The 49ers added another practice squad protection today. Cornerback Dontae Johnson joins quarterback Nate Sudfeld and wide receiver Travis Benjamin. None of the three can be signed by another team until after Sunday's game.
Quarterback Trey Lance's status for this weekend remains unclear. He suffered a chipped bone in the index finger of his throwing hand on August 29. Lance was limited during practice but could throw the football—something he has been unable to do since the injury.
It's progress.
"We'll see how practice goes today," Shanahan responded after being asked about the rookie's availability against the Lions. "We haven't been able to do anything live yet. I mean, he can do it on air, but that will be decided off of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."
Shanahan said that wide receiver Jalen Hurd was a candidate for injured reserve. The third-year player has yet to play in a regular-season game during his NFL career and is returning from a torn ACL suffered before last season.
Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley's and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw's statuses are worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses.
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Lions, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
