49ers injury report: only four players listed

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The bye week seemingly did wonders for the San Francisco 49ers as many injured players used the time off to heal. In fact, only four players were in the report, meaning everyone else on the active roster is considered healthy four days before the Niners’ home game against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

As an aside, though, two players who began practicing this week -- nose tackle Glenn Dorsey (right biceps) and running back Marcus Lattimore (right knee) -- are not currently on the active roster, so they do not count against the injury report.

In fact, the 49ers only have 52 players currently on the roster and because they do not have a practice squad player in his third year, they can stay at 52 players. And, of course, that leaves open a roster spot should linebacker Aldon Smith's nine-game suspension be reduced anytime soon.

Following is the 49ers' injury report for Wednesday:

Limited participation: CB Tramaine Brock (toe), S Jimmie Ward (quadricep), ILB Patrick Willis (toe)

Full participation: CB Chris Culliver (hamstring)
