  • Bears' Joe Tryon-Shoyinka: Estimated as full participant

    Tryon-Shoyinka (concussion) was listed as a full participant in Chicago's practice estimate Wednesday.

    Tryon-Shoyinka has been sidelined since suffering a concussion during the Week 17 loss versus the 49ers but is seemingly trending toward making his return. However, the 2021 first-round pick will still need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Rams.

  • Alex Austin CB | NE

    Patriots' Alex Austin: Turns in full practice Wednesday

    Austin (wrist) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

    Austin practiced in full Wednesday for the first time since he was placed on New England's injured reserve list back in November. He still hasn't been fully activated from IR, but his recent activity signals he might be ready to play in the divisional round versus the Texans.

  • Seahawks' DeMarcus Lawrence: Full participant in practice

    Lawrence (Achilles) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Lawrence was upgraded to a full participant after being a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session. Even though the 33-year-old continues to battle an Achilles injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said he expects Lawrence to be good to go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the 49ers.

  • Morgan Moses OT | NE

    Patriots' Morgan Moses: Nursing knee injury

    Moses (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Moses played all 64 of New England's offensive snaps in the wild-card round, and it's not clear when he hurt his knee. Now, he'll likely have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Tyrice Knight LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Returns to practice

    Knight (shoulder) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Knight sat out Tuesday's practice with a shoulder injury but managed to make his return Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. With Ernest Jones dealing with an illness, the Seahawks are in danger of being shorthanded at inside linebacker for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers.

  • 49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Still tending to knee issue

    Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Gross-Matos has been playing through a lingering knee problem since Week 17 versus the Bears, and it's still bothering him as the 49ers continue their preparations for the divisional round. Barring any setbacks, though, he figures to continue to tough it out Saturday at Seattle.

  • Ernest Jones LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Dealing with illness

    Jones (illness) didn't participate in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Jones popped up on the injury report Wednesday but will look to be healthy in time for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers. While his availability in practice Thursday and Friday will provide more clarity toward his status for the game, Tyrice Knight (shoulder) and Patrick O'Connell would be in line for increased playing time if Jones ends up being unable to play.

  • Ji'Ayir Brown SAF | SF

    49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Unable to practice Wednesday

    Brown (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Brown was estimated as a non-participant when the 49ers started their preparations for the divisional round with a walkthrough practice Tuesday, and he couldn't take any reps when the club ran a full practice Wednesday. Unless he can get back on the practice field Thursday, he'll be on track to spend Saturday's game at Seattle on the sidelines.

  • Dee Winters LB | SF

    49ers' Dee Winters: Limited at Wednesday's practice

    Winters (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Winters was sidelined for the 49ers' wild card win at Philadelphia, and now his status for the divisional round against the Seahawks is in doubt. He'll probably have to participate fully at practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation when San Francisco releases its final practice report of the week.

  • Fred Warner MLB | SF

    49ers' Fred Warner: Manages limited practice Wednesday

    Warner (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Warner is not expected to return by Saturday for the divisional round against the Seahawks, but his activity at practice is an encouraging sign for his future availability if the 49ers manage to advance. With that said, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, Warner said Wednesday that, "We're taking it day by day," suggesting there is an outside chance he could play Saturday. For now, Garret Wallow and veteran Eric Kendricks remain San Francisco's top healthy options at linebacker.
