Breida (shoulder/ankle) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Though coach Kyle Shanahan labeled Breida as "doubtful" early last week, the running back turned the comment on its head, gaining clearance to play Monday at Green Bay while battling a lingering shoulder injury and sprained ankle. Looking spry as ever, Breida led 49ers running backs in carries (14) and offensive snaps (27 of 57), but the real surprise was Raheem Mostert (12 rushes, 23 offensive snaps) overtaking Alfred Morris (no touches on one offensive snap) as the No. 2 back. Breida's health appears to be in a better place than a week ago, but his status should continue to be monitored as the weekend approaches.
