Wide receiver Deebo Samuel continues to work through rib and knee injuries sustained during the San Francisco 49ers' Week 3 win over the New York Giants last week. Samuel left the field after Thursday's walk-through and headed to the weight room as his teammates prepared for practice.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw (ankle) returned to practice. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is out of his blue no-contact jersey. Like Samuel, wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shin) headed to the weight room after the team's walk-through.

Later, Jennings was seen on a side field working alongside wide receiver Danny Gray, who is currently on injured reserve due to an SC joint sprain.
Reporters are not allowed to observe practice once team drills begin. The 49ers will release an official practice participation report after the Thursday session.
San Francisco (3-0) will hold one more practice, a Friday session scheduled for 12:30 p.m. PT, before hosting the Arizona Cardinals (1-2) at Levi's Stadium on Sunday. The 49ers are currently 14-point favorites in the Week 4 matchup.
