The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 7 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Defensive end
Nick Bosa, tackle
Trent Williams, and safety
Jimmie Ward practiced on Wednesday. Bosa missed this past Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons due to a groin injury. Williams has not played or practiced since suffering a high-ankle sprain against the Denver Broncos in Week 3.
Ward returned from injured reserve during Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers and suffered a broken hand on the opening kickoff.
"
We're just going to see how it goes out there with his cast, and how he feels doing it, and what he can get away with, and be safe with, and still perform. So we'll see how it goes," head coach Kyle Shanahan responded when asked about Ward's chances of playing this weekend.
As expected, cornerback
Jason Verrett returned to practice after a minor setback in his return from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. He does not appear on the list below because he is not on the active roster yet.
Two players who suffered injuries against the Falcons, cornerback
Charvarius Ward and tackle
Mike McGlinchey, were among those who did not practice. In addition, safety
Talanoa Hufanga remains in the concussion protocol.
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Chiefs, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

The San Francisco 49ers concluded their 2022 season with a disheartening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, losing 31-7 and moving into offseason mode.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch conducted their postseason press conference on Wednesday, and they touched on a variety of intriguing topics, of which Trent Williams' retirement was one of notice.
When addressing the media for the final time earlier this week, Williams was hesitant to provide a definitive answer on his future, acknowledging
Jimmie Ward: 49ers' Kyle Shanahan said DB could "ride the bench" if he didn't want to play nickel
Defensive back Jimmie Ward was never one to hold back. He is scheduled to become a free agent after playing nickel in the San Francisco 49ers defense this season, a move from his previous and preferred safety spot.
Ward started the season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, missing the first four games. Then, he suffered a broken hand after returning in Week 5, missing the next game.
Strong play by safeties Talanoa Hufanga and Tashaun Gipson forced the 49ers to use Ward at the nickel cornerback position. However, the defensive back has made it clear he always preferred playing safety and even requested the 49ers move him back to his natural position.
That obviously did not happen.
