San Francisco 49ers safety Adrian Colbert and linebacker Dekoda Watson have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. They join a list that includes linebacker Reuben Foster and safety Eric Reid, who have not been expected to play.
Foster is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain he suffered during Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Reid is recovering from a PCL injury he suffered during Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday that he is hopeful both players will be able to return to practice next week.
Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, who suffered a concussion against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, is listed as questionable for Sunday. "I'd be surprised if he wasn't ready to go on Sunday," Shanahan told reporters on Friday.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and the Colts. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports, which were provided by the 49ers Communications team.

On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…

Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations.
