The 49ers continued to practice without several key starters on Thursday. Defensive end Nick Bosa, tackle Trent Williams, and guard Aaron Banks were all absent for the second consecutive day this week. Banks remains in the concussion protocol, while Bosa and Williams have each missed the last two games due to injuries.
On Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism that Nick Bosa might play on Sunday. However, the pass rusher's chances diminish with each missed practice.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga, whose practice window was opened this week, and linebacker Dre Greenlaw, recovering from an Achilles injury, remained limited participants in practice.
The good news for the 49ers is that cornerback Deommodore Lenoir progressed from a limited participant in Wednesday's practice to a full participant on Thursday. Lenoir did not play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Below are Thursday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Bears, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
