The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 5 contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Cornerback Charvarius Ward and linebacker Dre Greenlaw returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday's session.
Running back Christian McCaffrey and tackle Trent Williams returned to the practice field after each received a veteran day off.
Center Jon Feliciano remains in the concussion protocol but was seen running on the side at the start of practice.
During early open portion of Thursday's #49ers practice:
Only player I did not see was RB Elijah Mitchell (knee). OL Jon Feliciano (concussion) was in uniform but working on the side.
Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, Dre Greenlaw, Charvarius Ward were all participating.

Running back Elijah Mitchell continues to miss practice, making it likely that Jordan Mason will serve as McCaffrey's backup against the Cowboys.
