The San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders released their Thursday practice participation reports, and there are some expected and unexpected changes. The full rundown is at the bottom, but in the meantime, here are some of the notable names.
The most notable piece of news would be the addition of linebacker Sio Moore. He has a hip injury that apparently happened in the last day. Head coach Tony Sparano said it kind of "crept up on him". Moore is the team's leading tackler as the weakside linebacker.
On the 49ers side of things, Vance McDonald, Anthony Davis, and Tramaine Brock all sat out again. At this point, I doubt any of the three is playing on Sunday. There is one more practice session, so we'll see if McDonald can get in some kind of work. Davis said he is still dealing with concussion symptoms, and Vic Fangio said Tramaine Brock was still struggling to get back on the practice field.
The good news for the 49ers is that Joe Staley appears to be back and good to go. He was sick, as Jim Harbaugh described him as throwing up yesterday. He sat out Wednesday, but was a full participant on Thursday. He was the only player whose status changed from Wednesday to Thursday. Friday will likely see Justin Smith listed as full, as he is now doing side work during Wednesday and Thursday practices.
