San Francisco 49ers

Hobbs had his practice window opened Wednesday and logged three limited practices before initially being deemed questionable to face the Raiders on Sunday. Since he wasn't activated Saturday, the veteran cornerback will have to wait at least another week to return to action. Hobbs' next chance to do so is Sunday, Nov. 15, against Dallas.

Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports Kamara suffered a torn ACL. The undrafted free agent out of Indiana will now spend the duration of the 2026 season on IR unless he and the 49ers reach an injury settlement.

The linebacker signed with San Francisco on Aug. 17 and appeared to be healthy again after missing the end of the 2025 campaign with a knee issue. It's unclear if this injury is related. Dimukeje would need to reach an injury settlement with the 49ers to have a chance to play in 2026.

This move was anticipated, as Collins is set to miss the entire 2026 campaign as a result of tearing his patellar tendon during practice Tuesday. Osa Odighizuwa, CJ West and Gracen Halton should get plenty of reps at defensive tackle with Collins and Sam Okuayinonu (foot) sidelined.

West was placed on injured reserve in late September due to an undisclosed injury but is now nearing his return. Once the practice window is officially opened, San Francisco will have 21 days to activate the 2025 fourth-round pick, or else he'll be forced to stay on injured reserve for the remainder of the campaign.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday he hopes Okuayinonu can return near the end of the regular season, but it is unclear quite how long the recovery process will take. Okuayinonu previously had a plate in his foot, and the break occurred when it was stepped on during practice.

Martin opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during training camp in August. Shanahan said Martin is "getting close" to returning to practice, and if he's cleared for field work this week, his participation level will shed light on whether he'll play in Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19. The 2025 third-rounder logged 11 tackles (eight solo) and one fumble recovery across seven regular-season games during his rookie campaign, which he finished on injured reserve due to a concussion.

Pleasants sustained a knee injury during the 49ers' preseason game against the Chargers on Aug. 20. The injury is severe enough for 29-year-old offensive tackle to open the year on IR, meaning he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

The nature of Zakelj's injury is unclear, as is when he exactly picked up the injury. However, by being placed on IR without a designation to return, the 2022 sixth-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless he reached an injury settlement with San Francisco.

The team placed Tonges on injured reserve earlier Wednesday, and now it's official that he will miss the rest of the season. Tonges suffered an MCL tear in the season opener against the Rams. Jack Stoll was signed to the practice squad to add depth, and Luke Farrell now projects to be the second tight end behind George Kittle.

Kirk made his season debut in San Francisco's last game in Week 7 in Atlanta, going without a target on a 30 percent snap share. After a Week 8 bye, he showed up on the initial Week 9 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a knee injury, which head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed to be to the wide receiver's meniscus Friday, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Shanahan also relayed that Robinson may need surgery, but at the very least he'll miss the team's next four contests.

Stribling, who garnered his share of preseason fantasy buzz, was injured in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams, but it appears as though the wideout is making solid progress in his recovery. A firm timetable for the 2026 second-rounder's return to practice hasn't been outlined yet, but David Lombardi of SFStandard.com previously noted that Stribling (ankle) remains on track to return at some point in December, a notion supported by Barrows' report.

San Francisco GM John Lynch also made optimistic comments about Robinson, who was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday. With WRs Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out for at least one more week, Robinson would join Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing as the healthy wide receivers on the active roster. The 49ers need to activate Robinson by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to have him available for Sunday's home game against the Raiders.

The procedure typically carries a wide-ranging recovery timeline of 6-to-12 months, so while Pearsall will be ruled out for the season, it's not clear if he'll be available for the start of the 49ers' offseason program next spring or the start of training camp next summer. The wideout will wind up having played in just 20 of a possible 51 regular-season contests and one of two playoff games through his first three NFL campaigns, missing time as a rookie while recovering from a gunshot wound to the chest before being hampered by the PCL injury off and on in 2025. He'll turn 27 in September and will be entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2027.

Guerendo spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list and is seemingly not ready to take the field, so he will remain on PUP and will miss at least the first four weeks of the season. As such, Kaelon Black and Jordan James will open as the top two options behind starter Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed).

In what amounted to a procedural transaction after Aiyuk met with team officials Friday upon filing his paperwork for reinstatement, the 49ers now have until Nov. 23 to either add him to the 53-man roster, release him or trade him. Given that Aiyuk owes the 49ers roughly $13 million in bonus forfeiture, securing a release from the team could prove difficult, though it's possible that the two sides work out a repayment plan that would allow him to become a free agent. In addition to the financial complications potentially delaying Aiyuk's return to the field, it's unclear if the 49ers or any other team have interest in rostering the 28-year-old wideout, who hasn't played an NFL snap since tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee Oct. 20, 2024 and undergoing surgery.

questionable

Lenoir came away from San Francisco's victory over the Raiders in Week 9 with a foot injury, and now his status for Week 10 is uncertain. It will be worth keeping an eye on whether he's able to practice in full during the week, and the 49ers' first official injury report of the week Wednesday should give more context on his condition.

Robinson logged 45 defensive snaps over the course of the night, playing a whopping 74 percent of the 49ers' total defensive reps. The fourth-string cornerback may get a chance to play during the regular season if the injuries to Jack Jones (hand) and Nate Hobbs (groin) persist longer than expected.

Green sustained a back injury during San Francisco's win versus the Raiders in Week 9, and now his availability for Week 10 is in question. His activity at practice will be worth monitoring over the course of the week, and the 49ers' first official injury report of the week Wednesday should provide further insight into his status.

Williams likely sustained his knee injury in the 49ers' Week 6 win over the Commanders on Monday night. It is unclear how significant the defensive end's issue is. Still, he will need to achieve some level of practice participation by Friday to have any hope of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

It was Bosa's first practice since suffering a knee injury in Week 2 that has forced him to miss the last five contests. Coming out of the Week 8 bye, the Niners are getting healthy. In two games this season, Bosa has seven tackles (three solo) across 76 defensive snaps.

Thompson has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 against Miami, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the defensive lineman has "a chance" to play in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Commanders on Monday Night Football. Thompson has registered four total tackles (one solo) over two games this season.

Odighizuwa missed Wednesday's practice, but was promptly back in action for Thursday's session. The defensive end reclaimed his snaps with the first-team defense and looks to be over whatever was previously ailing him.

Juszczyk sat out San Francisco's Week 5 win over the Seahawks after injuring his knee in the Week 4 win over the Broncos. The standout fullback is ramping up in his recovery, but it's too early to say at this point if he will be available for Monday's game against the Commanders.

Per Wagoner, coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Jones has a chance to return to the field next week. For now, 2025 seventh-rounder Connor Colby could get some reps with the first-team offensive line.

questionable

Dugger appears to have picked up a knee injury in the 49ers' Week 6 win over the Commanders. The strongside linebacker's ability to practice in the first Week 7 prep session is a strong sign that he should be able to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Falcons. Dugger will likely need to upgrade to full participation by Friday's session to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game.

Williams was carted off the field and into the locker room during the third quarter, so he figures to be closer toward the doubtful side of returning to Sunday's contest. Vederian Lowe figures to take over at left tackle in Williams' absence.

The 49ers ended up trying out two kickers Saturday -- Greg Joseph and Younghoe Koo -- but won't sign either of them to the practice squad, meaning Pineiro will handle his normal placekicking duties in Week 2. In 15 regular-season games with San Francisco going back to the 2025 campaign, Pineiro has netted 30 of 32 field-goal attempts and 37 of 41 point-after tries.

McCaffrey followed up Wednesday's lack of activity with some on-field work one day later, but he may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He's tending to a left hamstring injury from a Week 7 loss in Atlanta, when he managed just a 52 percent snap share and churned out 100 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 13 touches.

James fractured his rib in late July and has still not recovered from the issue. Once healthy, the running back will have a chance to earn complementary work behind Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed), though as long as McCaffrey is available this season, he'll be busy, leaving limited touches for his backups. With fellow RB Kaelon Black (thigh) also not participating in Thursday's game, Patrick Taylor, Sincere McCormick, Khalil Herbert and Zamir White are on hand to absorb Thursday's carries in an effort to climb a depth chart littered with injuries before cutdown day.

Black should be fine to handle his normal role Sunday against the Seahawks as Christian McCaffrey's direct backup. The rookie running back has turned 20 carries into just 55 yards (2.75 YPC) over the last three games following a strong Week 1 debut in Australia against the Rams.

questionable

Sigle hasn't played since Week 4 due to a high ankle sprain. He started each of the first four games of the season and logged 26 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on 238 defensive snaps during that span. Sigle appears to be nearing a return to action.

questionable

The tight end caught one pass for seven yards before leaving the game. The 2023 seventh-round pick is fighting for a roster spot with backups Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell Willis has seen action in each of the last three seasons with the 49ers, primarily on special teams.

Kittle operated with a cap on his practice reps last week before returning to action just nine months removed from tearing his right Achilles in a wild-card win at Philadelphia. In the 49ers' Week 1 victory against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, he started, played 30 of 65 offensive snaps and gathered in two of five targets for 12 yards. San Francisco may continue to take it easy on Kittle in the early going with the long term in mind, but his status for game days doesn't appear to be in any question.

questionable

Per Wagoner, coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he expects Cowing to return to practice next week before the team travels to Australia for its regular-season debut against the Rams. In the meantime, 2025 fourth-rounder Jordan Watkins could be called on to perform punt-return duties with the first team.

questionable

The suspension stemmed from Greenlaw's actions during the 49ers' Week 5 win over the Seahawks, when he used his helmet to headbutt Ernest Jones during a skirmish on Seattle's sidelines. Greenlaw was unsuccessful in his appeal, so he'll be sidelined for San Francisco's Week 6 home game against the Commanders on Monday. With Garret Wallow (hamstring) facing a multi-game absence, Luke Gifford figures to step into a starting role at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and Jaden Dugger while Greenlaw is sidelined.

West was placed on injured reserve in late September due to an undisclosed injury but is now nearing his return.

Lenoir notched three solo tackles, one of which was for a loss, in the contest, but he didn't leave unscathed. Head coach Kyle Shanahan explained after the game that the cornerback hasn't been ruled out for Week 10, suggesting that Lenoir may have avoided a major injury. If he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Ashtyn Davis and Ephesians Prysock are both candidates to see increased workloads in the secondary.

Halton sustained a broken left ankle in the fourth quarter, and he is now set to miss the rest of the 2026 campaign. With Halton unavailable, Osa Odighizuwa and DeForest Buckner will operate as San Francisco's primary options at defensive tackle moving forward.

Evans is missing a second straight contest Sunday after aggravating a right Achilles injury during a Week 6 win against the Commanders. He hasn't been able to practice in the meantime, and while he's the type of player that doesn't require practice reps during the week to be available on game days, even work on the side Wednesday through Friday would be a welcome sign. In any case, with fellow WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) also sidelined this weekend and Christian Kirk (knee) being placed on IR on Saturday, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge are the options at the position to be active in Week 9.

Green sustained the injury in the second half of the victory, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that the cornerback has not been ruled out for Week 10, suggesting that the injury is relatively minor. Green's status at practice will be worth monitoring when San Francisco returns to the field Wednesday, and if he can't play against the Cowboys on Nov. 15, Ephesians Prysock would be a top candidate to draw a start at cornerback.

Per Wagoner, Aiyuk submitted paperwork to be reinstated to the NFL in late October, and since then both the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association have been involved in an attempt to reach a resolution that's agreeable to both the wide receiver and the 49ers. Tom Pelissero of Netflix reported Thursday that Aiyuk's efforts to secure his release may be hampered by the roughly $13 million in bonus forfeitures that he owes the team, which could mean arbitration comes into play and delays the process. Friday's meeting between Aiyuk, his agent Drew Rosenhaus and San Francisco brass was only the first step. If the sides reach an agreement, the 49ers will have three options: release Aiyuk, trade him before Tuesday's deadline or add him to their 53-man roster.

Kirk made his season debut in San Francisco's last game in Week 7 in Atlanta, going without a target on a 30 percent snap share. After a Week 8 bye, he showed up on the initial Week 9 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a knee injury, which head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed to be to the wide receiver's meniscus Friday, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Shanahan also relayed that Robinson may need surgery, but at the very least he'll miss the team's next four contests.

Hobbs had his practice window opened Wednesday and logged three limited practices before initially being deemed questionable to face the Raiders on Sunday. Since he wasn't activated Saturday, the veteran cornerback will have to wait at least another week to return to action. Hobbs' next chance to do so is Sunday, Nov. 15, against Dallas.

After opening the year on injured reserve with a calf injury, Kirk finally got healthy and played 20 snaps in a Week 7 loss to Atlanta. Other injuries at wide receiver opened up an opportunity, but now it seems Kirk is more likely to go back on IR than make an impact in the coming weeks.

With Samuel absent from the initial stage of practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday's and Thursday's sessions, he's trending toward an absence Sunday against the Raiders, as is fellow WR Mike Evans (Achilles). Confirmation of the duo's status is set to arrive later Friday once the 49ers' final Week 9 injury report is posted.

San Francisco GM John Lynch also made optimistic comments about Robinson, who was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday. With WRs Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out for at least one more week, Robinson would join Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing as the healthy wide receivers on the active roster. The 49ers need to activate Robinson by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to have him available for Sunday's home game against the Raiders.

GM John Lynch said on KNBR radio Thursday that Evans is unlikely to play in Week 9 due to the right Achilles injury he aggravated in Week 6 against the Commanders, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. After not practicing in any capacity Wednesday and Thursday, Evans indeed will miss a second consecutive contest. Fellow WRs Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Christian Kirk (knee) will join Evans on the sideline Sunday, leaving Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing as the only options at the position on the 49ers' active roster. The team also may activate Demarcus Robinson (ankle) from IR on Saturday after he was listed as questionable.

Hobbs was limited all week after the 49ers allowed him to return to practice Wednesday, and he's still on injured reserve going into the weekend. If he's not activated before Sunday's contest, rookie fourth-rounder Ephesians Prysock could remain a candidate for a few reps at cornerback in Week 9.

Pelissero notes that the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association are both involved in trying to reaching a resolution that is agreeable to both Aiyuk and the 49ers. It's possible that the embattled wideout could ultimately agree to pay back the money in order to potentially have an opportunity to move on with another club, but there's also a chance the issue goes to arbitration. Aiyuk is planning to show up at San Francisco's facility Friday, though that is unlikely to bring the matter to a close. In fact, it could take an extended period of time to sort out a path forward, especially if arbitration is brought into play.

Kirk kicked off Week 9 prep with a limited session Wednesday due to a knee injury, so his downgrade one day later may be cause for concern. Friday's practice report could provide some clarity surrounding his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

McCaffrey followed up Wednesday's lack of activity with some on-field work one day later, but he may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He's tending to a left hamstring injury from a Week 7 loss in Atlanta, when he managed just a 52 percent snap share and churned out 100 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 13 touches.

Prior to the 49ers' Week 8 bye, head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism that Samuel may be able to return in Week 9, but the tide turned Thursday, when GM told KNBR radio that the wide receiver isn't likely to play Sunday against the Raiders, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. With two DNPs under his belt so far and one more chance to practice Friday, Samuel appears to be in line for his third missed game in a row due to a right hamstring injury.

Since the 49ers designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Robinson has logged back-to-back capped sessions. GM John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR radio that the 49ers expect Robinson to be available Sunday against the Raiders, which can't be said for fellow WRs Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Friday's injury report will reveal Robinson's odds to return this weekend, but he'll still need to be activated by Saturday afternoon to have a chance to do so.

After back-to-back DNPs to open Week 9 prep, Evans technically has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but GM John Lynch said on KNBR radio Thursday that the wide receiver likely won't be available Sunday versus the Raiders due to his lingering right Achilles issue, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. The 49ers may make a ruling on Evans' status as soon as they post Friday's injury report.

Per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Aiyuk "is healthy and ready to get back on the field. Meanwhile, Schefter adds that once the wideout officially reports back to the 49ers, the team's options are to keep Aiyuk under his current contract, release him or look to move him ahead of this coming Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Given the moving parts involved, it remains to be seen when Aiyuk might return to the field in any locale, but depending on his health and conditioning level, the 2020 first-rounder could represent an intriguing option for a team looking to add WR depth to consider.

questionable

McCaffrey toughed out what eventually was revealed to be a mild left hamstring strain during a Week 7 loss in Atlanta, when he finished with 13 touches for 100 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. With the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he said Wednesday that he feels "great," but chances for on-field work await for him Thursday and Friday.

Samuel injured his right hamstring during a Week 5 win at Seattle, resulting in two missed games before the 49ers' Week 8 bye. Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area on Oct. 26 that Samuel has a chance to return this Sunday against the Raiders, but the wide receiver likely will need to practice in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday to put himself in a position to do so.

Sigle hasn't played since Week 4 due to a high ankle sprain. He started each of the first four games of the season and logged 26 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on 238 defensive snaps during that span. Sigle appears to be nearing a return to action.

Evans sat out a Week 7 loss in Atlanta after aggravating a right Achilles injury in Week 6 against the Commanders, and while there's an expectation that he'll be back after a Week 8 bye, he'll kick off this week with a DNP. He thus will have two more chances to mix into drills ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Raiders.

Hobbs went to IR with a groin injury prior to San Francisco's regular-season debut, but it now looks like he's getting close to returning to action. The 49ers will have 21 days to officially activate him before he'd have to remain on IR for the rest of the campaign.

It was Bosa's first practice since suffering a knee injury in Week 2 that has forced him to miss the last five contests. Coming out of the Week 8 bye, the Niners are getting healthy. In two games this season, Bosa has seven tackles (three solo) across 76 defensive snaps.

questionable

Aiyuk, 28, made his last NFL appearance Oct. 20, 2024, when he sustained multiple ligament tears in his right knee and required season-ending surgery. Though Aiyuk has likely been fully healthy for several months, his future in football has been murky due in part to his acrimonious relationship with the 49ers, who still hold his rights after placing him on the reserve/left squad list last December. GM John Lynch already announced back in January that Aiyuk wouldn't play for the 49ers again, but until the wideout formally files for reinstatement, he's unlikely to be traded or released. Aiyuk now appears to be willing to take that step, after previously indicating over the summer that he had no intention to apply for reinstatement.

Stribling, who garnered his share of preseason fantasy buzz, was injured in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams, but it appears as though the wideout is making solid progress in his recovery. A firm timetable for the 2026 second-rounder's return to practice hasn't been outlined yet, but David Lombardi of SFStandard.com previously noted that Stribling (ankle) remains on track to return at some point in December, a notion supported by Barrows' report.

After McCaffrey briefly exited Sunday's loss to Atlanta with what had been described as a thigh issue, this update offers more clarity on the injury and a favorable outlook. The timing of the 49ers' bye gives the veteran running back added recovery time ahead of their next game in Week 9 versus the Raiders, though his practice status will still be worth monitoring once San Francisco returns to work. Kaelon Black will be a priority add off waivers considering CMC's injury history.

All three of Mike Evans (Achilles), Samuel and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) are eyeing a Week 9 return against the Raiders, so the 49ers' wide receiver depth chart could look vastly different coming out of the bye. Samuel would likely go back to his part-time role, handling short-area passes and an occasional handoff or two. He's not a particularly exciting fantasy play when Evans, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) are all healthy.

Shanahan said the same thing 11 days ago, so the timeline appears to remain in place for Robinson, who suffered a high-ankle sprain way back in Week 2 against Miami. The Niners are expected to get plenty of reinforcements following their open date, and all three of Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Robinson could be among those returning for Week 9 against Las Vegas.

Stribling was injured in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams in Australia and remains on injured reserve. He missed a big opportunity for snaps and targets with the team dealing with so many injuries at the wide receiver position, but all indications are Stribling will be back for the stretch run and a possible trip to the playoffs.

After missing Sunday's game against the Falcons with the Achilles issue, Evans appears to be trending toward a return for San Francisco's next contest in Week 9 against the Raiders. Working as the Niners' big-play X receiver this season, Evans has been nearly unstoppable when healthy. Maintaining health has been his biggest issue. When on the field, Evans is a fantasy WR2 with WR1 upside.

A lingering knee injury has sidelined Bosa for each of the 49ers' last five games. He has yet to return to practice, but with San Francisco getting extra rest thanks to the bye, the veteran pass rusher could be available for Week 9. Bosa's return would result in less snaps being available on the edge for the likes of Romello Height, Mykel Williams, Ogbo Okoronkwo and Khalid Kareem.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said that Stout was only going to enter the game in an emergency scenario for the 49ers' secondary. The team hopes the Week 8 bye will allow Stout's shoulder sprain to fully heal ahead of the Week 9 showdown with the Raiders.

Kirk is expected to be activated from injured reserve Saturday, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, paving the way for the veteran wideout to make his 49ers debut Sunday. With Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) ruled out, San Francisco is desperate for healthy bodies at the position. Kirk should immediately slide in for significant snaps alongside Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks at wide receiver.

Samuel was always expected to miss multiple games, with the real question being whether he's ready after a Week 8 bye. He hasn't resumed practicing and will now miss a second straight game, which leaves Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Christian Kirk (calf) as San Francisco's top WR options in the absence of Mike Evans (out - Achilles).

Both Wallow and Luke Gifford (groin) are unavailable for Sunday's contest, leaving Tatum Bethune as the primary depth option at linebacker behind Jaden Dugger, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw. Wallow will have extra rest courtesy of the Week 8 bye, so he could be back for Week 9 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Gifford didn't practice during Week 7 prep due to a groin injury he picked up against the Commanders in Week 6. The 49ers have a bye for Week 8, so his next chance to play is Week 9 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8. Garret Wallow (hamstring) is also out, so Tatum Bethune is currently the lone depth option at linebacker ahead of Sunday's contest.

Sigle managed to upgrade to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing consecutive sessions to start Week 7 prep. The strong safety's last-minute upgrade in participation level was not enough to enable him to suit up for Sunday's game, leaving Malik Mustapha as a starter in the 49ers' secondary for a third consecutive week.

This comes as no surprise after Evans was unable to practice all week following Monday night's early departure against the Commanders. The Niners have a Week 8 bye, and the team hopes Evans will be able to be ready to return following that off week. San Francisco should get Christian Kirk (calf) back from injured reserve this Sunday. He'd join Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks atop the depth chart this weekend.

Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Bosa was "a little too optimistic" with his statement that he would be back before the bye, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reported Friday. The defensive end's chances to play were also diminished because Sunday's game in Atlanta is played on artificial turf. Bosa will continue to recover in anticipation of the 49ers' Week 9 matchup with the Raiders.

Stout logged consecutive DNPs to begin Week 7 prep before upgrading to a limited participant in Friday's session. The last-minute practice participation has given the cornerback a chance to recover from his AC joint issue in time for Sunday's contest, but it remains uncertain if the 24-year-old will suit up. If Stout cannot play, Ashtyn Davis will likely start at slot cornerback in his place.

Back-to-back full practices have Kirk trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. The 49ers have until Saturday to activate Kirk from IR ahead of Week 7 action, but if he's available this weekend he'd provide a boost to a WR corps dealing with injuries to both Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring).

Evans officially logged a second consecutive DNP after he made an early exit from Monday's win against the Commanders due to an aggravation of a right Achilles' injury, which head coach Kyle Shanahan has called soreness, per Wagoner. While Evans now has just one more chance to mix into drills this week, he's proved in the past that he doesn't require practice reps to be available on game days. Whether or not he has a chance to play Sunday in Atlanta will become known once the 49ers post their final Week 7 injury report Friday.

Bosa was unable to practice for the second straight day to open the week as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury that has sidelined him since Week 2. The defensive lineman is all but guaranteed to miss a fifth straight game Sunday versus the Falcons, but the team expressed optimism that Bosa could return to action Nov. 8 against the Raiders, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

questionable

The 49ers are coming off a Monday Night Football win and therefore are not holding an official practice Wednesday. That being said, coach Kyle Shanahan said that Samuel would not be practicing. Samuel is working his way back from a hamstring injury, and the sense is that a return after the 49ers' Week 8 bye is more realistic at this stage.

Dugger appears to have picked up a knee injury in the 49ers' Week 6 win over the Commanders. The strongside linebacker's ability to practice in the first Week 7 prep session is a strong sign that he should be able to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Falcons. Dugger will likely need to upgrade to full participation by Friday's session to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game.

Sigle has not practiced since being diagnosed as week-to-week with the high ankle sprain he sustained in the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Broncos. Wednesday's injury report signals that Malik Mustapha is once again taking first-team reps at strong safety in Sigle's place in anticipation of the team's Week 7 game against the Falcons.

Evans exited late in the first half of Monday's game against the Commanders and was quickly ruled out due to an Achilles injury that initially showed up during Week 6 prep. Shanahan told Wagoner afterward that Evans is dealing with right Achilles tendinitis, and while he doesn't believe it's a long-term concern, he also is hopeful the veteran wide receiver will be able to play Sunday in Atlanta. Evans already has proven he doesn't need much, if any, on-field work in a given week to be available on game day, but this particular occasion appears to be different.

Williams likely sustained his knee injury in the 49ers' Week 6 win over the Commanders on Monday night. It is unclear how significant the defensive end's issue is. Still, he will need to achieve some level of practice participation by Friday to have any hope of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Bosa remains sidelined with a calf injury he suffered during the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Dolphins. Coach Kyle Shanahan hopes Bosa will practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Shanahan's statement makes it seem like Bosa has an outside chance to play in Sunday's contest against the Falcons. If the defensive end cannot, he will have to wait until after the 49ers' Week 8 bye to return to the field.

Listed as questionable heading into Monday after failing to practice all week while nursing the Achilles issue in addition to fractured ribs, Evans suited up but lasted just two quarters before aggravating the Achilles injury. He still delivered for fantasy managers with three receptions for 94 yards on five targets, but the veteran wideout's latest setback on the health front could put him in danger of missing his first game of the season. Before deciding on Evans' status for Sunday's game, the 49ers will likely continue to rest him during practices throughout the week and see how he bounces back from the Achilles tendinitis. With a bye on tap in Week 8, the 49ers may be incentivized to hold Evans out against the Falcons to ensure he's in optimal health for the second half of the season.

questionable

Stout's practice reps during Week 6 prep were limited due to his shoulder injury. He was cleared to play Monday but was hampered by his injury, which led to Stout being replaced by Ashtyn Davis in the second half and finishing with two tackles over a season-low 25 snaps. Stout's practice participation over the coming days will provide some clarity on his status for Sunday's road game against the Falcons.

questionable

After having his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Kirk looked to have a realistic chance at returning from injured reserve in Week 6, especially in light of the depleted state of the 49ers receiving corps. However, with Kirk managing only limited participation from Thursday through Saturday, the 49ers will give him at least one more week to increase his practice activity before potentially bringing him back from IR. San Francisco will have Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) -- if active -- along with Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and Malik Turner as its options at receiver Monday.

Gifford likely picked up the injury at some point during the first half of Monday's game. He was working in an elevated role defensively due to the absences of Dre Greenlaw (suspension) and Garret Wallow (hamstring), so Tatum Bethune should see a larger workload on defense for as long as Gifford is out of the game.

Stout was limited throughout Week 6 prep with a shoulder injury he sustained in the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Broncos. The cornerback has recovered enough to suit up for Monday Night Football opposite fellow cornerback Renardo Green.

The 49ers officially listed Kirk as questionable for Week 6 after opening his practice window this week, which allowed him to log limited practices Thursday and Friday. Shanahan hinted Saturday that Kirk has a chance to make his 49ers debut Monday, and a call on that front could be contingent on the health of top wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles). With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) sidelined for the foreseeable future and three other WRs on IR, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the only healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Sigle is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered Week 4 versus Denver. The second-year safety missed this past Sunday's win over Seattle and is now set to sit out a second straight game. In Sigle's absence, Malik Mustapha will likely draw another start.

Evans worked to the side during each of the 49ers' last two practices while nursing injuries to his ribs and Achilles. That was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for MNF, and there's also a chance that Christian Kirk (calf) will be activated from injured reserve before the game, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Deebo Samuel (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and tight end George Kittle would all carry heaver workloads in the passing game if Evans joins Samuel on the sidelines for Week 6.

Williams made his season debut last Sunday against the Seahawks, recording a pair of tackles (one solo) on 36.5 percent of the defensive snaps. Working his way back to full strength off last season's torn ACL, Williams' role should continue to slowly grow over the next several weeks.

Though the decision was made not to put Bosa on IR, he's now set to miss his fourth straight game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said early this week that the veteran edge rusher had a chance to play against Washington, but Bosa didn't end up practicing at all. While it's not out of the question that he could return Week 7 in Atlanta, it wouldn't be surprising if San Francisco opts to hold Bosa out for that contest as well given that the 49ers have a bye Week 8.

Stout was limited in practice all week after he initially injured the shoulder in Week 4 against the Broncos. He's yet to miss a game this season. Across five appearances, the cornerback has 16 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass breakup.

questionable

The 49ers opened Kirk's practice window to return from injured reserve Thursday, which came only days after head coach Kyle Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com on Monday that the wide receiver was "unlikely" to practice this week. The team may have been spurred by the fact No. 1 WR Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles soreness in addition to sore ribs and Deebo Samuel's impending multi-week absence due to a strained right hamstring. In any case, San Francisco now has 21 days in which to evaluate Kirk before making a decision to bring him back to the active roster, but it remains uncertain if he has a chance to play Monday versus the Commanders.

questionable

It was reported earlier in the week that Samuel would miss multiple weeks; however, the 49ers are stopping short of placing him on injured reserve for the time being due to how the schedule sets up. Samuel is set to miss at least the Week 6 game against the Commanders and likely the following game against the Falcons before the team gets a bye. Week 9 seems to be the earliest potential return date for the veteran.

Robinson is on the mend from a right high-ankle sprain, which he sustained in the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Dolphins. The 49ers have a dire need for reinforcements at receiver with Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out through the bye and three other wideouts currently on IR, but unless he has his 21-day window opened next week and looks better than expected in practice, Robinson doesn't look like he'll be able to help the team until its Week 9 game versus the Raiders.

questionable

Juszczyk sat out San Francisco's Week 5 win over the Seahawks after injuring his knee in the Week 4 win over the Broncos. The standout fullback is ramping up in his recovery, but it's too early to say at this point if he will be available for Monday's game against the Commanders.

Evans has been tending to strained ribs since a Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals, playing through it the last two contests to the tune of a 12-189-1 line on 18 targets during that stretch. Shanahan attributes Thursday's absence to not only that, but what he calls Achilles soreness, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. The mere mention of Achilles can be concerning, but in the end, the situation will be monitored to see if Evans' status for Monday's game against the Commanders is at all threatened.

The suspension stemmed from Greenlaw's actions during the 49ers' Week 5 win over the Seahawks, when he used his helmet to headbutt Ernest Jones during a skirmish on Seattle's sidelines. Greenlaw was unsuccessful in his appeal, so he'll be sidelined for San Francisco's Week 6 home game against the Commanders on Monday. With Garret Wallow (hamstring) facing a multi-game absence, Luke Gifford figures to step into a starting role at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and Jaden Dugger while Greenlaw is sidelined.

The 49ers' wide receiver room is even more thin following the team's 32-29 win over the Seahawks on Sunday, when Deebo Samuel left the game due to a hamstring injury. Kirk opened the regular season on IR because of a calf issue that he sustained in late July, and while he has progressed in his recovery, he's not quite ready to return to practice. With both Samuel and Kirk sidelined, the 49ers will turn to one of Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing to operate as the WR2 behind Mike Evans.

Samuel underwent an MRI on his hamstring following Sunday's game, and the results showed an injury significant enough for the veteran wide receiver to miss multiple weeks. Given the timeline laid out by Shanahan, Samuel looks set to sit out in Week 6 against the Commanders and Week 7 in Atlanta before potentially returning following the team's Week 8 bye. Shanahan indicated that Christian Kirk (calf) won't be ready to return from injured reserve this week, so the 49ers likely will head into the matchup with Washington with Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins as their available options at receiver.

The suspension stems from an incident that occurred midway through the second quarter, when Greenlaw was involved in a skirmish on the Seattle sideline and used his helmet to headbutt the Seahawks' Ernest Jones, who wasn't wearing a helmet. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Greenlaw will appeal the suspension, but his history -- with the Broncos last season, he also received a one-game ban for unsportsmanlike conduct -- may work against him in getting the suspension overturned. Barring a successful appeal, the veteran linebacker will miss the 49ers' Week 6 game against the Commanders before returning to action Oct. 25 versus the Falcons.

Shanahan seemingly ruled out the reserve linebacker through the 49ers' Week 8 bye, with Wallow expected to sit out Week 6 versus the Commanders as well as Week 7 in Atlanta. Wallow has accrued seven tackles (five solo) this season while seeing the majority of his playing time on special teams.

Thompson has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 against Miami, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the defensive lineman has "a chance" to play in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Commanders on Monday Night Football. Thompson has registered four total tackles (one solo) over two games this season.

Juszczyk's practice participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether the veteran fullback will return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury he sustained during the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Broncos. The 49ers will continue to rely on tight ends like Brayden Willis for more snaps as blockers in Juszczyk's absence.

Bosa has missed the 49ers' last three games while tending to a calf injury. While he could return against Washington, Bosa's practice participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether he's cleared by medical staff to suit up. Mykel Williams and Romello Height will continue to get more reps at defensive end for as long as Bosa is sidelined.

Martin opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during training camp in August. Shanahan said Martin is "getting close" to returning to practice, and if he's cleared for field work this week, his participation level will shed light on whether he'll play in Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19. The 2025 third-rounder logged 11 tackles (eight solo) and one fumble recovery across seven regular-season games during his rookie campaign, which he finished on injured reserve due to a concussion.

Samuel exited Sunday's contest in the third quarter. The wide receiver caught two of his three targets for 21 yards and rushed twice for four yards before being ruled out. Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the four active wideouts remaining for the 49ers in Sunday's game.

Rourke is inactive but will not be the emergency third quarterback for the 49ers. The team seems content with Brock Purdy and Mac Jones and does not appear to need the "break-glass" button that the 49ers themselves voted to add during the 2023 offseason.

As expected, Thompson will miss a third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. He didn't practice during Week 5 prep, so he'll need to return to the field to have a realistic shot of being available for Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19. Naquan Jones and Sebastian Valdez will both see an uptick in rotational snaps at defensive tackle behind Osa Odighizuwa and Gracen Halton.

Bosa is hoping to suit up for the 49ers' Week 6 game against the Commanders, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. With the star defensive end still sidelined for the Week 5 divisional showdown, Ogbo Okoronkwo should start against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Stout is day-to-day with an AC joint sprain. The cornerback practiced in a limited capacity Thursday while missing the 49ers' Wednesday and Friday sessions. Stout has an outside chance to play in Sunday's contest, but with one limited practice session during the middle of the week, it is unlikely. If Stout does not play, Ephesians Prysock, Siran Neal or Jack Jones will likely start at slot cornerback against the Seahawks.

While Evans officially downgraded from Wednesday's limited session as he tends to a lingering rib injury, he was upbeat as he talked with reporters at his locker afterward. Friday's practice report will give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at Seattle, but his DNP on Thursday should be taken with a grain of salt considering he doesn't need many, if any, on-field reps to be available on game days.

Black should be fine to handle his normal role Sunday against the Seahawks as Christian McCaffrey's direct backup. The rookie running back has turned 20 carries into just 55 yards (2.75 YPC) over the last three games following a strong Week 1 debut in Australia against the Rams.

The veteran fullback can be safely ruled out for Sunday's game in Seattle, and while he appears likely to avoid a stint on injured reserve, he could be at risk of missing additional games beyond Week 5. Through the 49ers' first four games, Juszczyk has recorded four receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown on six targets while also filling a key blocking role.

With Evans managing the rib issue well enough to practice in a limited capacity after playing through it last Sunday, his status appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of the Niners' Week 5 date with the Seahawks. Evans has been dinged up seemingly all season already but has been productive through it all, catching 17 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns on 24 targets.

Stout missed time during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-14 win over the Broncos due to the shoulder issue, but he was able to check back into the game after receiving treatment. Though his practice participation could be affected by the injury in Week 5, the expectation is that he'll be ready to play this coming Sunday in Seattle.

Juszczyk recorded two catches for 28 yards on two targets before exiting early in the fourth quarter with the knee injury. Early evaluations of the fullback's knee have left the 49ers confident that his ACL is intact, but he'll undergo an MRI on Monday to provide more clarity on the extent of his injury. In any case, the 49ers seem to be bracing for Juszczyk to miss multiple weeks, with a stint on injured reserve potentially being on the table. While not typically a major part of the San Francisco passing attack, Juszczyk handles a critical role as a blocker, and his absence for any length of time may have negative consequences on the overall health of the offense.

Sigle sustained the injury late in the first quarter while on kickoff coverage and was not on the field for the 49ers' final defensive drive of the game. It wouldn't be surprising if the second-year pro goes on injured reserve, and in his absence, Malik Mustapha figures to be the next man up at safety next to Ji'Ayir Brown, with Siran Neal and Ashtyn Davis both providing depth at the position.

Shanahan reiterated that Kirk is unlikely to be back at practice next week but is aiming to start participating in sessions following the 49ers' Week 5 tilt against the Seahawks. Kirk opened the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained in training camp in late July. The 49ers' WR room has been decimated by injuries, with Kirk, Demarcus Robinson (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) all on IR, and veteran Mike Evans injured his ribs during a Week 3 win over the Cardinals. Given the timeline Shanahan provided, it seems Kirk could be available as soon as Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19.

Greenlaw sustained the injury early in the fourth quarter, and he's been off the field being monitored by training staff since his exit. Garret Wallow is in the game at weak-side linebacker in Greenlaw's absence.

Halton had to be helped off the field by trainers after sustaining an ankle injury, and he's been taken to the locker room for further evaluation. Naquan Jones, Kevin Givens and Sebastian Valdez are all in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Halton is out of the game.

Evans was ruled out of the game due to a rib injury after absorbing a big hit, but it sounds like the veteran wide receiver is also dealing with an oblique injury. Further clarification on Evans' status will surface before the 3-0 49ers host the Broncos in Week 4.

Williams was carted off the field and into the locker room during the third quarter, so he figures to be closer toward the doubtful side of returning to Sunday's contest. Vederian Lowe figures to take over at left tackle in Williams' absence.

Robinson was carted off the field due to a right ankle injury during San Francisco's Week 2 win against the Dolphins, after which coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that the wide receiver likely suffered a high-ankle sprain. On Monday, Shanahan said that Robinson was facing a recovery timeline of 3-to-6 weeks, so this move to injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. Robinson will be first eligible to return to action Sunday, Oct. 25 in Atlanta, but with all of Christian Kirk (calf), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Robinson on IR, the 49ers will be going with Mike Evans (hip), Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge at wide receiver this Sunday against the Cardinals.

It remains unclear what issue is sidelining the second-year player. West will now need to miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster. The defensive tackle has logged five tackles (one solo) over 49 defensive snaps in the 49ers' first two regular-season games.

Black popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited participant due to a groin injury, and he was given a questionable designation after getting in another limited session Friday. While there is reason to believe he will take the field Sunday, his availability will not be confirmed until the 49ers release their inactives 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Stribling suffered what appeared to be a serious non-contact injury during the 49ers' Week 1 win against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, but afterward tests revealed that his left Achilles was intact, and eventually he was diagnosed with a deltoid sprain of his left ankle. After undergoing surgery, he's expected to miss roughly 10 weeks, meaning a move to IR was inevitable. At least during the initial weeks of Stribling's absence, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge will handle WR duties for San Francisco.

The 49ers ended up trying out two kickers Saturday -- Greg Joseph and Younghoe Koo -- but won't sign either of them to the practice squad, meaning Pineiro will handle his normal placekicking duties in Week 2. In 15 regular-season games with San Francisco going back to the 2025 campaign, Pineiro has netted 30 of 32 field-goal attempts and 37 of 41 point-after tries.

Stribling wasn't able to return to the 49ers' Week 1 win against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, after appearing to pick up a non-contact injury to his lower left leg. He eventually was diagnosed with an ankle injury after his Achilles was shown to be intact, but he'll need some time on the sideline. Once he's on IR, Stribling will be required to miss at least the next four games, meaning his next chance for game action would be Monday, Oct. 19, versus the Commanders.

It's not clear exactly what kind of sickness Pineiro is dealing with, but he does have until Sunday to get better. His status will still be worth keeping an eye on when San Francisco publishes its Thursday and Friday injury reports, as the team does not carry another kicker on its active roster or its practice squad.

Kittle operated with a cap on his practice reps last week before returning to action just nine months removed from tearing his right Achilles in a wild-card win at Philadelphia. In the 49ers' Week 1 victory against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, he started, played 30 of 65 offensive snaps and gathered in two of five targets for 12 yards. San Francisco may continue to take it easy on Kittle in the early going with the long term in mind, but his status for game days doesn't appear to be in any question.

The team placed Tonges on injured reserve earlier Wednesday, and now it's official that he will miss the rest of the season. Tonges suffered an MCL tear in the season opener against the Rams. Jack Stoll was signed to the practice squad to add depth, and Luke Farrell now projects to be the second tight end behind George Kittle.

Stribling saw plenty of playing time early in his NFL debut during Thursday's 27-7 win over the Rams, drawing no targets but taking the field for 21 of the team's first 26 offensive snaps before going down with an injury. Initial tests ruled out an Achilles injury for Stribling, but the second-round rookie will still require some down time as a result of the ankle sprain. According to Rapoport, Stribling is seeking multiple medical opinions on his injury, and while surgery isn't yet planned, the 49ers haven't dismissed the possibility of the wideout needing an operation. The 49ers will likely hold off on placing Stribling on injured reserve until a decision is made on a treatment plan.

Tonges hobbled off with the assistance of trainers in the second quarter against Los Angeles and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He now appears to be looking at an extended absence. Luke Farrell soaked up the TE2 snaps behind George Kittle following Tonges' departure.

