The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 15 contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The 49ers were without several key players during Tuesday's practice, the team's only full session of the week. Defensive end Nick Bosa and tackle Trent Williams remained sidelined, putting their availability for Thursday night in question. It would mark their fourth consecutive missed game if they cannot play.
Another notable absence was rookie running back Isaac Guerendo, who suffered a foot sprain during Sunday's win against the Chicago Bears. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan has stated that the team is prepared to wait until game day to make a final decision on Guerendo's status.
Although he didn't participate, Guerendo was seen wearing his jersey and walking without a limp during practice, a positive sign heading into the Week 15 matchup.

Meanwhile, offensive lineman Ben Bartch sustained a high-ankle sprain against the Bears and will land on injured reserve this week.
On a more positive note, linebacker Dre Greenlaw could make his 2024 season debut Thursday night, provided there are no setbacks. Greenlaw was among several players who were limited participants in Tuesday's practice.
