RB Jordan Mason status unchanged in 49ers’ 2nd Week 7 practice

Jordan Mason is still limited. Here’s the full participation report:

There wasn’t much news on the San Francisco 49ers’ Thursday practice participation report, although there were a couple of minor changes from Wednesday’s session.

Running back Jordan Mason’s status is unchanged while he works through an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. He was limited again Thursday after a limited practice Wednesday. While a full participation would be ideal, no setbacks from a limited session is a good sign. Friday will provide a better look at his potential availability for Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here’s what Thursday’s participation report looked like:

Did not participate

WR Jauan Jennings (hip)
K Matthew Wright (shoulder, back)
K Jake Moody (ankle)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)

Givens is a new addition here after not showing up on Wednesday’s report. Going from a full participant to a non-participant in the middle of the week generally isn’t a great sign. There’s a chance the 49ers are just being cautious given some of their depth problems up front though. Jennings is working through a hip injury he suffered in Week 6. Any player missing Wednesday and Thursday aren’t typically in a good spot come Sunday.

Limited participation

DT Jordan Elliott (knee)
DT Maliek Collins (knee)

CB Darrell Luter (pelvis)
RB Jordan Mason (shoulder)
S Malik Mustapha (ankle)
WR Deebo Samuel (wrist)

Collins was a non-participant Wednesday, so his return as a limited participant Thursday is a plus. No setbacks across the board puts every player here on a potential track to return Sunday.

Full particiapation

LT Trent Williams (not injury related – resting player)
DE Leonard Floyd (not injury related – resting player)
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf)
WR Ricky Pearsall (chest)
CB Charvarius Ward (knee)

More good news with no setbacks here. Pearsall’s role remains unclear, but back-to-back days of full practice is a great sign.

49ers 1st Week 4 practice report highlights depth of injury woes

The 49ers practice participation report for Wednesday isn’t super fun.

The San Francisco 49ers’ injury situation isn’t getting better as the club prepares to face the New England Patriots in Week 4.

Their practice participation report featured a host of big-time names on top of the key players who are already slated to miss the contest.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel was among the non-participants. He’s on track to miss a second consecutive game because of a calf injury. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave was also a non-participant after suffering a partial triceps tear against the Rams. He’s expected to go on season-ending IR soon.

The good news is quarterback Brock Purdy was a full go after dealing with back soreness following Week 3. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who was questionable against the Los Angeles Rams with knee and hamstring injuries, wasn’t present on the report.

Here’s what Wednesday’s practice participation looked like:

Did not participate

DT Javon Hargrave (triceps)
WR Deebo Samuel (calf)
LT Trent Williams (illness)
LB Dee Winters (ankle)

Any time Williams is out it’s worth taking note of. Ideally his illness won’t hold him out of Sunday’s game. The other news here is that Winters is out. He returned in Week 3 from a preseason ankle injury, then quickly re-aggravated that ankle on the Rams’ fake punt. Winters could have a key role in the 49ers’ defense once he’s healthy.

Limited participation

TE George Kittle (hamstring)

A limited session is better than nothing for the All-Pro tight end. He was initially doubtful for Week 3 before getting ruled out Saturday. That the team didn’t immediately rule him out on Friday’s injury report is a good sign for his availability this week, but his status the rest of the week will give us a clearer picture.

Full participation

QB Brock Purdy (back)

It didn’t sound like this would be a huge issue when Shanahan announced it during Monday’s conference call. However, back injuries can be tricky so getting confirmation that Purdy was a full go is a good sign.