This move was anticipated, as Collins is set to miss the entire 2026 campaign as a result of tearing his patellar tendon during practice Tuesday. Osa Odighizuwa, CJ West and Gracen Halton should get plenty of reps at defensive tackle with Collins and Sam Okuayinonu (foot) sidelined.

McCaffrey wasn't spotted taking part in the early portion of practice Monday, so his presence on the field in full uniform Tuesday is a promising sign for his potential availability for the 49ers' season opener against the Rams. It's been a bit of a mysterious several weeks for McCaffrey, as he was described as dealing with "tightness" in early August and didn't play at all in the preseason while being an inconsistent participant in team drills. San Francisco's injury reports this week should shed some light on McCaffrey's status for the matchup against Los Angeles, but to this point he seems more likely than not to play in that contest.

Earlier in the day, 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said of Kittle: "Super impressed with how he's looked considering the injury and how quick he got back on the field. It's cool to me to see how Kittle looks ... Workload will be determined," per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. While that doesn't fully confirm that the star tight end will be ready to play in the season opener against the Rams, the fact that the team seems to be focused on Kittle's gameday workload, rather than his general playing status, suggests that he's more likely than not to suit up. Kubiak did give the caveat that Kittle will need to get through San Francisco's final practices before a decision is ultimately made, and the club's injury reports this week should shed further light on Kittle's level of participation in practice as well as his outlook for the Friday (local time) NFC West clash.

The practice session is technically taking placing Tuesday afternoon in Melbourne local time, but regardless, Stribling's participation is a positive sign as he looks to rebound from a minor shoulder injury. It remains to be seen what the rookie wideout's level of practice participation will be, but to this point there hasn't been any indication that he's in any danger of missing the season opener versus the Rams. Stribling appears in line for a big role in San Francisco's offense as one of the team's top three wideouts alongside veterans Mike Evans (adductor) and Deebo Samuel.

Wagoner notes that linebacker Nick Bosa (knee) and running back Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) were the only 49ers players who didn't appear to be mixing into team drills during the open portion of practice, so Evans appears likely to have been at least a limited participant in Monday's session. The 49ers will release their first injury report of the season later Monday, when the extent of Evans' practice participation will be revealed. Evans had his practice activity managed for much of training camp while he contended with a minor quadriceps strain and, more recently, an adductor injury.

Bosa has been continuing the rehab on his right knee after undergoing surgery for a torn ACL last September. The star edge rusher traveled with the 49ers to Melbourne, Australia ahead of Thursday's season opener, but his status had been uncertain entering the week. Morris seemed to confirm that Bosa will play while speaking to reporters in Melbourne on Tuesday (local time), saying of Bosa, "Oh, he's going out there. Whatever you want to say, he's going. He'll be there. We're not hiding that."

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday he hopes Okuayinonu can return near the end of the regular season, but it is unclear quite how long the recovery process will take. Okuayinonu previously had a plate in his foot, and the break occurred when it was stepped on during practice.

Juszczyk continues to manage the finger injury he sustained in early August. The full return to practice after Tuesday's missed session likely means the team allowed the fullback some sort of vet rest, and he did not miss Tuesday for any worsening injury.

Hobbs injured his groin during a joint practice with the Titans in mid-August, and it was reported at the time by Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area that the 2021 fifth-rounder would miss a few weeks. Hobbs will be required to miss at least four games, so the earliest he can make his 2026 regular-season debut is Week 5 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 11. With Hobbs sidelined, Siran Neal and Jack Jones will serve as the 49ers' depth options at cornerback behind Renardo Green (hamstring) and Deommodore Lenoir.

Martin had been dealing with a hamstring injury recently that will now force him to miss the start of the regular season. The 23-year-old will be sidelined for at least four games before he's eligible to be designated to return.

Pleasants sustained a knee injury during the 49ers' preseason game against the Chargers on Aug. 20. The injury is severe enough for 29-year-old offensive tackle to open the year on IR, meaning he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

Toth missed most of training camp due to a concussion, an issue which prevented him from playing in the Eagles' wild-card loss to the 49ers in January. Because there was no designation to return attached to his placement on IR, Toth will be required to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the 49ers.

Williams is still recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in November 2025, and he was unable to practice or play during the preseason. The 22-year-old will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season, and the earliest he'll be able to return to action is Week 5 against the Seahawks on Oct. 11.

The nature of Zakelj's injury is unclear, as is when he exactly picked up the injury. However, by being placed on IR without a designation to return, the 2022 sixth-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless he reached an injury settlement with San Francisco.

Kirk missed the entirety of the preseason after suffering a calf injury at practice July 26, and he will now be forced to sit out at least four contests to open the regular season. The wide receiver signed with San Francisco in the offseason, and he was expected to occupy a prominent role on offense. In his absence, rookie wideout De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) will have a chance to be an impact player in his NFL debut Week 1 against the Rams in Australia.

With Kittle having been activated from the active/PUP list last Sunday and reportedly avoiding setbacks in his recovery from a torn Achilles, he appears to be trending in the right direction for Week 1. His practice workload this week should offer the clearest indication yet of whether San Francisco's starting tight end will be ready for the opener. Should Kittle indeed be able to suit up versus the Rams, it would mean he'd return to game action almost exactly eight months after he tore his Achilles on Jan. 11 in a wild-card win over Philadelphia.

Guerendo spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list and is seemingly not ready to take the field, so he will remain on PUP and will miss at least the first four weeks of the season. As such, Kaelon Black and Jordan James will open as the top two options behind starter Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed).

The tight end caught one pass for seven yards before leaving the game. The 2023 seventh-round pick is fighting for a roster spot with backups Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell Willis has seen action in each of the last three seasons with the 49ers, primarily on special teams.

Stribling seemingly came out of preseason Week 2 action with a minor shoulder injury, but he was able to mix back into drills as of Sunday while wearing a non-contact jersey. Considering he showed out in the 49ers' first two exhibitions with a combined 11 catches for 109 yards, the team will rest him along with other key members of the receiving corps. Stribling will set his sights on getting healthy for a Week 1 matchup with the Rams in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, Sept. 10

The cornerback recorded one solo tackle before exiting. Prysock was selected by the 49ers in the fourth round of April's draft and is competing for a depth role on defense.

The linebacker signed with San Francisco on Aug. 17 and appeared to be healthy again after missing the end of the 2025 campaign with a knee issue. It's unclear if this injury is related. Dimukeje would need to reach an injury settlement with the 49ers to have a chance to play in 2026.

Evans has missed a bunch of practice time during training camp. first dealing with a quad issue before coming down with a groin injury earlier this week. While he's aiming to be ready for Week 1, Evans and Brock Purdy haven't had much time to work on their chemistry. At 33 years old with a checkered injury history, Evans is shaping up as a boom-or-bust fantasy pick headed into the season.

Per Wagoner, coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he expects Cowing to return to practice next week before the team travels to Australia for its regular-season debut against the Rams. In the meantime, 2025 fourth-rounder Jordan Watkins could be called on to perform punt-return duties with the first team.

Rourke suffered three broken ribs during San Francisco's preseason opener versus the Titans, but it seems like the injury may not keep the quarterback on the sidelines much longer. Until Rourke is healthy again, Adrian Martinez still projects as the 49ers' third signal-caller behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones.

Per Wagoner, coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Jones has a chance to return to the field next week. For now, 2025 seventh-rounder Connor Colby could get some reps with the first-team offensive line.

Per Wagoner, coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he expects Stout to be back at practice next week before the team goes to Australia for its regular-season debut against the Rams. For now, free-agent acquisition Jack Jones and Darrell Luter are candidates to take any reps in the secondary left on the table.

McCaffrey returned to practice and participated in team drills Sunday after he had been sitting out with general "tightness" of late. The 30-year-old running back added Sunday that the media attention around his absence was a "firestorm" and that his plan all along was 8-to-10 practices to ramp up, a break and then another ramp up in advance of Week 1, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. McCaffrey recorded a career-high 311 carries for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games last year. San Francisco will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Height likely picked up an injury during Saturday's practice session. The third-round rookie tallied one tackle in Thursday's preseason win over the Chargers and is set to be a reserve piece on the edge throughout the 2026 season.

Kirk has been tending to a calf injury since July 26 and hasn't mixed back into drills in the meantime. There seemingly is a chance he kicks off the season on injured reserve, but he could change the tune by returning to practice or suiting up for Thursday's preseason game in Las Vegas. With all of Mike Evans (quad), rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) and Ricky Pearsall (knee, IR) banged up at the moment, Deebo Samuel, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing are the top healthy and available wide receivers for the 49ers.

Martin is once again dealing with an injury, as he had suffered a stinger during the team's preseason opener versus the Titans last week. The 23-year-old is competing for a depth linebacker role with the 49ers.

The 2026 second-round pick led the 49ers in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets to Jordan Watkins. Stribling finished his college career with back-to-back 800-yard seasons, and Ricky Pearsall's season-ending knee injury opens up plenty of opportunity for the rookie to make a significant first-year impact. Stribling is also currently benefiting from Christian Kirk's lingering calf injury, and the former's performance in his NFL debut certainly helps buttress his case for consistent opportunity right from the onset of his first season.

Robinson logged 45 defensive snaps over the course of the night, playing a whopping 74 percent of the 49ers' total defensive reps. The fourth-string cornerback may get a chance to play during the regular season if the injuries to Jack Jones (hand) and Nate Hobbs (groin) persist longer than expected.

Kirk will spend Thursday night's contest out of uniform on the sideline as he continues to deal with the calf injury he sustained in late July. Once healthy, Kirk will look look to solidify his standing in a 49ers' WR corps that also features Mike Evans (quad), Deebo Samuel and De'Zhaun Stribling. The 29-year-old is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 28 catches (on 52 targets) for 239 yards and one touchdown across 13 games with the Texans.

James fractured his rib in late July and has still not recovered from the issue. Once healthy, the running back will have a chance to earn complementary work behind Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed), though as long as McCaffrey is available this season, he'll be busy, leaving limited touches for his backups. With fellow RB Kaelon Black (thigh) also not participating in Thursday's game, Patrick Taylor, Sincere McCormick, Khalil Herbert and Zamir White are on hand to absorb Thursday's carries in an effort to climb a depth chart littered with injuries before cutdown day.

Black is competing for one of the relief running back roles behind Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed), so the sooner the 2026 third-rounder gets back on the field, the better. With primary competition Jordan James (ribs) also out for Thursday's game, Patrick Taylor, Sincere McCormick, Khalil Herbert and Zamir White will get a chance to prove they should be in the conversation for spots on the 53-man roster.

Evans has been dealing with a minor quad strain for the past week and returned to practice Tuesday. Considering his veteran status and recent injury, it's not surprising to see Evans in street clothes for the exhibition with Tennessee. As long as he avoids setbacks, Evans should be ready to rock for the Niners' Week 1 regular-season opener against the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

The procedure typically carries a wide-ranging recovery timeline of 6-to-12 months, so while Pearsall will be ruled out for the season, it's not clear if he'll be available for the start of the 49ers' offseason program next spring or the start of training camp next summer. The wideout will wind up having played in just 20 of a possible 51 regular-season contests and one of two playoff games through his first three NFL campaigns, missing time as a rookie while recovering from a gunshot wound to the chest before being hampered by the PCL injury off and on in 2025. He'll turn 27 in September and will be entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2027.

Evans has been sidelined since last Monday due to a strained quad, but the 49ers have downplayed the injury all along. After a week off, he appears poised to mix back in Tuesday. Considering the cautious approach the team has taken with Evans, he may not have received clearance for all drills, and it remains to be seen if he'll be allowed to suit up for Thursday's preseason game.

Bosa avoided the active/PUP list at the start of training camp, but his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in Week 3 of last season is ongoing. He's made three or fewer appearances in two of his pro campaigns but played between 14 and 17 regular-season contests in the other five, racking up at least 9.0 sacks in each of them while topping out at 18.5 in 2022.

According to Wagoner, it was the most extensive work Kittle has done at practice this summer, as he continues to work his way back from a torn Achilles. Kittle remains on the active/PUP list for San Francisco, but he's continued to say he's on track to play Week 1 against the Rams in 31 days. He'll turn 33 years old in two months but figures to remain a red-zone presence for Brock Purdy. Kittle is no longer a top-tier fantasy tight end, but he should be productive when on the field in an efficient 49ers offense.

With Ricky Pearsall (knee, IR) out for the season, Kirk is a candidate to be involved early and often in the 49ers' passing game in his first season with the club, but a calf injury has kept him out of drills for nearly two weeks. Fellow WRs Mike Evans (quadriceps) and Jacob Cowing (hip) also sat out Saturday, so the current top healthy options at the position are Deebo Samuel, rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Watkins.

It's an encouraging sign for the rookie second-rounder, whose practice reps have been limited this past week while he's been recovering from a hamstring injury. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) out for the 2026 season, Stribling will have the opportunity to earn a consistent role for himself in the 49ers' offense, even with veterans Mike Evans (quad), Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk (calf) ahead of him on the wide receiver depth chart. The absences of both Evans and Kirk give Stribling the chance to showcase his skills with the first-team offense alongside Samuel.

Odighizuwa missed Wednesday's practice, but was promptly back in action for Thursday's session. The defensive end reclaimed his snaps with the first-team defense and looks to be over whatever was previously ailing him.

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Prem Ramkumar told the San Francisco Chronicle that there's not enough data on similar surgeries to confidently predict whether Pearsall will regain his pre-injury form in 2027. That also explains why rehab estimates have been so broad, with one report suggesting "6-12 months" as the timeline for Pearsall's return. Having undergone surgery in early August, the wideout has 13 months to prepare for Week 1 of 2027 -- right around the time he'll celebrate his 27th birthday.

Black now is one of three 49ers running backs tending to a health concern -- also, Jordan James (ribs) and Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) -- leaving Patrick Taylor, Sincere McCormick and Khalil Herbert to handle reps behind No. 1 option Christian McCaffrey. A third-round pick in this year's draft, Black will have a prime chance to compete for the direct backup role once he's healthy, especially since James is out indefinitely with fractured ribs.

Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports Kamara suffered a torn ACL. The undrafted free agent out of Indiana will now spend the duration of the 2026 season on IR unless he and the 49ers reach an injury settlement.
