The San Francisco 49ers released their second practice participation report of the week, and there is one piece of positive news. Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley was listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. On Monday, he was listed as a DNP.
The 49ers had a walkthrough on Monday, so that participation report was simulated based on if it had been a normal session. The Tuesday report says it was another walkthrough, so this is also “simulated.” The short week has players getting a little more rest to get their bodies at least somewhat improved before Thursday’s game.
There is no word on the specifics of Kerley’s ankle injury, but given that he is the team’s leading receiver, it would help to have him out there this Thursday. Offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said Quinton Patton could also play some slot receiver.
DeForest Buckner and Jimmie Ward were both DNPs for the second straight practice. Jim O’Neil said Buckner was day-to-day and he was optimistic about Thursday, but I would be shocked if he played.
