Deebo Samuel Sr. - Cleared for Super Bowl rematch Samuel (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact One of the toughest wide receivers in the league, Samuel never figured to miss a Super Bowl rematch (2x) with a wrist injury. He even shed his non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, and there could be a bit more weight placed on him and Brandon Aiyuk in the absence of No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings, who was ruled out Friday with a hip injury.

Jordan Mason - No injury designation Mason (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mason will return to his lead role in the San Francisco backfield after an AC joint sprain kept him off the field for all but one snap during the second half of last Thursday's win at Seattle. He's been practicing all week, albeit in a limited capacity while wearing a non-contact jersey. That does hint at some risk of complications/aggravations in-game, but the upside generally outweighs the downside risk when dealing with a player that's provided such strong production this season. Meanwhile, fellow 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) has yet to resume practicing.

49ers vs. Chiefs 2024 Prediction, Odds, Picks - Oct 20

Jauan Jennings - Misses another practice Jennings (hip) isn't practicing Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall (chest) has a shot to make his NFL regular-season debut, but the 49ers will probably favor veteran Chris Conley in the No. 3 receiver role if Jennings doesn't play this Sunday against the Chiefs. A third straight missed practice has Jennings trending toward his first absence of the season.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Deebo Samuel Sr. - No longer using non-contact jersey Samuel (wrist) isn't wearing a non-contact jersey during Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a strong hint he'll play Sunday against the Chiefs, although there's still some chance the 49ers give Samuel a game designation on their final injury report Friday afternoon/evening. It's hard to imagine Samuel missing a Super Bowl rematch with any wrist injury short of a broken bone.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Mason - Still using non-contact jersey Mason (shoulder) is practicing in a non-contact jersey Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's about the best fantasy managers could hope for, eight days after Mason suffered an AC joint sprain in last Thursday's 36-24 win over the Seahawks. Isaac Guerendo and Patrick Taylor split playing time with Mason getting just one snap after halftime, and one of the possibilities for the upcoming game against Kansas City is Mason being active but taking fewer touches than usual. Mason was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday and now appears likely to be listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Ricky Pearsall - Another full practice Thursday Pearsall (chest) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact As for the rest of the 49ers' receiving corps, Deebo Samuel (wrist) again was limited Thursday while wearing a blue non-contract jersey, and Jauan Jennings (hip) has yet to practice this week. That marks two of the team's top three wide receivers, which may spur San Francisco to get Pearsall back on the active roster for the first time since Sept. 2. Friday's injury report will unveil whether he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but the 49ers will need to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for the rookie first-round pick to have a chance to play this weekend.

Matthew Wright - Misses practice Thursday Wright (shoulder/back) did not participate at the 49ers' practice Thursday.

Impact Wright was forced to miss a second straight practice to open the week as he tends to shoulder and back injuries. The kicker injured himself making a tackle in San Francisco's win over the Seahawks in Week 6 and his availability for Week 7 is now in question. Wright will look to return to practice Friday, but if he can't go Sunday against Kansas City, Anders Carlson will likely be elevated to the active roster in his place. Typical starter Jake Moody (ankle) was also unavailable for Thursday's session and seems unlikely to go in Week 7.

Deebo Samuel Sr. - Limited again Thursday Samuel (wrist) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact A wrist injury has contained Samuel to a blue non-contact jersey during the first two sessions of Week 7 prep, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. There hasn't been any word that Samuel is in danger of missing Sunday's huge matchup with the Chiefs, but he may enter the weekend with a designation for that contest, which would be revealed on Friday's practice report.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Mason - Another limited showing Mason (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Mason continues to deal with the AC joint sprain that he suffered in his left shoulder last Thursday in Seattle. Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Mason has been wearing a blue non-contact jersey in practice this week, which resulted in a cap in his reps. Mason thus has only one more opportunity to get back to full participation Friday before the 49ers potentially hand him a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs. If Mason is at all inhibited or even sidelined this weekend, Isaac Guerendo would be the biggest beneficiary out of San Francisco's backfield, while Patrick Taylor likely would pick up a few touches along the way.

Jauan Jennings - No practice Thursday Jennings (hip) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.

Impact Meanwhile, fellow WR Deebo Samuel (wrist) was on the field Thursday but donning a blue non-contact jersey, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, indicating he'll go down as a limited participant for a second straight session. Jennings may be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Chiefs, with Friday's injury report potentially providing some clarity on the situation ahead of the weekend.
