The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Running back
Elijah Mitchell is making progress. He practiced today. However, he was limited and practiced in a blue no-contact jersey. Mitchell missed this past weekend's game against the Green Bay Packers after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 2.
Cornerback Josh Norman suffered a lung contusion against the Packers and was reportedly spitting up blood. Today, head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked if he still feels there is a chance that Norman might play this weekend.

"I have no idea with that," Shanahan responded. "He's got to pass some tests throughout the week. I know he wants to, he seems a lot better today, but he's got to pass a number of tests to be able to."
Cornerback K'Waun Williams is expected to be out for several weeks due to a calf injury. He did not practice. Defensive lineman Arik Armstead, who missed two practices last week, was limited in the other, but played on Sunday, was full-go today.
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Seahawks, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
