Lenoir (hip) was not listed on the 49er's injury report Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Lenoir was limited to just one preseason game due to a lingering hip injury that popped up in late July. He appears to be over the issue and is in line to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against Seattle. The 2021 fifth-rounder is expected to step up as the 49ers' top CB after Charvarius Ward signed with the Colts during the offseason.

Bosa (neck) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Neck soreness limited Bosa's practice participation during training camp. He appears to be past the issue and will have a clean bill of health entering Sunday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks. Bosa logged 52 tackles (33 solo), including 9.0 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games in 2024.

Jones (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jones missed the 49ers' preseason finale due to a knee sprain, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates it is no longer an issue. The 2021 first-rounder is slated to begin the season as the 49ers' backup quarterback behind Brock Purdy. Jones had the same role in Jacksonville last year behind Trevor Lawrence, but the former appeared in 10 regular-season games (seven starts) and completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 1,672 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions while rushing for 92 yards and one score on 28 carries.

Sneed (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Sneed underwent a cleanup procedure on his left knee during the offseason, and the Titans are closely managing the sixth-year corner's injury. Even if he's limited in practice Thursday and Friday, Sneed is expected to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Broncos.

Young exited New Orleans' practice Wednesday with a calf injury, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Young is currently undergoing further evaluations, but as of now the injury is not believed to be serious, and he should have a chance to play Sunday versus the Cardinals. If he ends up being sidelined, however, Chris Rumph will likely get the start at outside linebacker in Young's place.

The Steelers signed McCutcheon to their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Pittsburgh waived McCutcheon ahead of final roster cuts, but after a somewhat promising training camp, he'll now get to stay with the team as a member of the practice squad. The Steelers have one of the league's thinnest wide receiver groups behind DK Metcalf, so McCutcheon could be closer to the field than the average practice squad wideout.

Taylor (groin) was a limited participant in New Orleans' practice Wednesday.

Taylor is still dealing with a groin injury he picked up in August, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's season opener versus the Cardinals. He initially tried playing through the injury before consulting with the team's medical staff. He'll serve as one of the team's starting cornerbacks once healthy.

Sweat (tonsils) was not listed on the Titans' injury report Wednesday.

Sweat underwent surgery in mid-August to remove his tonsils, which caused him to miss the Titans' final two games of the preseason. He appears to have fully recovered from the procedure and is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Denver. The 2024 second-rounder finished his rookie season with 51 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

Sorrell (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Sorrell suffered a knee injury during the Packers' second preseason game at Indianapolis, and it's still bothering him wth the regular-season opener less than a week away. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Hobbs (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Hobbs underwent surgery a couple weeks into training camp to address a partially torn meniscus, and his availability for Week 1 is now in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the Lions.
