The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
This week's big storyline is the status of Cardinals star quarterback

could be available for Sunday's game.
For the 49ers, tight end
George Kittle, running back Jeff Wilson, and Kicker Robbie Gould returned to practice. Kittle and Gould are on injured reserve while Wilson is on the physically-unable-to-perform list.
