49ers vs. Cardinals: Reuben Foster set to make third career start

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster will make his third career start. While listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, he is not among the team's inactive players for Sunday's game. The 49ers kick off against the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium at 1:05 p.m. PT.

The Cardinals are 2.5-point favorites in the matchup.

Foster started the 49ers' season-opening matchup against the Carolina Panthers before leaving the game with a high-ankle sprain. He went on to miss the 49ers' next five games before returning for a Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Foster sustained a rib injury against Dallas and was inactive the following week against Philadelphia.

Foster practiced all week and head coach Kyle Shanahan was optimistic about his chances of playing against Arizona.

49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said on Thursday that Foster has been unlucky with injuries during his rookie season.

"He's been very unlucky with the injuries that he's had," Saleh said. "He's definitely not injury-prone. That didn't even cross my mind. It's just been very unlucky and very unfortunate though, some of the things that have happened to him. Once he gets his body back, the improvement is just going to skyrocket. It's just a matter of getting him going."

According to Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York is preparing to assume the role of principal owner of the team by acquiring the necessary equity from his mother, Denise DeBartolo York. "The transaction and title change is subject to NFL approval, expected during the league meetings underway today in Orlando," Fischer wrote. "It's not known precisely how much of the club Jed York will own individually after this deal, but the family owns more than 95% of the 49ers, valued at $6B by Forbes in 2023." Fischer also notes that York will maintain his position as CEO of the team, where he will continue to directly oversee

49ers view Isaac Yiadom as leading candidate to start at CB, says insider

The San Francisco 49ers' signing of cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal wasn't a headline-grabbing move. It wasn't even the Bay Area team's most significant free-agency move thus far. That would be defensive end Leonard Floyd signing a two-year deal with the 49ers. However, San Francisco hopes Yiadom proves to be one of its more underrated signings. The 28-year-old defensive back is coming off his best NFL season. Yiadom's 81.1 overall grade and 80.4 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus were career highs. Opposing quarterbacks completed 50 percent of their passes (22 of 44) and owned an 84.4 passer rating when targeting the former New Orleans Saints defender in 2023. RELATED:

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
