Week 11 Injury Report: Seahawks at 49ers

Wednesday’s injury report

The Seahawks returned from the bye week and practiced Wednesday afternoon without four players, three due to injury and one due to personal reasons. Among the three injured players was defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who is dealing with a foot injury. Williams has not been on the injury report in recent weeks and played his usual workload in the team’s overtime loss to the Rams two weeks ago.

Similarly, tight end Brady Russell was unable to practice because he is nursing a foot injury. Rookie tight end Noah Fant continues to miss practice as he deals with a groin injury that kept him out of Week 9. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Fant could miss more games in a press conference this week before the match. vs. Rams, but his availability for Sunday is still unknown at this time. Center Connor Williams was the only player to miss practice Wednesday for non-injury reasons.

Two players were limited in Wednesday’s practice, including right tackle Abraham Lucas. The third-year right tackle hasn’t played all season, but was activated from the PUP list Wednesday morning and could make his debut this week, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. “Abe (Abraham Lucas) practiced today. San Francisco is a realistic expectation at this point,” coach Macdonald said Monday afternoon. Linebacker Boye Mafe has also been limited as he is still dealing with a knee injury that has consistently placed him on the injured report throughout the season and forced him to miss two games earlier this year.

Wide receiver DK Metcalf returned to full capacity practice Wednesday afternoon after not practicing since injuring his knee in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons. While Metcalf has made enough progress in his recovery to practice, his status for Sunday is still unknown. “I don’t know yet. I’m going to practice today and then see how it goes,” Metcalf said before practice today.

The 49ers were without six players from Wednesday’s practice, including All-Pros Nick Bosa and George Kittle. Bosa is listed with a hip injury and Kittle is out with a hamstring injury. Running back Christian McCaffrey was limited today after making his season debut last week. The star running back has been dealing with an Achilles injury all season.
