San Francisco released Gage from its practice squad Wednesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the 49ers signed kicker Matt Gay to their practice squad. It seems like wideout Brandon Aiyuk (knee) should be available again soon for San Francisco, so there may not be as much desperation for depth at that position now as there was for much of the year up to this point. For his part, Gage will become an unrestricted free agent.

Hobbs (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Hobbs has missed each of the last two games with a knee sprain and has yet to practice. He'll have the next two days to increase his participation, though it wasn't a positive start to the week.

Bullard (ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Bullard played his typical allotment of defensive snaps in Week 11 against the Giants, so it's unclear when he suffered the injury. His status for a Week 12 matchup against the Vikings should become clearer in the next two days.

The Texans claimed Clark off waivers Wednesday.

Clark is headed to Houston after being waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday. The 25-year-old likely will serve as a reserve defender and can contribute on special teams as well.

Wright (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Wright was sidelined in Week 11 versus the Ravens with a quad injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Jets, and now his status for Week 12 is up in the air. If he can't get back to practice Thursday or Friday, it's not likely he'll have any chance to play Sunday at Las Vegas.

Glasgow (knee) was estimated to be a limited participant in Detroit's walkthrough practice Wednesday.

Glasgow was limited in practice throughout last week with a back injury, and it's currently unclear when he hurt his knee. If the 31-year-old manages to be a full participant in practice either Thursday or Friday, he should be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.

Laulu (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Laulu suffered a rib injury during the first quarter of Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys and was unable to return. His ability to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity is a sign that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, though his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Browns on Sunday. Thomas Booker would likely step into a starting role at defensive tackle alongside Adam Butler if Laulu were to miss time due to his injury.

Nixon (illness) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

There's no indication of how serious the illness is. Nixon's practice participation for the next two days should provide an indication of his availability in Week 12 against Minnesota.

Parsons (pectoral) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Parsons has been on the injury report with back and pectoral injuries for much of the season, but he has yet to miss any games. Barring a setback, he should be ready to suit up for a Week 12 matchup against the Vikings.

Decker (shoulder) was estimated to be a DNP at Detroit's walkthrough practice Wednesday.

Decker's absence is likely precautionary as he managed to play through the injury in the Week 11 loss versus Philadelphia. The 2016 first-round pick should thus be able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.
