Burks (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Burks is mimicking his practice regimen from a week ago, when he kicked it off with back-to-back DNPs due to a foot issue. If he follows last week's regimen, he'll be limited Friday and enter the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. While playing through the injury this past Sunday against the Eagles, he tallied a 68 percent snap share and recorded three catches (on five targets) for 81 yards.

Shaheed (knee) didn't participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Shaheed has now missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to work his way back from the knee injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 8 loss to Chicago. The wide receiver's chances to play Sunday versus Arizona seem thin, so Tory Horton could serve as the team's No. 3 option at wide receiver again in Week 9.

Wilson (rest/ribs) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wilson continues to don a yellow non-contact jersey on the practice field as he deals with two broken ribs, so his activity level comes as no surprise. Friday's injury report will determine if Wilson enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, but he's already demonstrated an ability to play through the issue, notching a 79 percent snap share, reeling in eight of 15 targets for 111 yards and one touchdown and recording a 17-yard carry in this past Sunday's win in Dallas.

Thornton (back) was a limited participant at the Raiders' practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.

Thornton was added to the injury report with an apparent back injury after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The fact that the wide receiver was able to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, but he will have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Robinson (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Since the 49ers designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Robinson has logged back-to-back capped sessions. GM John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR radio that the 49ers expect Robinson to be available Sunday against the Raiders, which can't be said for fellow WRs Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Friday's injury report will reveal Robinson's odds to return this weekend, but he'll still need to be activated by Saturday afternoon to have a chance to do so.

Jennings (calf) was limited in Thursday's practice.

It's a new injury for Jennings, but he has an extra day to recover this week, as the Vikings play the Bills on Monday night. Jennings has six grabs for 54 yards on 10 targets across six games this season and is nowhere near fantasy relevance in his current role.

Kirk (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Kirk kicked off Week 9 prep with a limited session Wednesday due to a knee injury, so his downgrade one day later may be cause for concern. Friday's practice report could provide some clarity surrounding his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Samuel (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Prior to the 49ers' Week 8 bye, head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism that Samuel may be able to return in Week 9, but the tide turned Thursday, when GM told KNBR radio that the wide receiver isn't likely to play Sunday against the Raiders, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. With two DNPs under his belt so far and one more chance to practice Friday, Samuel appears to be in line for his third missed game in a row due to a right hamstring injury.

Evans (Achilles) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

After back-to-back DNPs to open Week 9 prep, Evans technically has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but GM John Lynch said on KNBR radio Thursday that the wide receiver likely won't be available Sunday versus the Raiders due to his lingering right Achilles issue, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. The 49ers may make a ruling on Evans' status as soon as they post Friday's injury report.

Wicks (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Wicks appears headed for a third straight absence Sunday against the Giants. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also continues to miss practice time. It could again be Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore at receiver for the Eagles in Week 9.
