Here’s some good news to close out your Wednesday: the New Orleans Saints injury report featured perfect attendance, including trade deadline acquisition Kwon Alexander.
The former Pro Bowl linebacker is set up to get on the field against the team that traded him to New Orleans should he continue to pick up the playbook and receive good feedback from the ankle injury that sidelined him for three games in San Francisco. He’s off to a good start after practicing fully on Wednesday.
The same can’t be said for the 49ers. They’ve been stung worse than most by the injury bug this year, losing everyone from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to defensive end Nick Bosa and running back Raheem Mostert to injured reserve. Other players like wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel are being worked back into the rotation after recent absences.
So with all of that in mind: here is your full injury report after the week’s first practice session. The 49ers details will be updated once shared by the team:
