West (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The rookie fourth-rounder hyper-extended his knee in mid-August, which prevented him from playing in the 49ers' final two preseason games. West was able to open the week with a full practice, which puts him on track to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks. He's expected to serve in a rotational role at defensive tackle with Alfred Collins, Kalia Davis and Jordan Elliott.

49ers' CJ West: Won't play Saturday
West (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
West hyperextended his knee during practice this past week, and San Francisco will take the conservative route by having the rookie fourth-rounder observe Saturday's game in street clothes. The injury isn't considered a long-term issue, so he could be available for the 49ers' preseason finale against the Chargers on Saturday, Aug. 23.
