The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 12 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
While the Packers are entering the matchup in good health, the same can't be said of the 49ers. The list of players who did not practice on Wednesday is lengthy.
Among those sidelined are San Francisco's top pass catchers — tight end
George Kittle (knee, ankle) and wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and
Deebo Samuel (shoulder).
Sanders and Samuel are
expected to play on Sunday, even if they aren't 100-percent healthy, but head coach Kyle Shanahan insisted the two will be game-day decisions.
Kittle's status also won't be known until closer to kickoff. The Pro Bowl tight end hasn't practiced since suffering his injuries during Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Shanahan was asked how he would characterize Kittle's status this week.
"Better than last week but not good enough to practice today," he responded. "It's going to come down to the wire again. Hopefully, it will work out."
Running back Matt Breida (ankle), defensive end Dee Ford (quadricep, hamstring), kicker Robbie Gould (right quadricep), and tackle Joe Staley (finger) also did not practice.
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Packers, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

49ers offer Deebo Samuel assurances regarding roster status
Amidst swirling trade rumors surrounding Brandon Aiyuk, the speculation surrounding Deebo Samuel's future with the San Francisco 49ers seems to have quieted down.
According to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle, the 49ers have assured Samuel that he will not be involved in any pre- or post-draft transactions, ensuring his place on the roster for the time being.
"Samuel, who signed a three-year, $71.55 million extension before the 2022 season, has been assured by his bosses that he will not be dealt during or after the draft," Silver reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

49ers add pass rusher in new 7-round mock draft
Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team revealed his latest mock draft, which goes seven rounds deep and projects every selection for every NFL team. While most predict that the San Francisco 49ers will add an offensive lineman with their first selection, No. 31 overall, Mosher has the Bay Area team going in a different direction.
The writer and analyst has the Niners selecting former UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu in the first round.
"It wouldn't be a shock to see Laiatu Latu fall in the draft due to his medical history, but he is too good of a value to pass up here at No. 31," Mosher wrote. "The San Francisco 49ers have been searching for the right pass
