Overview
- Defensive end Nick Bosa was a limited participant in Wednesday practice and said he "feels great" and is ready to play, a key step toward possible availability for Sunday’s game.
- The 49ers opened 21-day injured-reserve practice windows Wednesday for wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and cornerback Nate Hobbs and listed both as limited participants while they are evaluated for activation.
- Running back Christian McCaffrey and receiver Mike Evans did not practice Wednesday with McCaffrey's hamstring left open for a limited session Thursday and Evans on a cautious program for Achilles and rib issues.
- DeForest Buckner, acquired from Indianapolis last week, practiced with the defensive line and could reunite with Bosa to strengthen the interior pass rush and run defense.
- San Francisco is using a deliberate, health-first approach that balances short-term game plans with long-term playoff goals and will decide final activations during the 21-day windows and late-week practices ahead of Sunday.
