Greenlaw (calf) is out for the rest of Sunday's outing against the Dolphins, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Greenlaw suffered a calf injury in the first quarter of Sunday's road game but not before logging one assisted tackle. The starting linebacker's next chance to see the field will be next Monday's Week 17 contest versus Detroit. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles or Jalen Graham will likely now have elevated playing time for the rest of the matchup.

Rotowire
Floyd (shoulder) is back on the field in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Floyd (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Floyd went down with a shoulder injury in the first half of the contest. Whether the 32-year-old defensive end returns is unknown, but he may be held out at least until the half. Yetur Gross-Matos will now likely fill in at defensive line for the veteran starter.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Goes down with calf injury
Rotowire
Greenlaw (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday afternoon's outing against the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Greenlaw went down with a right calf injury early in San Francisco's away game in Miami. As long as the starting linebacker is out of the game, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles or Jalen Graham will likely fill in.

49ers' Robert Beal: Won't play against Miami
Rotowire
Beal (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Beal popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to an ankle injury. The issue appears severe enough for the 2023 fifth-round pick to be sidelined for Sunday's game, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Lions on Monday, Dec. 30. Yetur Gross-Matos and Sam Okuayinonu will serve as the 49ers' rotational defensive ends behind starters Leonard Floyd and Nick Bosa.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Good to go against Dolphins
Rotowire
Greenlaw (Achilles/knee) is active for Sunday's game against Miami.
Greenlaw made his 2024 regular-season debut in Week 15 against the Rams and finished with eight tackles (three solo) while playing 30 snaps on defense. He was limited in practice all week due to lingering soreness in his Achilles and knee, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's contest and will start at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and Dee Winters.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Will play against Miami
Rotowire
Bosa (hip/oblique) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Bosa logged a LP/DNP/LP practice week while working through hip and oblique injuries, but the veteran pass rusher has done enough to be cleared for Sunday's game. He registered four tackles (two solo) during the 49ers' Week 15 loss to the Rams.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Could suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Bosa (hip/oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Bosa appeared to be trending toward not playing in Sunday's contest after downgrading from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday. The Ohio State product then practiced in a limited capacity again Friday, giving himself a chance to take the field Week 16. If he's unable to play through his hip and oblique injuries Sunday, Robert Beal (ankle, questionable) or Yetur Gross-Matos will likely start opposite Leonard Floyd.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Questionable for Week 16
Rotowire
Greenlaw (Achilles/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Greenlaw has been dealing with soreness following his 2024 regular-season debut in the Week 15 loss to the Rams, practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. The Arkansas product impressed in his return to the field, recording eight total tackles across 30 defensive snaps. However, if he's unable to play in Week 16, expect Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles to see increased work with the Niners' first-team defense.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Past chest injury
Rotowire
Mustapha (chest) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Mustapha upgraded to full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, so it appears he's moved past his chest injury in time to suit up in Week 16. With 2022 First-Team All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga back from injury, Mustapha is likely to serve as the 49ers' top reserve safety Sunday.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Bosa (oblique/hip) was a non-participant at the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Bosa was able to participate in a limited capacity to open the week Wednesday, taking a step backwards in his activity level just a day later. With the 49ers unlikely to make the postseason, the team will likely be very conservative with their superstar edge rusher. If Bosa can't go in Week 16, Yetur Gross-Matos and Robert Beal would stand to see an increase in workload Sunday versus the Dolphins.

49ers' Khalil Davis: Works past knee issue
Rotowire
Davis (knee) was not listed on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday.
Davis was unable to play in the 49ers' Week 15 loss to the Rams due to a knee injury. However, that no longer appears to be an issue for the veteran defensive tackle as he was a full participant in the 49ers' first official practice of the week. Unless he suffers a setback, Davis should be able to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins.

49ers' Dee Winters: Past neck issue
Rotowire
Winters (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Winters tweaked his neck during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams this past Sunday. The issue wasn't severe enough to limit his practice participation Wednesday, and barring any setbacks, Winters should be able to play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Still nursing chest injury
Rotowire
Mustapha (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Mustapha was unable to play against the Rams this past Thursday due to a chest injury. His limited participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he is progressing through his recovery, and he'll have two more chances to increase his activity ahead of Sunday's game against Miami.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Past groin injury
Rotowire
Brown (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Brown injured his groin during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams this past Thursday and finished with six tackles (four solo). It doesn't appear to be a lingering issue as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Brown should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Greenlaw (Achilles/knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Greenlaw made his 2024 regular-season debut this past Thursday against the Rams, playing 30 defensive snaps and logging eight tackles (three solo) in the process. It was his first game since he tore his Achilles during Super Bowll LVIII against the Chiefs in February, and he'll likely have his practice participation and snap count limited over the final three games of the regular season. As long as he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days, he should be able to play against Miami on Sunday.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Limited to open week

Bosa returned from a three-game absence to play in the 49ers' Week 15 loss to the Rams this past Thursday, finishing with four tackles (two solo) while playing 47 defensive snaps. He should be able to play against the Dolphins on Sunday unless he downgrades to a DNP over the next two days.

Colts' Ambry Thomas: Claimed by Indianapolis
Rotowire
The Colts claimed Thomas (forearm) off waivers Wednesday, Joel Erickson of IndyStar.com reports.
Thomas has been on injured reserve for the entire regular season after he broke his forearm in a preseason game against the Titans in August. He was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, but he has quickly found a new home with the Colts and will provide depth at linebacker behind Grant Stuard, Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed (knee).

Rotowire
Thomas (forearm) was released from the 49ers' injured reserve Tuesday.
Thomas has spent the entirety of the 2024 season on injured reserve with a broken forearm that he suffered in August. He will continue to focus on recovering from the injury, and, once healthy, the cornerback will shift his focus to finding his next opportunity in the league.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Solid day despite getting hurt
Rotowire
Brown (groin) recorded six tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 12-6 loss versus the Rams.
Brown picked up a groin issue in Week 15, but along the way, he also racked up six-plus tackles for the fourth time this season. If he's at full strength, he should start at safety next to Talanoa Hufanga in Week 16 at Miami.
