San Francisco 49ers
WR Torrey Smith appeared on Thursday's injury report and was limited during practice with a back injury. Following some frustrating performances this season with Blaine Gabbert as the team's quarterback, Smith contributed 76 yards and a touchdown with Colin Kaepernick in there during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Our own Al Sacco
pointed out today that Smith was targeted seven times on Sunday and hauled in three of those passes. During Weeks 3 through 5, Smith Ward targeted just seven times total.
The 49ers will likely be without
RB Carlos Hyde against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He has not practiced this week due to a shoulder injury.
CB Rashard Robinson returned to practice today, but was limited. He suffered a concussion against the Bills and is in the league mandated concussion protocol. He practiced in a blue no-contact jersey.
Below are the Thursday practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Buccaneers.

Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game.

That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
