Ward is expected to play in the Titans' preseason finale Friday versus the Vikings, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Ward and the rest of the starters are expected to participate for the third game in a row, according to head coach Brian Callahan. The quarterback has completed seven of 15 passes for 109 yards and no touchdowns over the first two preseason games, and he will likely be limited to just a few offensive possessions against Minnesota.

Bosa (neck) was limited to individual drills during Tuesday's training camp practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Bosa was held out of practice prior to sitting out of the 49ers' second preseason game at Las Vegas with neck soreness, and it still appears to be ailing him ahead of Saturday's preseason game versus the Chargers. As long as he's still sidelined, Sam Okuayinonu will be a contender for first-team reps on the edge.

Pinnock (heel) was limited to individual drills during Tuesday's training camp practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pinnock sat out the 49ers' second preseason game Saturday due to a lingering heel injury, and it's still bothering him ahead of Saturday's preseason contest versus the Chargers. As long as he remains sidelined during team drills, rookie fifth-rounder Marques Sigle figures to see increased activity.

Green (hamstring) participated during Tuesday's training camp practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Green suffered a hamstring injury earlier in training camp that kept him sidelined for a few weeks, but he now appears to be back to full strength as the regular season approaches. Unless he suffers some sort of setback, he projects to start at one of the 49ers corner spots come Week 1 at Seattle.

Moore (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, 93.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Moore departed an Aug. 10 practice early with an apparent right knee injury but later said he'd be fine. His return to practice suggests he's on track for the start of the regular season.

Pierce (groin) returned to practice Tuesday, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Pierce suffered a groin injury during an Aug. 10 practice and missed Saturday's preseason game. He's unlikely to play in the Colts' final preseason contest but looks to be on track for the start of the regular season.

Horton (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Horton is working through an ankle injury that he picked up during the Seahawks' preseason win over Kansas City this past Friday. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, as head coach Mike Macdonald said after the game that Horton could have returned to Friday's contest if needed. The rookie wideout's practice participation over the coming days will should determine his availability for the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Packers on Saturday.

The Cardinals waived Akharaiyi on Tuesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Akharaiyi has been cut three times in the past month, twice by Buffalo and now once by Arizona. The undrafted rookie out of Mississippi State has yet to play an offensive snap this preseason.

Ward suffered an apparent upper right arm or shoulder injury in Tuesday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Ward walked off the field with the training staff and headed indoors. Ward dealt with a shoulder injury toward the end of last season and missed Week 18. The Browns kick off the regular season in 19 days against the Bengals on Sept. 7.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that the 49ers aren't worried about Stout's (calf) availability for Week 1 against the Seahawks on Sept. 7, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Stout has missed both preseason games but did work out on the side of Monday's practice. It's unclear if Stout will be able to play in the preseason finale, but it does sound like he's nearing a return to team drills. Stout was a third-round pick out of Western Kentucky back in April.
