Matt Breida (ankle) is officially not practicing today.

Breida was expected to miss one or two games with his ankle injury, so this is not a surprise to start the week. The dynamic running back’s status will be monitored over the next couple of days.

George Kittle (knee, ankle) was officially limited in today’s practice.

Kittle looked really good in practice based off video from reporters, and he appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday night against the Packers. This is his first appearance on the practice field since suffering his knee injury on Halloween night. It would be a good sign if Kittle is able to draw a questionable tag on the final Week 12 injury report tomorrow.

Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) is not practicing today.

Sanders struggled to battle through the painful rib issue against the Cardinals last week, and he’s probably not a lock to play this Sunday against the Packers. The veteran receiver probably doesn’t need a lot of practice time to play, though, even for a team he joined midseason.

The Texans activated Jordan Thomas off injured reserve.

Thomas was placed on injured reserve on September 2, but he’s officially back as one of the Texans’ two potential designated-to-return players. The 2018 sixth-round pick will give Houston a boost in real-life, but he’s not a recommended fantasy pickup at the moment. Veteran tight end Darren Fells has done a really nice job as a red-zone target for Deshaun Watson this season, so it might be difficult for Thomas to get on the field for key snaps.

George Kittle (knee) will not practice today.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says it’s again going to come down to the wire for Kittle this week. The bad news for fantasy owners is that the Niners do not kickoff until Sunday night, making lineup decisions more difficult. Ideally, Kittle will be able to hit the practice field tomorrow or Friday so that we can feel better about his Week 12 status.

UPDATE: Phillip Dorsett (concussion) was officially limited in today’s practice.

Dorsett was initially listed as a non-participant in today’s practice, but it was either a mistake or the injury report wasn’t yet updated from yesterday when the Patriots published it. This is good to hear for Dorsett, and he looks to have a shot to play this Sunday against the Cowboys. We’ll see how he’s listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Delanie Walker (ankle) was officially a limited participant in today’s practice.

There’s hope that Walker will be ready to return to the lineup for the Titans after their bye week, and a limited Wednesday practice is a good start to the week. Expect Walker to remain limited in tomorrow’s practice.
