The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 4 contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
As expected, the 49ers listed wide receiver
Deebo Samuel as "questionable" for this weekend's game. Samuel is working through rib and knee injuries. The team listed wide receiver
Jauan Jennings as "doubtful." He is dealing with a shin injury.
"I think his rib feels good," head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Friday's practice. "I think that's not a problem for him. Just had to stay off his legs most of this week to get some of the soreness out of his knee, and he was able to go some today for the first time, so that gives him a chance there for Sunday."
Neither Samuel nor Jennings practiced earlier this week. However, both were seen getting some work in on a side field during Friday's practice. Samuel was listed as a limited participant.
Shanahan told reporters that the 49ers plan to elevate wide receiver Chris Conley or wide receiver Willie Snead—or both—from the practice squad for this weekend's game if Samuel or Jennings cannot play.
Wide receiver
Brandon Aiyuk appears to be good to go against the Cardinals. He did not appear on the team's game status report. Aiyuk missed last week's game against the New York Giants due to a shoulder injury.
Linebacker
Dre Greenlaw has been working through a low-ankle sprain and is among those listed as "questionable." Running back
Elijah Mitchell is also in that category due to a knee injury sustained during Thursday's practice.

The eagerly awaited Week 13 clash between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles is on the horizon. Following a Thanksgiving roasting of the Seattle Seahawks, the 49ers returned to the field on Monday for a bonus practice, gearing up for the NFC Championship Game rematch.
Wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk addressed reporters after practice, downplaying the emotional significance of Sunday's showdown between NFC powerhouses. Both players, vocal about their disappointment after last season's devastating defeat, had previously suggested that the better team failed to come out on top.

49ers' Jauan Jennings criticizes Seahawks defenders for missed tackles on key play
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings only had one catch for seven yards on Thanksgiving night against the Seattle Seahawks, but it was a big one. Jennings is known for his uncanny ability to make things happen on third downs, and that's precisely what happened on that one play.
On a crucial 3rd-and-7 from Seattle's 25-yard line, Jennings received a pass from quarterback Brock Purdy. Initially appearing to be stopped short of the first-down marker, the receiver fought for the needed yards, causing some missed tackles and dragging rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon along with him.

Why 49ers' Brock Purdy has 'all the confidence in the world' in Brandon Aiyuk
Brock Purdy strengthened his chemistry with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during training camp, after the San Francisco 49ers quarterback returned to practice following offseason surgery on his throwing arm.
That quarterback-receiver chemistry has only improved as the season has progressed. On Sunday, Aiyuk caught five passes for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was his fourth game of the season with over 100 receiving yards.
"He's different from [WR] Deebo [Samuel]. He's different from [TE] George [Kittle]," quarterback Brock Purdy told reporters on Tuesday. "And so, sort of just taking note of that. And then B.A.'s just got length. He's got range. And so I know where he can get to and where I shouldn't throw the ball
