San Francisco signed Martinez to its practice squad Wednesday, Kyle Madison of USA Today reports.

Just a day after being waived from the Jets' practice squad, Martinez is now back with the 49ers, who also cut him from their practice squad less than two weeks ago. With starter Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones both healthy, Martinez is likely a couple injuries away from seeing any game action for the rest of the season.

Jules (ankle) logged a full practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jules was forced to sit out the team's Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to an ankle injury, but he now appears to be back to full strength. The 24-year-old will return to his typical role as a top reserve option behind Jordan Battle and Geno Stone at safety against the Dolphins in Sunday.

Mims (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Mims was forced to exit the team's Week 15 loss to the Ravens early with a knee injury, but he now appears to be all set to play Sunday versus the Dolphins. The 23-year-old will be back in his starting role at right tackle against Miami.

Moore (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

A neck injury prevented Moore from playing in the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he's on track to play Sunday against the Chiefs, and he should reclaim his starting spot at left tackle from Olisaemeka Udoh.

Watts (concussion) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Jets' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Watts suffered a concussion in the team's loss to the Jaguars in Week 15, and his inability to participate to open the week comes as no surprise. The defensive end will have to clear concussion protocol to play in Week 16, and that seems like quite the uphill battle at the moment.

Reid (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Reid has been sidelined since early November while nursing a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be approaching his return to action. The team has now opened a 21-day practice window for the linebacker, and if he's not activated from IR in that time frame, he will remain sidelined for the rest of the year.

The Dolphins cut Conner from the practice squad Wednesday.

Conner was brought back by Miami on the practice squad in early November after being waived from the team's active roster, but he'll now be on the lookout for a team in need of depth at tight end. He appeared in each of the Dolphins' first nine games of the regular season, splitting his time between special teams and offense and accumulating nine catches (on 15 targets) for 91 yards.

Gordon (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Gordon sustained an ankle injury midway through the second quarter of Monday's loss to the Steelers. His full practice Wednesday indicates that the injury isn't a concern for the rookie sixth-rounder, which puts him on track to play Sunday against the Bengals. Gordon has turned 60 carries into 191 yards and three touchdowns and six catches (one eight targets) for 30 yards and one score through 14 regular-season games.

Wagner (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Wagner has now missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to nurse a knee injury. The linebacker has been able to play through the issue the last two weeks, but he'll look to return to practice in some capacity at Thursday's final session prior to Saturday's matchup with the Eagles.

Fitzpatrick (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Fitzpatrick left Monday's game at Pittsburgh in the fourth quarter after suffering a calf injury, and now his availability for Week 16 is in jeopardy. Coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Fitzpatrick was week-to-week, and Miami has already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the five-time Pro Bowler probably won't be rushed back into game action before he's fully healthy.
