The San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills practiced today, and each released their first practice participation report of the week. As previously discussed, Jimmie Ward sat out Wednesday’s practice, and seems unlikely to play this weekend. That likely means Rashard Robinson will start again, and Keith Reaser gets extra playing time as the first cornerback off the bench.
One big piece of news was that DeForest Buckner was officially back in a limited capacity. It does not guarantee he plays this week, but it is progress after missing all three practices last week. Of course, Vance McDonald was limited in all three practices and did not play on Thursday.
