DANNY GRAY NEWS

Questionable to return Thursday Gray is questionable to return to Thursday Night Football against Seattle with a hamstring injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gray appears to have injured his hamstring during the second half, though it's unclear when or how this injury occurred. The rookie third-rounder made the first catch of his career during last week's 35-7 win over Tampa Bay, and he's seen sparse usage over nine games this season. With Gray sidelined for the time being, expect Willie Snead to step up into a bigger role after being elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's divisional matchup.

Makes first career reception Gray played 13 of the 49ers' 59 snaps on offense and finished with one catch for 10 yards on his lone target in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact After failing to haul in any of the six targets he drew over his eight NFL games, Gray finally came through with a reception in garbage time of the Week 14 contest. With Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle) exiting the contest with an injury that is expected to sideline him for around three weeks, Gray will be in line to suit up for Thursday's game in Seattle, but the rookie out of SMU isn't guaranteed to take on a major role. Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud are likely to serve as the 49ers' preferred wideout trio, and head coach Kyle Shanahan could also hand more reps to fullback Kyle Juszczyk or feature more two-tight end sets while Samuel is sidelined.

Turns in full practice Gray (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, 49ers Webzone reports.

Impact Gray hurt his ankle in warmups prior to Sunday's game against the Chargers and did not play a snap. However, he's now on track to return to the field Monday against Arizona after turning in the full practice Friday. He's battled a hip injury and illness as well this season, limiting him to only six targets -- and no catches -- across five games.

Records limited practice Thursday Gray (ankle) managed to log a limited practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Gray rolled his ankle ahead of the 49ers' Week 10 matchup with the Chargers and was unable to play. The receiver has yet to see double-digit snaps this season, so expect his role to remain limited even if the rookie is healthy.

May not miss time Gray is considered day-to-day after injuring his ankle in warmups Sunday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Gray ended up not playing a snap in Sunday's win over the Chargers, as he rolled his ankle during warmups. The rookie receiver has yet to carve out a steady role in the 49ers' offense, and he hasn't played more than seven snaps this season. He'll work to be ready Week 11 against the Cardinals.

Hurts ankle in warmups Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed after Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers that Gray rolled his ankle in pregame warm-ups, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Gray wasn't targeted in the game, though the rookie wasn't expected to play a significant role even when healthy. His practice participation will be worth monitoring ahead of the 49ers' Week 11 trip to Arizona for MNF.

Inactive Sunday Gray (coach's decision) will not play Sunday against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gray was dealing with an illness earlier this week, but he did clear his injury designation Thursday. However, the rookie receiver will give way to the veteran, Willie Snead against the Falcons.

Clear for Week 6 Gray (illness) practiced fully Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gray's reps were capped at Wednesday's session, so his return to all activity Thursday paves the way for him to be available Sunday in Atlanta. The rookie third-rounder has found little headway in his three appearances to date, failing to haul in any of his four targets while accumulating 20 offensive snaps.

Limited Wednesday Gray was limited during Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gray returned to action in Week 5 following a one-game absence due to a hip injury but failed to haul in either of his targets across seven offensive snaps. It appears the depth wideout has moved past the hip issue completely, but his availability for Week 6 may be impacted by his current aliment. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team has to make a decision on his status for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.

Suits up, two targets Gray (hip) failed to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 37-15 win over Carolina.

Impact Gray returned from a hip injury and logged seven offensive snaps while operating as the 49ers' fifth wideout. The deep threat has failed to catch any of his four targets in the three games he has been active for this season.

Back to full practice Gray (hip) practiced in full Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Gray didn't practice last week due to a hip injury and was given a doubtful designation for Monday's game against the Rams, for which he eventually was inactive. Now, though, the rookie third-round pick was able to handle every drill to begin Week 5 prep, setting him up to be available Sunday in Carolina. If Jauan Jennings (ankle), who was limited Wednesday, is at all inhibited this weekend, Gray could be in line for a bigger workload than normal.

Not playing Monday Gray (hip) is listed as inactive Monday against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact This more or less was expected after Gray didn't practice during Week 4 prep and was deemed doubtful to play. With the rookie third-round pick sidelined, Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray McCloud, Willie Snead and Malik Turner will be the 49ers' available wide receivers behind top options Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

Not likely against Rams Gray (hip) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Gray was unable to practice at all during the week, so it's likely he will miss the 49ers' Week 4 divisional showdown. He has been active for two of three games to this point and played a combined 13 offensive snaps while commanding two targets.

Doesn't practice Friday Gray (hip) didn't practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gray has missed back-to-back practices ahead of Week 4 due to a hip issue and will have just one more practice before the team needs to decide his status for Monday's contest against the Rams. The rookie third-round pick has played 13 offensive snaps over his first two games of the season, but he's failed to haul in either of his two targets, which both came in Week 2 against Seattle.

Dealing with hip injury Gray didn't practice Thursday due to a hip issue, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact During the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, Gray wasn't taking part while wearing a sleeve on his right leg, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Now that the reason for his absence is known, Gray's status bears monitoring ahead of Monday's game against the Rams. If he's able to play, the rookie third-round pick still is in search of his first career catch.

Totals 24 yards in preseason win Gray recorded two receptions on four targets for 24 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Vikings.

Impact Gray drew the second target of the game for San Francisco and tallied receptions of nine and 15 yards. The rookie third-round pick also converted a two-point conversion to put the 49ers up by seven early in the fourth quarter. Gray should be locked into a roster spot but is fighting for a regular role among the team's receiving corps.

Full practice Wednesday Gray (hip/back) returned to a full practice during Wednesday's joint session with the Vikings, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact In the wake of last Friday's preseason win against the Packers, coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area on Saturday that Gray was dealing with hip and back soreness, which was slated to sideline him for a few days. Gray proceeded to miss the 49ers' ensuing two practices before the team made the trip to Minnesota. During 7-on-7 drills Wednesday, the rookie third-round pick connected with Trey Lance on a deep ball down the right sideline, reminiscent of his 76-yard TD down the left sideline in the exhibition opener. Assuming he's back to 100 percent, Gray should get some run during Saturday's matchup with the Vikings.

Dealing with pair of injuries Coach Kyle Shanahan said Gray will miss a few days due to hip and back soreness, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Gray broke loose for a 76-yard touchdown down the left sideline during Friday's preseason win against the Packers, connecting with Trey Lance in the process. Overall, Gray hauled in two of four targets for 99 yards and the score. That said, the rookie third-round pick emerged with a pair of health concerns, which could impact his availability for upcoming joint practices with the Vikings and next Saturday's exhibition in Minnesota.

Scores 76-yard touchdown Friday Gray secured two of four targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 28-21 preseason win over the Packers on Friday night.

Impact Gray's yardage total paced the 49ers' pass catchers on the night, and he also recorded a game-long reception when he hauled in a 76-yard touchdown pass from Trey Lance late in the first quarter. The rookie third-round pick's 4.3 speed was evident on the splash play, and Gray will continue his bid to secure a potential No. 3 or No. 4 receiver role during a road preseason clash against the Vikings a week from Saturday night.
