The big news out of Wednesday's practice was the return of tackle Trent Williams, who missed practice on Wednesday after suffering an ankle injury this past weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. Tests this week showed no extensive damage, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Safety Jaquiski Tartt remains sidelined with a groin injury.
Also worth noting is that two players on injured reserve, tight end Jordan Reed (knee) and cornerback K'Waun Williams (knee), looked as though they were making progress as they work their ways back to the football field.
Below are Thursday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Patriots, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
