Cornerback Charvarius Ward returned to the practice field after suffering a groin injury against the Atlanta Falcons. The 49ers hope to have him available against his former team this weekend. He is "questionable" for the game.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga remains in the concussion protocol, still practicing in a blue no-contact jersey.
"He's got to pass one other step tomorrow," head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Friday's practice.
The 49ers don't plan to activate cornerback Jason Verrett from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list before Sunday.
"Verrett won't be up this week," Shanahan shared. "We've got to make a decision next week. He's still the same."
If the 49ers don't activate Verrett next week, the cornerback will remain on the PUP list, ending his season. Verrett is attempting to return from the ACL injury he suffered during Week 1 last year.
Not on the game status report were defensive end Nick Bosa (groin), tackle Trent Williams (ankle), and safety Jimmie Ward (hand). That means all three are expected to play.
