Newly acquired quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo stepped onto the practice field for the first time with his San Francisco 49ers teammates.
The 49ers sent a second-round pick to the New England Patriots on Monday in exchange for the quarterback.
While news of Garoppolo joining the 49ers has dominated the headlines this week, the team still has to prepare for a game. The 49ers will face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.

Right tackle Trent Brown told reporters that he is symptom-free from the concussion he suffered during a Week 7 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Brown, who was inactive during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, is still waiting to be medically cleared for a game but did participate in practice on Wednesday. He missed all of last week's practices. A little thin along the offensive line due to other injuries, the 49ers are hoping Brown can play on Sunday.
Left tackle Joe Staley, who was one of the offensive linemen injured against the Eagles, did not practice and is expected to miss at least a couple of games due to a fractured orbital bone.
Linebacker Reuben Foster (ribs), who was also inactive against Philadelphia, and running back Matt Breida (knee) practiced in blue no-contact jerseys.
After playing significant time at linebacker over the last two games, Eric Reid has returned to practicing with the safeties. The 49ers placed Jimmie Ward on injured reserve due to a fractured forearm suffered against the Eagles.
Below are the official Wednesday practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Cardinals, as provided by the 49ers Communications department.

49ers' Brandon Aiyuk seemingly celebrates news of Amon-Ra St. Brown's deal
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in high spirits, and it's no wonder why. He's well aware that his bank account is about to get a significant boost, one way or another.
Aiyuk posted a video to Instagram, showing himself dancing and seemingly celebrating the good fortune of one of his NFL peers. The Detroit Lions recently inked their star wideout, Amon-Ra St. Brown, to a lucrative four-year, $120 million contract extension. Aiyuk eagerly awaits his own deal from the 49ers and recognizes that the news out of Detroit will only strengthen his agent, Ryan Williams' hand at the negotiating table.

49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.

Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.

49ers add potential Trent Williams successor in latest NFL.com mock draft
Trent Williams will be 36 at the start of the 2024 NFL season. While retirement isn't on his mind just yet, the San Francisco 49ers must consider a succession plan for left tackle.
NFL Media's Bucky Brooks unveiled his final mock draft, projecting the San Francisco 49ers to select former Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan with the No. 31 overall pick as their eventual replacement for Williams.
"With Trent Williams entering the twilight of his career, the 49ers have to find an eventual replacement on the edge," Brooks noted. "Morgan is a sound blocker at the point of attack with diverse skills
