Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee, who observed the early portion of Thursday's practice, saw both players as they continue to rehab their injuries and prepare to return. It sounds like both are making good progress.
The 49ers have been devastated by injuries this season. Just when you think the team is starting to get healthier, it suffers another setback, like the losses of running back Raheem Mostert and center Ben Garland this week.
Mostert is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, while Garland suffered a calf strain. Both injuries occurred during Sunday night's victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Garland has already landed on injured reserve, and Mostert is expected to join him this week.
The 49ers are preparing to face the New England Patriots on Sunday.
