The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 5 contest against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Neither Arik Armstead nor Javon Kinlaw practiced this week. Armstead played on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams but could not finish the game. A foot injury forced him to miss the previous game in Denver.
"It's something that was bothering him," head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday morning on KNBR. "He got a new thing on a different foot last game that just made it a little bit worse, and we've got to take it a little slower this week."
Kinlaw did not play against the Rams. He is dealing with a "flare-up" in his surgically repaired knee.
The 49ers have ruled out both players for this weekend's game against the Panthers. After Friday's practice, Shanahan didn't sound optimistic about Armstead and Kinlaw being available for the 49ers' Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons either.
Is injured reserve an option for Armstead?
"We possibly could decide that on Arik by tomorrow (Saturday)," Shanahan responded. "But we've still got a lot more to discuss in talking with him."
Jimmie Ward (hamstring) practiced. The safety is a candidate to be activated off the injured reserve list.
Cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) is a candidate to be activated off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. However, he was noticeably absent from Friday's practice after participating on Wednesday and Thursday. Shanahan indicated that had more to do with the lighter Friday session, saying that Verrett might have gone had it been a full-speed practice.
"We wanted to give him a full workout on the side instead of just walking through the cards and stuff," Shanahan said.
Neither Ward nor Verrett is listed below because they are not currently on the active roster.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Panthers, provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.
