Ben Bartch Injury: Limited in practice

Bartch (ankle) was a limited participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Bartch returned to practice for the first time since being placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury back in September. The 27-year-old is expected to be designated to return from injured reserve on Thursday, and he should have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.
