Rams wide receiver Davante Adams returned to practice on Thursday. He was limited.

Adams injured his oblique in the second half of the Rams' win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Adams is expected to play against the Seahawks.

Adams has 42 receptions for 568 yards and a league-leading nine touchdowns this season.

Defensive end Kobie Turner (back) remained out of practice on Thursday.

Wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) returned to full participation after limited work on Wednesday, and cornerback Darious Williams (shoulder) remained full.

The 49ers will see the return of quarterback Brock Purdy, who will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Purdy has not played since Week 4 after he aggravated his turf toe, which also kept him out Weeks 2-3.

Purdy, who had a full practice on Thursday, will have wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back, too.

Pearsall also has not played since Week 4 because of a knee injury.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that Pearsall will play Sunday after returning to practice this week. Pearsall remained limited on Thursday.

"He’s had a good week," Shanahan said on KNBR, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. "He's done some good things. We've got to be smart with him, easing him back in. That's why he's been limited this week. You can't just throw a guy out to run all these routes as much as you do when you've been out six weeks. But he did a little on Wednesday, did a little bit more today, but he'll be good to go for Sunday."

The 49ers added cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (calf) to their practice report on Thursday as a limited participant.

Defensive tackle Alfred Collins (hip) and linebacker Dee Winters (knee/knee) remained limited for a second consecutive day.

The Jets will have edge rusher Will McDonald IV and defensive lineman Harrison Phillips for Thursday Night Football.

McDonald (quad) and Phillips (foot) had questionable designations.

Wide receiver AD Mitchell will make his Jets debut after the trade from Indianapolis, where he made nine catches for 152 yards.

The Jets' inactives are cornerback Azareye'h Thomas (concussion), running back Khalil Herbert (groin), linebacker Ja'Markis Weston, edge rusher Braiden McGregor (shoulder) and tight end Jelani Woods.

The Patriots' inactives are quarterback Tommy DeVito, running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), tight end Austin Hooper (concussion), linebacker Christian Elliss (hip), defensive tackle Joshua Farmer and offensive lineman Caedan Wallace.
