London (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

London was contained to just one quarter of action this past Sunday against the Cowboys due to what eventually was deemed to be a hip pointer, leaving him day-to-day. The Falcons merely held a walk-through session Wednesday, so he'll need to use practices Thursday and Friday in order to prove his level of health in advance of Sunday's contest at New Orleans.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings (hip) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Jennings has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a hip injury, missing two contests as a result. With the benefit of a Week 9 bye, he's now ramping up his activity level in advance of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. If he's able to return to action this weekend, Jennings likely will serve as one of the 49ers' starting wide receivers alongside Deebo Samuel (oblique/ribs) due to Brandon Aiyuk (knee) being out for the season due to ACL and MCL tears.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel (oblique/ribs) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

In the 49ers' last game Oct. 27 versus the Cowboys, Samuel exited early with a rib injury, with Shanahan relaying a day later that the wideout was tending to both rib and oblique strains. With a Week 9 bye to rest up, Samuel will ease into Week 10 prep and have two more chances to log a full practice before potentially entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Olave (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Olave was on the receiving end of a big hit this past Sunday at Carolina and was carted off the field before heading to a Charlotte-area hospital for further evaluation. He was diagnosed with a concussion, leaving him subject to the NFL's five-step protocol for head injuries. In the short term, Olave's ability to merely get back on the practice field will be a positive first step in his recovery.

Jones (groin) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens.

Jones missed the team's Week 9 win over the Raiders due to the injury and appears set to miss a second-straight game. His likely absence wouldn't impact the Bengals' offense, but it would leave them down their return man. Trenton Irwin would likely be cast in the role again, assuming Jones is inactive.

Turner was cut from the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.

Turner signed with San Francisco's practice squad Oct. 23, but it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. The Illinois product most recently appeared in two regular-season games with the 49ers in 2022, playing almost strictly on special teams (49 of 50 total snaps on special teams). In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed veteran wide receiver Russell Gage to their practice squad.

Higgins (quadricep) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens.

Higgins, who missed the Bengals' last two games, is thus trending toward a third straight absence, with his Week 10 status to be officially confirmed when Cincinnati posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With Higgins expected to be out of the mix, Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas are in line to lead Cincinnati's wideout corps, while tight end Mike Gesicki should remain busy after having been targeted 14 times over the past two contests.

The 49ers signed Gage to their practice squad Wednesday.

The 28-year-old wideout failed to catch on in Baltimore this past offseason, but he's now found a new home in San Francisco. Gage most recently appeared in 13 regular-season games with the Buccaneers in 2022, catching 51 of his 70 targets for 426 yards and five touchdowns. He could find his way onto the 49ers' active roster if their wide receiver room faces injuries later this season.

Thielen (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The Panthers haven't said that Thielen has experienced a setback with his hamstring, but he's now sat out two consecutive practices after he was previously a non-participant in last Friday's session before being ruled out ahead of a 23-22 win over the Saints. He resumed practicing Oct. 23 and will need to be activated from injured reserve next week even if he's not ready to play, unless the Panthers want him ruled out for the rest of the season. Thielen's absence from practice to begin Week 10 prep suggests that he doesn't have great odds of playing this Sunday against the Giants in Munich.

The Chargers signed Reagor from their practice squad to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Reagor has been elevated from the practice squad for the Chargers' last three contests, and now he's found his way into a more permanent position on the active roster. However, as long as Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer are all healthy, it's not likely that any other Chargers wideout will register on the fantasy radar this season.
