On Wednesday, the only player who wasn’t practicing was wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who we already knew would miss time with a calf strain. That changed Thursday for the San Francisco 49ers, as two of their top players were absent.
Cornerback Charvarius Ward did not practice due to a knee and hamstring injury. Ward has been excellent through two games, picking up where he left off after an All-Pro season in 2023. If he cannot go, that would mean Deommodore Lenoir and Isaac Yiadom start, but Renardo Green would see an uptick in snaps after only playing a few snaps in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings.
