Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

He hasn't practiced or played since Week 4, and the 49ers haven't provided much information beyond listing him as such on the final injury report. They did elect not to place Pearsall on injured reserve, hinting at a week-to-week outlook even though he's now been out for more than a month. In any case, the continued absences from practice don't bode well for a Week 9 appearance this Sunday at the Giants.

Okonkwo (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Okonkwo put together a solid performance during Tennessee's loss to the Colts in Week 8, securing four of five targets for 53 yards, but he appears to have picked up a foot injury in the process. The starting tight end will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. If Okonkwo is limited in any capacity versus Los Angeles, or even unavailable, rookie fourth-round pick Gunnar Helm will stand to see a notable uptick in opportunities.

Wicks (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Wicks missed a Week 8 win over the Steelers after hurting his calf Week 7 at Arizona. He may not have much of a role even when he's healthy, as the Packers just got Christian Watson back in the lineup and then saw him put up 84 yards in his first game of the year.

Mooney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

After missing Week 6 with a hamstring injury, Mooney has topped an 80 percent offensive snap share in back-to-back games, albeit with just nine targets and 79 yards in that time. His projection for Week 9 at New England partially depends on the health of QB Michael Penix (knee) and WR Drake London (hip), both of whom missed the Week 8 loss to Miami.

Pitts was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

It's a new injury after Pitts handled his normal workload in a 34-10 loss to Miami on Sunday, catching each of his nine targets for 59 yards while handling a 92 percent snap share and 100 percent route share. WR Drake London (hip), WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) and QB Michael Penix (knee) also were limited in practice Wednesday.

Hill (ankle) did not practice Wednesday and is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury, the severity of which has also prevented him from practicing in any capacity. With Hill unavailable versus Baltimore, Tanner Conner will be positioned to start at tight end for the Dolphins while Greg Dulcich handles No. 2 duties. Hill's next opportunity to get back on the field will arrive Sunday, Nov. 9 versus the Bills in Week 10.

Jacobs (calf) was limited in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

For a second week in a row, Jacobs is kicking it off with a cap on his reps due to a lingering calf injury. However, he was able to suit up this past Sunday at Pittsburgh and log a 54 percent snap share on his way to 16 touches for 45 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. Jacobs will have two more chances to get back to all activity this week before the Packers potentially clear him again ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Jackson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game at Miami.

The Ravens listed Jackson as a full practice participant Monday through Wednesday, with the QB saying Tuesday that he's "100 percent healthy" and ready to play. The final injury report confirms that Jackson will suit up for the first time since Week 4, facing a Miami defense that shut down the Falcons this past Sunday after struggling mightily for most of September and October.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (toe) is expected to be limited at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The ever-elusive full practice for Purdy has yet to occur since he aggravated a turf toe injury in his last appearance Week 4. Having said that, Shanahan told Wagoner on Monday, "I don't think it's a long shot. We'll see how he's doing Wednesday." Another capped session Wednesday would indicate Purdy still has to prove the health of his toe before being cleared to return to action, and with fill-in QB Mac Jones also dealing with a knee contusion this week, the situation under center in San Francisco remains in flux ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Gay (back) will not practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Gay was a late scratch for Washington's loss to the Chiefs on Monday, which prompted the team to sign Matthew Wright to the practice squad and elevate him for game day. Wright did not attempt a field goal and made his only extra-point try during the loss to Kansas City, and he'll stand to be elevated again versus the Seahawks on Sunday if Gay isn't able to return to full health in time to play Week 9.
