San Francisco 49ers WR Torrey Smith (back) has missed two straight team practices this week. He spent Wednesday on the side field doing individual work.

OLB Aaron Lynch practiced today, but numerous members of the media noted that he did so while limping badly on his ankle.

DT Quinton Dial, bothered by his knee and neck, practiced. However, he was in a blue non-contact jersey for the start of practice.


Below are the Wednesday practice participation reports for both the New England Patriots and the 49ers. The two teams face each other on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.
