Tartt, James could return to action Thursday vs. Packers

Safety Jaquiski Tartt and wide receiver Richie James took part in limited practice Tuesday under the lights of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Tartt missed the 49ers’ past two games due to a groin strain. James sat out the 49ers’ Week 8 game against Seattle with an ankle injury.

Five players did not practice, and each will not suit up for the 49ers’ game Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. That list includes quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and tight end George Kittle, both of whom will be going on injured reserve.
