Player Notes

QB Nathan Peterman has signed with the Oakland Raiders practice squad, according to multiple media reports. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, who was an ESPN analyst at the time, was very high on Peterman, who was cut by the Buffalo Bills more than a month ago, when he came out of Pitt two years ago. "Peterman is ready to walk in and be a contributor from day one," Gruden wrote at the time. "He just ...

LB Aaron Lynch missed practice on Wednesday because of a sprained right elbow suffered against the Packers.

QB Aaron Rodgers (groin) practiced on Wednesday, but interim head coach Joe Philbin would not say if he will play Sunday against the New York Jets. "I'm hopeful he's going to practice, and I'm hopeful he's going to play," Philbin said, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, who added that Rodgers was on the field for the open portion on practice on Wednesday and took the initial reps with the first-team ...

RB Frank Gore was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury, the team announced Wednesday. The move ends Gore's streak of 126 consecutive games played, which was the longest active stretch among any NFL running back, wide receiver or tight end. Gore had also started 122 straight games, the longest run for any NFL running back since Eddie George's string of 130 in a row from 1996-2004. The 35-year-old ...

DE Aaron Lynch (elbow) suffered a right elbow injury against Green Bay and is unlikely to play in Sunday's game with the 49ers.

S Deon Bush will make his first start since 2016 with Eddie Jackson sidelined. Bush is confident he's a different player than when he was forced to start those six games as a rookie due to injuries in the secondary. "I've been here for three years so I know a lot more than I knew in the past," Bush said. "And I'm just going out there and just playing fast right now."

S Eddie Jackson limped around in the locker room this week with a boot cast on his right foot and ankle. He won't play against the 49ers and most likely against the Vikings in the regular-season finale. The hope is he might be ready for a wild-card round playoff game.

DE Kerry Wynn (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

S Michael Thomas was excused from practice Wednesday to attend to a personal issue. Head coach Pat Shurmur didn't elaborate as to how long Thomas would be away from the team tending to his personal matter, but it's not believed that Thomas will miss Sunday's game.

LB Alec Ogletree (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday as he was placed in the league's protocol. His status for Sunday is uncertain.
