The San Francisco 49ers have released their Week 2 injury report. The team is preparing to hit the road for a matchup with the defending NFC Champion Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
The 49ers are going into the game
relatively healthy. All 53 players practiced on Wednesday and Thursday with some players being limited. The biggest news from the injury report is that
OT Anthony Davis has been ruled out for Sunday's game with a concussion. He has been practicing this week, but the injury occurred during Thursday's practice. He reported to the medical staff following that practice.
After earning the starting role at right guard, Davis was moved into a backup tackle role prior to Week 1. A concussion that he suffered during the 2014 season was one of the factors that led to his decision to retire prior to the 2015 season. Although, a 49ers spokesman said that there has been no retirement talk following this latest injury.
CB Chris Davis was limited this week with the hamstring injury that caused him to miss Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.
DB Jimmie Ward filled in very well at nickel.
For the Panthers,
RB Jonathan Stewart is expected dot play despite his listed status. He was limited in practice this week with an ankle injury. "I don't know, he's questionable," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "Yes, I expect him to play."
The 49ers will travel to North Carolina today following their morning practice. They will practice at a local field in Charlotte on Saturday before they face the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday.
Below is the complete injury report, which was released by the team. The status of "probable" was eliminated this season, leaving only "questionable," "doubtful," and "out."

49ers vs. Giants Injury Report: Brandon Aiyuk questionable; Saquon Barkley ruled out
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 3 contest against the New York Giants on Thursday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Brandon Aiyuk will likely be a game-time decision. On Wednesday morning, general manager John Lynch shared that the wide receiver is working hard this week to play on Thursday. Aiyuk suffered a shoulder injury on a catch during the 49ers' opening drive on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
"I think, with Brandon, with these Thursday night games, they're a quick turnaround," Lynch said during a radio interview. "So he clearly got something irritated in his chest/shoulder area. He's working really hard to try to get ready.
49ers roster moves: CB Anthony Brown re-signed, CB Tre Swilling waived
The San Francisco 49ers announced they have re-signed cornerback Anthony Brown to a one-year deal. To make room on the roster, the team waived cornerback Tre Swilling.
The Niners released Brown on Thursday, just hours ahead of their game against the New York Giants. That move came just days after initially signing Brown to the 53-man roster.
The 49ers will likely try to re-sign Swilling to the practice squad. On Thursday, the cornerback was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster. He played 19 snaps on special teams against the
Anthony Brown eager to help new 49ers teammates beat Giants
The San Francisco 49ers signed Anthony Brown this week, and the cornerback is ready to help his new teammates defeat the New York Giants. However, that help may not come from Brown taking the field on Thursday night.
Brown spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, so he is familiar with the Niners' upcoming opponent, having played in the NFC East for many years. Brown was a starter for Dallas until suffering a torn Achilles in December.
"Just getting here, so I'm just trying to basically tell the guys as much as I can, and if they have any questions on little tips and little pointers," Brown told Larry Krueger this week. "The Giants pretty much show up every week in their game plan, and trying to help the corners and DBs as much as I
49ers injury news: Deebo Samuel avoids serious injury, other updates from Kyle Shanahan
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan jumped on a conference call with reporters on Friday afternoon, the day after the team's 30-12 win over the New York Giants. Shanahan provided several injury updates.
Linebackers Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Dre Greenlaw emerged from Thursday night's game with low-ankle sprains. Both are day-to-day. The good news is that players have some extra time off before returning to work on Monday, when the 49ers begin preparing for the Arizona Cardinals.
The only other player who was banged up in the Week 3 contest is wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The 49ers initially feared a rib injury, but
