San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle
Arik Armstead was dealing with a foot injury last week, leading to
his designation as "questionable" for this past Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Armstead played in the Week 13 contest but eventually exited due to foot and knee injuries.
On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that the 49ers were
still gathering information about Armstead's injury, promising more information later in the week.
Shanahan provided an update on Wednesday, saying, "It's not ACL, MCL, nothing I would be able to remember to tell you guys. I'd be surprised if he's ready this week. Still haven't ruled him out yet, but it might be a week or two."
When asked if the 49ers fear a long-term injury for Armstead, Shanahan responded, "I hope not. I can't rule him out for this week, but the fact that I'm saying already that I'd be surprised if he played this week, it's
got to see how long it lasts."
As for the rest of the injuries, tight end
Ross Dwelley suffered a high-ankle sprain and will miss multiple weeks. Guard
Spencer Burford is dealing with a knee injury and will not practice. Cornerback
Darrell Luter Jr. is working through a hamstring injury and will not practice.
Shanahan revealed that running back
Elijah Mitchell emerged from Sunday's game a little banged up. He is dealing with a knee injury and will not practice.
"His knee was sore, just still sore," Shanahan said of his running back. "But nothing big right now. Just still sore from the game."
Wide receiver
Ray-Ray McCloud is working his way back from a rib injury and will be a limited practice participant on Wednesday.
The 49ers are preparing for their Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The two teams will clash on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. It is the second meeting between the NFC West rivals, with the
49ers winning 31-13 on November 23.

49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window
The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways.
"Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through."
