The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 9 contest against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The 49ers held a walk-through on Tuesday and won't hold a full practice this week because of the limited time the team has to prepare.
"With these few days of rest, we really probably won't know on any of these guys until Thursday," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "We've got two practices and there won't be one full-speed practice. There's just not enough time for these guys to recover, so the first time we'll run full-speed is Thursday."
The beginning of Tuesday's walk-through was open to the media. Wednesday's session won't be.
Starting quarterback C.J. Beathard is dealing with injuries to his right wrist and thumb. He did not practice on Tuesday and will likely be a game-time decision.
"My wrist and thumb is kind of messed up," Beathard told reporters on Tuesday. "It's two days after the game, so, hopefully, tomorrow, it will feel a lot better."
Other Tuesday injury notes:
- Shanahan ruled out S Antone Exum for Thursday's game. He is in the concussion protocol and the short week will not give him enough time to be cleared.
- Shanahan said he would be surprised if WR Pierre Garçon could not play on Thursday.
Below are Tuesday's walk-through participation reports, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff and estimate which players would have participated had it been a full practice.

The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.
If Aiyuk is extended, it
On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…
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.

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting several draft prospects this week as the deadline for pre-draft visits draws near. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, the team will host former Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley on Wednesday.
Corley is expected to be a Day 2 pick. San Francisco owns two selections on Day 2—the No. 63 overall pick in the second round and the No. 94 overall pick in the third round. Currently, the receiver is visiting with the Seattle Seahawks.
