The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 8 contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Not much has changed throughout the week regarding the practice participation reports. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel missed his third consecutive practice. As did wide receiver Jauan Jennings, defensive lineman Arik Armstead, linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
The team ruled out Samuel, Armstead, and Greenlaw for Sunday. Jennings and cornerback Jason Verrett are listed as "questionable."
"It's not a precaution," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday in response to a question about Samuel's hamstring injury. "I mean, he's not good enough to go. The fact that he even had a chance means, hopefully, he'll be good with the week off and ready for the next game."
The 49ers had already ruled out Juszczyk for this weekend's game. On Monday, the fullback underwent surgery to repair the broken finger suffered this past Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. He is expected to return after the bye week.
Matt Barrows of The Athletic shared an update on three players dealing with MCL injuries.
Some positive injury news for the #49ers: Their three MCL-injury guys -- RB Elijah Mitchell, LB Azeez Shaair and OL Colton McKivitz -- were working out/running on side fields when practice began. Mitchell seems like an after-the-bye possibility as far as his return.
