Luter (pelvis) did not appear on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Luter was forced to miss the team's 28-18 loss to Kansas City in Week 7 due to a pelvis injury, but he now appears to be a full go ahead of Week 8 against Dallas. The cornerback has appeared in one game this season, recording two tackles and a forced fumble in Week 6 versus Seattle.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Bosa (elbow) was a limited participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bosa popped up on the injury report Wednesday due to an elbow injury. While the 2019 first-round pick will look to be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Cowboys, if he ends up being limited by the injury, Robert Beal would likely see increased playing time.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Not near return
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Greenlaw (Achilles) is not expected to be ready to return from the PUP list until a few weeks after the 49ers' Week 9 bye, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The linebacker tore his left Achilles' tendon last February in the 49ers' Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs, which means he is roughly eight months removed from the injury. San Francisco will play the Buccaneers on Nov. 10 and Seahawks on Nov. 17 after its bye week, but at this stage, Greenlaw doesn't look to be trending toward a return for either of those contests.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Niners' leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Mustapha recorded 12 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-18 loss versus the Chiefs.
Mustapha logged a career-high 67 defensive snaps in Week 7, and he had by far his most productive game as a pro thus far. He should continue to have a significant role in San Francisco's defense at least until Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is able to return from injured reserve.

49ers' Jordan Elliott: All good for Sunday
Rotowire
Elliott (knee) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Elliott should make his return to the field after sitting out the 49ers' Week 6 win over the Seahawks. The 6-foot defensive tackle's return is particularly timely, considering the tall task that slowing down Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs' offense represents.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Cleared for Sunday
Rotowire
Mustapha (ankle) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Mustapha suffered a low-ankle sprain in a Week 6 Thursday night win over Seattle and wasn't able to return after the injury, but he should be back on the field as San Francisco takes on the Chiefs at home. The starting safety has 13 tackles (seven solo) and three passes defended, including one interception, so far this season.

49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Flannigan-Fowles (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Flannigan-Fowles' participation Wednesday follows him being seen on the practice field during Monday's bonus session. The linebacker hasn't played since Week 4, but he appears to have a good chance of returning to action Sunday versus Kansas City. If Flannigan-Fowles does return Sunday, Dee Winters could see fewer defensive snaps.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Mustapha (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Mustapha suffered a low-ankle sprain last Thursday against Seattle and wasn't able to return after the injury. The extended time between that contest and the beginning of the Week 7 practice slate may have aided in the safety being able to get back on the practice field Wednesday, though he was a limited participant. Mustapha seems to have a chance of suiting up Sunday versus Kansas City, but George Odum would likely take over in a starting role if Mustapha can't play.

49ers' Charvarius Ward: Practices in full Wednesday
Rotowire
Ward (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Ward was also seen practicing in Monday's bonus practice, so it appears the cornerback is back to near-full health after missing Week 6 due to a knee injury. He's had a good amount of time to recover because that game against the Seahawks was on a Thursday, and at this point it seems Ward will be ready to return Sunday against Kansas City. In the five contests in which he's played, Ward has tallied 22 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses.

Adrian Amos: Headed to Bay Area
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Amos to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Amos played in 16 regular-season games between the Texans and Jets in 2023, and finished with 28 tackles (23 solo) and one pass defended. He signed with the Jaguars in early August, but he was unsuccessful in making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Amos will provide much-needed depth for the 49ers, as George Odum and Ji'Ayir Brown are the only healthy safeties on the active roster.

49ers' Malik Mustapha: Works on side Monday
Rotowire
Mustapha (ankle) was spotted working off to the side of 49ers' practice Monday, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Mustapha was considered day-to-day after exiting San Francisco's Week 6 win over the Seahawks with a low-ankle sprain. His participation later in the week will provide the best indication on whether the rookie safety can return for the 49ers' Week 7 matchup against the Chiefs.

49ers' Jordan Elliott: Logs individual work Monday
Rotowire
Elliott (knee) was spotted working on the side of 49ers' practice Monday, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Elliott was expected to return to practice this week after sustaining a knee injury in San Francisco's Week 5 loss to the Cardinals. The Missouri product has recorded 16 total tackles across five games with the 49ers this season, and he's expected to serve as one of the team's top defensive tackles once he's fully past his knee injury.

49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Back at practice
Rotowire
Flannigan-Fowles (calf) was spotted practicing Monday, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Flannigan-Fowles had missed the 49ers' last two games due to a calf injury, but Monday's return to practice indicates he could almost be past the issue. Once the Arizona product has returned to full health, he is expected to serve as San Francisco's top strong-side linebacker.

49ers' Renardo Green: Nabs first NFL interception
Rotowire
Green registered six tackles (four solo) along with an interception versus the Seahawks in Week 6 on Thursday in a 36-24 victory.
Green was given his biggest NFL opportunity so far due to the absence of Charvarius Ward (knee). Green ended up logging 90 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps -- by far his highest count this season -- and made a key interception of Geno Smith midway through the fourth quarter. Green will likely move back to working primarily on special teams when Ward is able to return to action.

49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Records eight stops on TNF
Rotowire
Brown posted eight tackles (six solo), including one for loss, in a 36-24 Week 6 win over Seattle on Thursday.
Brown tied for second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Fred Warner (11). The free safety's eight stops also tied his season-high mark. Brown has logged every one of the 49ers' defensive snaps in five of the team's six contests so far this year.

49ers' Jordan Elliott: Nearing return
Rotowire
Elliot (knee) is expected to return to practice next week, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Elliot picked up an apparent knee injury in the 49ers' Week 5 loss to the Cardinals that forced him to miss Thursday night's win over the Seahawks. The 26-year-old defensive lineman's participation in practice next week will provide the best indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Chiefs travel to San Francisco.

49ers' Charvarius Ward: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Ward is considered day-to-day with a knee injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ward didn't play in San Francisco's Week 6 win over the Seahawks after sustaining a knee injury the week prior, but it appears a return to the field could be on the horizon. The seventh-year pro's participation in practice next week will provide the best indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the 49ers host the Chiefs.
