The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 8 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington.
Safety Jaquiski Tartt did not practice this week as he continues to recover from a groin injury. He has been listed as "doubtful" for Sunday. As has linebacker Kwon Alexander, who has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain during Week 5.
The 49ers' other starting safety, Jimmie Ward, has been listed as "questionable" to play due to a quadricep injury. Defensive lineman Kentavius Street shares the same status with Ward, but due to an illness. As is the protocol with any illness, he has one more COVID-19 test to pass before he can rejoin his teammates. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that will likely mean flying on his own to Seattle for Sunday's game.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Seahawks, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.

On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting several draft prospects this week as the deadline for pre-draft visits draws near. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, the team will host former Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley on Wednesday.
Corley is expected to be a Day 2 pick. San Francisco owns two selections on Day 2—the No. 63 overall pick in the second round and the No. 94 overall pick in the third round. Currently, the receiver is visiting with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
