Gifford (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Saturday's NFC divisional-round tilt against Seattle, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Gifford was unable to play in the 49ers' wild-card win against the Eagles due to a quadriceps injury. He earned himself the questionable tag for Saturday after putting together a DNP-DNP-LP practice log, and his status may not be officially known until approximately 90 minutes before the 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, when San Francisco announces its inactive players. With Dee Winters (ankle) also questionable, Curtis Robinson and Garret Wallow could join Eric Kendricks as the 49ers' starting linebackers for the divisional round.

Winters (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Seahawks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Winters was limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury that prevented him from playing in the 49ers' wild-card win over the Eagles on Sunday. Luke Gifford (quadriceps) is also listed as questionable, so Garret Wallow and Curtis Robinson would be the top candidates to start alongside Eric Kendricks at linebacker if one or both of Winters and Gifford were to be sidelined.

Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Brown was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the 49ers' wild-card win over the Eagles on Sunday. With Brown sidelined, Marques Sigle figures to be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Malik Mustapha while Jason Pinnock and Siran Neal provide depth at the position.

Warner (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Warner was cleared to return to practice Tuesday and was a limited participant in all three sessions this past week. He isn't quite ready to be activated from injured reserve, though head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Thursday that he is "confident" that Warner would be cleared to play in the NFC Championship Game if the 49ers were to win Saturday, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic.

Tonga (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

A foot injury prevented Tonga from playing in the Patriots' last three games, including their wild-card round win over the Chargers this past Sunday. With a full practice under his belt, the fifth-year defensive tackle is on track to be available for Sunday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans. Tonga posted 24 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses across 14 regular-season games.

Jennings (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Jennings is progressing in his recovery from a concussion that led to him being placed on injured reserve in mid-December. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday, and his ability to participate without restriction Thursday is a sign that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. He would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to be available for Sunday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans.

Gonzalez (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Gonzalez's upgrade in practice participation indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol, which he entered following the Patriots' AFC wild-card round win over the Chargers this past Sunday. New England will host Houston on Sunday in the divisional round, and Gonzalez would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in that contest.

Darnold, who exited Thursday's practice early to undergo treatment on an oblique injury, plans to play in Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Darnold, who was deemed a limited participant in Thursday's session, officially is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but the QB noted after practice, "I feel good...in routes on air, I just felt a little something in my oblique. I just didn't want to push it. It wasn't the day to push it, so that was it. I came inside, got some rehab, and I feel like I'll be ready to go for Saturday." Moreover, when asked later what the likelihood of being unavailable this weekend was, Darnold said, "It's a very low percentage, probably closer to zero."

Mahomes, who underwent surgery in mid-December to repair the ACL and LCL ligaments in his left knee, said Thursday during a Zoom call that his injury rehab is "hitting all the checkpoints," the Associated Press reports.

With that in mind, Mahomes continues to target being ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, but given the timing of the QB's injury, such an outcome is hardly a lock. "I want to be ready for Week 1. The doctors said I could," Mahomes noted Thursday, "but I can't predict what happens throughout the process. That's the goal, to play Week 1 and have no restrictions. You want to be out there healthy and give us the best chance to win. I hope to do some things in OTAs and training camp and be able to do things there."

Jordan (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Jordan, who also was limited at practice Wednesday, missed this past Monday's wild-card win over the Steelers while dealing with a high-ankle sprain that he sustained Week 18. However, the running back's ability to practice both Wednesday and Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion, offers hope that he could return to action for Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Patriots. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Jordan heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to rejoin a Houston backfield that also includes Nick Chubb and is led by Woody Marks.
