Morris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt versus the Raiders.

This will be the second straight absence for Morris, with a Week 8 bye sandwiched in between. He did manage a trio of limited practices this week and will look to return to action next Sunday versus Houston. Morris has played almost exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence probably won't have a major impact on the Jaguars' offensive game plan.

O'Connell (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

O'Connell has been sidelined all season while recovering from wrist surgery. He practiced fully all week but will not return Sunday, leaving Kenny Pickett as the Raiders' backup quarterback.

Patrick (groin) won't play Sunday against Las Vegas.

Patrick injured his groin against the Rams in Week 7. The Jaguars were on bye last week, but that didn't provide enough time for Patrick to fully recover, though he did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week. Austin Trammell was signed to the active roster off Jacksonville's practice squad Friday and could get some offensive snaps in Patrick's absence.

Pola-Mao does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Pola-Mao was limited in practice Thursday with knee and ankle injuries. However, he logged full sessions Wednesday and Friday and should be ready to play a key defensive role in Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

Butler (back) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Butler suffered a back injury early in Las Vegas' Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, but his absence will be limited to one game. He practiced in full Friday, suggesting he shouldn't be limited in Week 9 against Jacksonville.

Crosby does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Crosby suffered a knee injury in Week 7 but had a bye week to rest up prior to Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. He upgraded to a full session Friday and should be ready to play his typical snap rate in Week 9.

Stout (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Stout popped up on the injury report with a shoulder injury to begin the week after dealing with an ankle issue earlier in the season. He should be ready to take on his typical role as the 49ers' primary slot corner against the Giants on Sunday.

Johnson (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

The rookie second-rounder was able to play through a groin injury prior to the Week 8 bye, so it's unclear whether his limitations during Friday's practice were due to a setback or for maintenance purposes. Johnson's participation in Saturday's practice will provide more clarity on his status heading into Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Berrios (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Berrios has been given the all-clear to play Week 9 after logging a full practice Friday. He played a meaningful role on offense during the Texans' Week 8 win over the 49ers and finished with five catches on as many targets for 38 yards. However, Berrios will likely be limited to a role on special teams for Week 9 due to the returns of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring).

Surtain (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

The All-Pro corner sustained a pectoral injury during the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Cowboys, which carries a four-to-six week recovery timeline. Luca Evans of The Denver Post reported Wednesday that the Broncos aren't planning to place Surtain on injured reserve at this time in the hopes that he'll be available to return following the Week 12 bye. Ja'Quan McMillian appears to be the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Riley Moss in Surtain's absence, which gives Kris Abrams-Draine and rookie first-rounder Jahdae Barron the opportunity for an increased role at the slot corner position.
