San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde, who suffered a hip injury against the Los Angeles Rams, is heading into Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals as questionable. He was limited during practices this week.
"Definitely still hurting," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday while discussing Hyde.
Shanahan added that Hyde's availability for Sunday would be a game-time decision.
Hyde may be hurting, but he expects to play against the Cardinals, according to a report by Adam Schefter of
ESPN. However, that will be dependent on how his hip feels during pregame warmups in Glendale, Arizona.
Despite the injury suffered against the Rams, Hyde finished the game. Prior to this season, Hyde has missed 12 games since becoming a starter in 2015, including the final game of 2016 after being placed on injured reserve due to an MCL sprain.
In 2017, Hyde is averaging 5.2 yards per carry and has found the end zone twice. He has racked up 253 yards in three games, including a 124-yard performance during Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Hyde has four runs of 15 or more yards, which is tied for third in the league among running backs, according to
Pro Football Focus. His 126 yards during those runs ranks second in the league.
"If you look at his last nine games going back to last year...144 carries for 798 yards," our own Al Sacco stated this past week on
the latest No Huddle podcast, "5.5 yards per carry. Other than this past week, those other eight games, it's not like he had a prolific passing attack to help him. He looks comfortable in this offense and there were a lot of questions if he would or would not. And he does.
"He had 25 carries, 84 yards, and two scores in Week 3 and he just looks like he's really coming into his own. And I know he got dinged up in this past game and I just hope he can stay on the field because, to me, right now, the sky's the limit for Hyde. I really feel he's finally finding his groove."
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.…
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
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.

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting several draft prospects this week as the deadline for pre-draft visits draws near. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, the team will host former Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley on Wednesday.
Corley is expected to be a Day 2 pick. San Francisco owns two selections on Day 2—the No. 63 overall pick in the second round and the No. 94 overall pick in the third round. Currently, the receiver is visiting with the Seattle Seahawks.

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. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
