The San Francisco 49ers announced three players who are injured and will not practice on Tuesday. The most serious appears to be defensive lineman
Arik Armstead, who sustained a hamstring injury and is listed as week-to-week. Tight end Cole Hikutini will not practice this week due to a groin injury and guard Joshua Garnett remains day-to-day with a knee injury.
Garnett missed Sunday's practice session after
banging knees with a teammate during Saturday's outing.
The 49ers will hold their first practice of the week on Tuesday at 10:15 a.m. after having Monday off.
"Ronald Blair and rookie Jullian Taylor are the backups behind Armstead at 'big end,'"
notes Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
The good news is that
five players are returning from injury lists. They are guard Jonathan Cooper, wide receiver Trent Taylor, linebacker Dekoda Watson, safety Marcell Harris, and linebacker Malcolm Smith. The first three come off the physically unable to perform list while the latter two come off the non-football injury list.
Returning from injury:
G Jonathan Cooper (knee)
S Marcell Harris (Achilles)
LB Malcolm Smith (lower leg)
WR Trent Taylor (back)
LB Dekoda Watson (calf)
Will miss time:
DL Arik Armstead (hamstring, week-to-week)
TE Cole Hikutini (groin, out this week)
G Joshua Garnett (knee, day-to-day)

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
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.
