Jobe (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Jobe has played the second most defensive snaps among Seattle cornerbacks through two weeks of the season, but his availability for Week 3 is now in doubt. He'll probably need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Witherspoon (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, coach Mike Macdonald expressed some optimism Monday that Witherspoon may be able to return from an MCL contusion in Week 3, but he still wasn't in football shape as of Wednesday. Unless he can return to practice Thursday or Friday, it's unlikely he'll be able to suit up Sunday versus the Saints.

Okudah (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Okudah was unavailable for the team's 22-6 loss to the Falcons in Week 2 while recovering from a concussion that he suffered in Week 1. His ability to log a full practice to open the week is a major step in his recovery, and the cornerback will have two more chances to build on Wednesday's session ahead of Sunday's matchup with Cincinnati.

Purdy (left shoulder/toe) officially was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Purdy fulfilled coach Kyle Shanahan's expectation for his activity level from earlier Wednesday, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. During the media-access portion of the session, Purdy was third in the QB rotation behind Mac Jones and Adrian Martinez, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, and he was seen making throws and also jogging on what has been described as a turf toe variant, per Branch. Purdy thus seemingly has a chance to return to action Sunday versus the Cardinals, but how he fares Thursday and Friday will be telling for his Week 3 availability. Mac Jones will continue to start as long as Purdy is sidelined.

Bartch (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bartch suffered an ankle injury in Week 2 that was originally expected to cost him a few games. He'll now be forced to miss the next four contests, potentially lining up seventh-round rookie Connor Colby to start at left guard for the 49ers.

Jackson (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Jackson appears to have picked up a hip injury in the team's 22-6 loss to Atlanta in Week 2. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll look to log a full practice session prior to Sunday's contest versus the Bengals.

Love (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Love played all 59 of Seattle's defensive snaps in Week 2, so it's not immediately clear when he picked up the hamstring issue. In any case, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance of playing Sunday versus the Saints.

Diggs (illness) was estimated as a DNP Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Diggs saw his snap rate jump to a normal level in Week 2 against the Giants, as he was on the field for 91 percent of defensive snaps. Though he begins the week unable to practice, there's no indication he's in danger of missing Dallas' Week 3 matchup against the Bears.

Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Jones played through the shoulder injury in Week 2 at Pittsburgh and ended up leading Seattle in tackles, so it's likely the team is just being extra cautious. He could probably avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend if he can manage a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Greenard (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Greenard appears to have left the team's 22-6 Week 2 loss to the Falcons a little worse for wear, popping up on the injury report Wednesday with an apparent oblique injury. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.
