The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens submitted their Thursday practice participation reports late yesterday, and the 49ers had some good news. Most notable was that Carlos Hyde returned after missing practice on Wednesday with a foot injury. He was listed as limited, but the fact that he practiced at all is good enough for me. My guess is he gets another limited session in on Friday, and then plays Sunday.
The other news was the return of Ahmad Brooks. The 49ers were without Brooks last week while he dealt with the death of his sister. He attended her funeral on Wednesday, and was back at practice on Thursday. It would seem to indicate he will be good to go this weekend. Corey Lemonier and Eli Harold split time at outside linebacker in his place this past week. It will be interesting to see if Lemonier is inactive this week with Brooks's return.
Vernon Davis got another limited session in on Thursday. He said he had a grade 1 MCL sprain, and here's hoping he actually gets back on the field in Week 6. At the very least, maybe he can boost his trade value!
