49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Friday delivered the club’s Week 7 injury report for their matchup against the Chiefs. The bits of good news continued to trickle in after a week of positive steps on the health front for San Francisco.
Here’s who’s in, out and questionable Sunday:
Out
DL Arik Armstead (feet, ankle)
Armstead didn’t practice at all during the week. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the team aims for a post-bye return for the defensive tackle.
Questionable
Charvarius Ward (groin)
Talanoa Hufanga (concussion)
Ward was on hand for Friday’s practice according to reporters at the team facility. He missed Wednesday and Thursday, but still has a chance to play against his former team after tweaking his groin in Week 6. Hufanga has one more test to pass before he can be cleared from concussion protocol per Shanahan.
Not listed
LT Trent Williams
DE Nick Bosa
FS Jimmie Ward
RT Mike McGlinchey
Shanahan’s optimism on Williams and Bosa after Sunday’s game turned out to be well-placed. They’ll both suit up against the Chiefs. For Williams it’ll be his first game since he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 3. Ward sounded like a long shot to start the week, but he was able to get through the week of practice with his surgically-repaired hand wrapped in a giant cast. McGlinchey was dealing with a calf contusion he sustained in Week 6, but he’ll be good to go Sunday and the 49ers will have their entire starting OL back for the first time since Week 3.
