Davis (knee) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.

Davis has now been unavailable for each of the team's first two practices of the week, as he continues to nurse the knee injury he suffered in Week 3 against Denver. The wide receiver will have one more chance to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

Adkins (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Adkins was able to return to practice Thursday after suffering a concussion at some point during the team's Week 4 win over the Bengals. The tight end still needs to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday in Philadelphia.

Havenstein (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the 49ers.

Havenstein was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury that he may have aggravated during the Rams' Week 4 win over the Colts. Warren McClendon, D.J. Humphries and David Quessenberry are all candidates to fill in at right tackle in Havenstein's absence.

Ferguson is active for Thursday's game against the 49ers.

The rookie second-rounder has been a healthy scratch for the Rams' last two games, but he'll be active for Thursday's NFC West tilt due to the absence of Tyler Higbee (hip). With Higbee sidelined, Ferguson likely will operate as the team's TE3 behind Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson.

West (thumb) is active for Thursday's game against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

West underwent surgery to repair a thumb injury that he sustained during the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals. He was unable to play against the Jaguars on Sunday, but the rookie fourth-rounder has been cleared to play in Thursday's road tilt. West has two tackles (one solo) through the first three regular-season games of his NFL career.

James (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Thursday marks the fourth consecutive game that James has been a healthy scratch after missing Week 1 due to a finger injury. The 49ers will once again roll with a three-man backfield of Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo for Thursday's NFC West bout. James' next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless McCaffrey, Robinson or Guerendo were to miss time.

Higbee (hip) is listed as inactive Thursday against the 49ers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Despite playing through a hip injury this past Sunday versus the Colts, Higbee missed Tuesday's walkthrough and Wednesday's practice due to the same health concern and thus will sit out on a short week between games. Some combination of Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson and rookie second-round pick Terrance Ferguson will man tight end for the Rams in Week 5.

Anderson (rest) was not listed on the Texans' injury report for Thursday's practice.

Anderson was held out of Wednesday's practice for rest purposes, but the 2023 first-rounder is on track to play against the Ravens on Sunday. The third-year pass rusher has opened the regular season with 14 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across four games.

Awuzie (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Awuzie has missed the first two practices of the week due to a hamstring injury that he may have sustained during the Ravens' 37-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 4. He'll very likely have to practice in a least a limited fashion Friday to have a chance at playing against the Texans in Sunday's home tilt. With Awuzie, Marlon Humphrey (calf) and Nate Wiggins (elbow) all working through injuries, the Ravens may have to turn to some combination of Jaire Alexander, T.J. Tampa and Keyon Martin to fill the void at outside and slot corner.

Wiggins (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Wiggins appeared to suffer a severe elbow injury during the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs after he was carted off the field. He was unable to practice Wednesday, but his ability to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday is a sign that the injury is not as serious as once feared. Friday's practice report will provide insight on Wiggins' chances of suiting up for Sunday's home bout against the Texans. Jaire Alexander, T.J. Tampa and Keyon Martin could play a key role in the Ravens' secondary for Sunday's game if one or more of Wiggins, Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) and Marlon Humphrey (calf) were to be sidelined.
