The 49ers on Sunday will try and slow down the NFL’s highest scoring offense without one of their starting edge rushers. They’ll also be down one of their receivers on offense.
Dee Ford did not practice for the third consecutive day Friday and was ruled out of the contest on the team’s official status report. Dante Pettis practiced Wednesday and hurt his knee. He missed Thursday and Friday, and the team listed him as ‘out’ on the status report.
The good news for the 49ers is George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Emmanuel Sanders are all off the injury report after going into last week’s contest as ‘questionable.’ Kittle didn’t practice Wednesday while Samuel and Sanders were limited. They were all limited Thursday and Friday, and will be active Sunday.
Kicker Robbie Gould was a full participant all week after missing the last three games, and running back Matt Breida returned to practice in a limited fashion this week after missing the last two contests.
Here’s the full status report:
Out
DE Dee Ford (quad, hamstring)
WR Dante Pettis (knee)
Questionable
RB Matt Breida (ankle)
OT Joe Staley (finger)
