Jimmy Garoppolo

LV Quarterback #10

Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) was officially “limited” in Thursday’s practice.

Garoppolo still officially remains in the concussion protocol, but this is a huge step in the right direction. He now has a realistic shot of suiting up against the Chargers’ awful defense. That would be much needed for Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, who would be in danger of withering with Brian Hoyer under center. Friday’s practice will be critical, but Garoppolo has until Saturday to get cleared.
Logan Thomas

WAS Tight End #82

Logan Thomas (concussion) was upgraded to “full” for Thursday’s practice.

After being limited Wednesday, Thomas is now on track to return against the Eagles after missing Week 3. Thomas was looking like a favorite target for struggling quarterback Sam Howell before going down. He has some compiling-based TE2 juice.
Breece Hall

NYJ Running Back #20

Breece Hall (knee) was upgraded to “full” for Thursday’s practice.

The Hall are continuing to limit Hall’s practice reps, but it’s not affecting him on Sundays. If only the same thing were true of his quarterback. With the Jets operating as huge home ‘dogs against the Chiefs, negative game script will take the day in New Jersey, making it difficult for Hall to get home as an RB2.
Brandon Aiyuk

SF Wide Receiver #11

Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) practiced on Thursday.

Aiyuk not only practiced on Thursday, but shed his blue non-contact jersey according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. With Deebo Samuel (ribs) sidelined to start the week, Aiyuk returning to action is all the more important for the 49ers. Aiyuk appears to be trending in the right direction heading into Week 4’s matchup against the Cardinals. If Samuel is unable to go, Aiyuk would have high-end WR2 upside.
Deebo Samuel

SF Wide Receiver #19

Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) did not practice on Thursday.

Samuel was ruled day-to-day by head coach Kyle Shanahan after the 49ers Week 3 win over the Giants, but Samuel has yet to participate in either of the team’s first two practices to open this week. If he’s unable to log a limited session on Friday, Samuel will be considered questionable at best heading into the weekend. We’ll check back in on Friday to see how the team lists him heading into Week 4. The team also listed Jauan Jennings as limited with a shoulder injury.
DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

DeVonta Smith (illness) did not practice on Thursday.

Smith wasn’t on Wednesday’s injury report, indicating this is something that arose over the last 24 hours. The Eagles play their Week 4 matchup on Sunday against the Commanders, giving him nearly three days to get right ahead of game day. Assuming he’s healthy, Smith will be on track for high-end WR2 week against the Commanders.
Cordarrelle Patterson

ATL Running Back #84

Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Patterson continues to practice, but has yet to play in a game this season. When Patterson makes his 2023 debut is anybody’s guess, but there are limited touches to go around even if he is active in Week 4 against the Jaguars.
Jonathan Mingo

CAR Wide Receiver #15

Jonathan Mingo (concussion) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Mingo has logged back-to-back limited practices to start the week and could be in good shape to play in Week 4 against the Vikings. He’ll still need to officially clear concussion protocol to be active, but it would appear Mingo is trending in the right direction. He shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a WR5 against the Vikings.
DJ Chark Jr.

CAR Wide Receiver #17

DJ Chark (hamstring) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Chark has played through this hamstring injury and there haven’t been any reports of a setback. It’s possible the team is continuing to ease him along to avoid any flare up that could cause him to miss time. We’ll assume Chark is good to go for Week 4 unless we hear otherwise. He’d be hard to trust as anything more than a WR4 against the Vikings.
David Bakhtiari

GB Tackle #69

Packers placed LT David Bakhtiari (knee) on injured reserve.

Bakhtiari will miss at least the next four games, but the veteran left tackle could be sidelined for much longer. Bakhtiari continues to be plagued by a leg injury suffered in 2020, and has appeared in just 13 games since 2021. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, it’s “unclear when or if Bakhtiari will return this season.”
