The 49ers didn’t hold a practice Wednesday, but their estimated participation report revealed an improving injury situation heading into a Wee 17 showdown with the Seahawks in Seattle.

Perhaps the most notable names on the practice report were both on the defensive side of the ball. Safety Jaquiski Tartt was listed as a limited participant. Defensive lineman Jullian Taylor was a full participant.

Tartt has been dealing with broken ribs since Week 13 and hadn’t practiced in any of the three weeks following the injury he sustained against the Ravens. There was no official practice report Tuesday since the team isn’t required to issue one until Wednesday, but Tartt was spotted in a non-contact jersey by reporters during the open portion of Tuesday’s session.

Taylor was a limited participant last week while he dealt with an elbow injury that’s kept him out since the Baltimore game. His full participation estimation is a good sign that he’ll be ready to play against Seattle.

An extra player on the defensive line to take some snaps and give the starting group a few plays off could be key against a porous Seahawks offensive line.

While the 49ers’ injury problem isn’t perfect, especially with several key contributors and starters on Injured Reserve, it’s improving just in time for the most important game of the year. Winning Sunday would mean an extra week of rest to improve that injury situation even further.

Here’s the full estimated participation report from Wednesday:
