Hargrave is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a chest injury.

Hargrave spent time in the medical tent with trainers to have the severity of his chest injury evaluated. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez should see an uptick in snaps on the defensive line for as long as Hargrave is out of the game.

Mayer exited Sunday's game against the Commanders to be evaluated for a head injury.

Prior to his departure, Mayer did not catch his only target in the contest. In his absence, Ian Thomas is available to back up top TE Brock Bowers.

Stingley is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a rib injury.

Stingley has gone to the locker room after suffering the injury late in the first quarter. Tremon Smith and Jalen Pitre should see more work at outside corner for as long is Stingley is out of Sunday's game.

Johnson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a neck injury.

Johnson went to the blue medical tent early in the first quarter to have his neck injury evaluated. Matt Pryor has come into the game at right tackle and will remain in the game for as long as Johnson is sidelined.

Tom is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to an oblique injury.

Tom entered the game nursing an oblique injury and appeared to aggravate the injury on the Packers' first offensive play of the first quarter. Jordan Morgan has entered the game at right tackle following Tom's exit.

Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Green Bay due to a knee injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Jones was hurt early in the contest and went to the locker room with team trainers. With Jack Conklin (elbow) inactive Sunday, the Browns have had to turn to KT Leveston at right tackle.

Jones will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals after the 49ers ruled out Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe).

Purdy did everything in his power to be available to the 49ers offense after missing just one game due to a turf toe variant and also an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. Having said that, his absence will extend to two contests, setting Jones up for another spot start under center. Working in place of Purdy last Sunday at New Orleans, Jones led San Francisco to a 26-21 win while completing 26 of 39 passes for 279 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, rushing six times for six yards and fumbling twice (one lost).

The 49ers downgraded Purdy (toe/shoulder) from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Though Purdy was a limited participant in practice throughout the week and is progressing more quickly than the 49ers anticipated in his recovery from turf toe as well as an AC joint sprain of his non-throwing shoulder, he'll end up missing a second straight game. Mac Jones will be in line for another start Sunday, but the 49ers have optimism that Purdy could be ready to return to the lineup for the team's Week 4 matchup with the Jaguars.

The 49ers downgraded Jennings (ankle/shoulder) from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

As expected, Jennings will end up missing his first game of the season after his pair of injuries prevented him from practicing in any capacity this week. With Jennings sidelined, Ricky Pearsall will be locked in as the No. 1 target for quarterback Mac Jones, who will make a second straight start in place of the injured Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder). Jennings' absence should also open up more reps and targets for wideouts Kendrick Bourne and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Zeitler is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts due to a biceps injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Zeitler managed to log a limited practice Thursday but was a DNP on Wednesday and Friday due to a biceps injury that he picked up during the Titans' Week 2 loss to the Rams. Blake Hance will likely serve as the Titans' starting right guard due to Zeitler's injury. Zeitler's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 28.
