynch said he appealed and lost a four-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Lynch, who entered the league already in its substance abuse program because of a failed drug test in college, said his infraction had to do with an unreadable specimen ... for drinking too much water. Baalke said the organization is disappointed along with Lynch, someone the GM has supported since the start. ... S Jaquiski Tartt went on the active/non-football injury list because of a quadriceps injury considered minor that might keep him out only a day or two, Kelly said. ... Baalke confirmed NT Ian Williams is rehabbing on site for yet another injury to his troublesome ankle, and he wont play this year.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys China .

PASADENA, Calif. -- Five years after Utah running back Joe Williams and UCLA quarterback Mike Fafaul left Fork Union Military Academy together, they both posted record-breaking performances on the same wild afternoon.Only Williams left the Rose Bowl happy with his effort -- and his decision to get back in the game with the Utes.Williams rushed for a school-record 332 yards and four touchdowns in his second game back from retirement, and No. 19 Utah held off pass-happy UCLA 52-45 Saturday.Williams broke off TD runs of 3, 43, 64 and 55 yards during the greatest rushing day in Utah (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12) history, surpassing Mike Andersons 1999 record, and the most prolific rushing performance ever by a UCLA opponent.Im pretty sure [the Bruins] are tired of seeing the back of my jersey running down the field, Williams said, giving the credit to his offensive line. Weve got five grown men out there that could be in the NFL tomorrow. Im just glad to be running behind them.Cory Butler-Byrd returned the opening kickoff for a 99-yard touchdown on a day of stunning superlatives for the Utes in their second straight win at the Rose Bowl.Williams quit football last month before returning last week when injuries decimated Utahs depth, and he has 511 yards on the ground in two games since.Its awesome, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. Weve had some really good running backs come through here, and played against some inferior teams (compared to UCLA). He broke the record of all-time, and weve had a bunch of guys in the NFL, running backs that have done a lot of great things.Williams broke Andersons Utah record shortly before shredding Edgerrin James record for a Bruins opponent on his fourth scoring run with 10:28 to play.That young man had a world-class day against us, and thats disappointing because weve been playing the run so well, UCLA coach Jim Mora said.Williams didnt get a chance after the game to talk to Fafaul, his former high school teammate in Virginia.Fafaul made his own history, setting UCLA records for pass attempts (70) and completions (40) while throwing for 464 yards, third most in school annals. Jerseys NFL Wholesale. UCLA essentially abandoned its awful running game, which began the weekend ranked 126th out of 128 FBS teams.We wanted to do something to help our run game and catch the defense off-guard, Fafaul said. Its not about the records or my performance. I just wanted a victory, and its really disappointing.The former walk-on had five touchdown passes and four interceptions for the Bruins (3-5, 1-4) in their fourth loss in five games.Fafaul was prolific but erratic in his second straight start in place of injured Josh Rosen, who went through warmups but didnt play. Fafaul had the third-biggest passing performance in UCLA history, trailing only 500-yard games by Cade McNown and Drew Olson.THE TAKEAWAYUtah: Williams ran wild on a record afternoon, but the ground game behind a dominant offensive line only lessens the sting for a Utah defense that got beaten for several big plays with poor tackling. Whittingham wont be happy about the Utes inability to limit a backup quarterback and an offense with no running game.UCLA: After struggling to run the ball all season, the Bruins abruptly reverted back to the spread passing offense run by departed offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. After running the ball just seven times in the first half, the Bruins didnt call another running play until the final snap of the third quarter. Its difficult from the standpoint that (the Utes) kind of know whats coming, Fafaul said.POLL IMPLICATIONSUtah: Injuries and defensive woes cant slow down the Utes, who appear to be Colorados biggest competition for the Pac-12 South title. The Utes should slide up a bit in the polls with a difficult late-season schedule looming.UP NEXTUtah: The Utes return home to host dominant Washington in one of the seasons biggest matchups in the topsy-turvy Pac-12.UCLA: After a bye, the Bruins continue chasing bowl eligibility with a Thursday night trip to suddenly powerful Colorado.
