Anyone got the status for Juice?

Nope, he has to pass all the phases of concussion protocol by sometime Saturday or he won't be allowed to play

Very curious to see how this looks as the season progresses. Three defensive rookies with over two-thirds of snaps already is crazy though, and Colby will likely boost this up quite a bit, too.

Sigle
Stout
Williams
Colby
Collins

We might have 5 rookies in the starting lineup in 2 weeks.

Honestly I'm a little dissapointed about West.

He was not practicing much during preseason so Saleh is working him in From what I've read he will get more snaps when Saleh feels he's ready. The good part of all this is by mid season the team should have all our players "barring injuries of course" Lol. This should work out great for the team because the D should be jelling by then. Same with the Offense. Rookies and subs are getting a lot of reps and they should have all the starters back. If the team can get to mid season at 6-2 or 5-3 it's going to be a hard team to beat and I'm looking forward to it. So far, so good Lets go Niners!!!!

Feel optimistic about this game but the way recent seasons have gone it's like just waiting for the wheels to fall off. If they can get past this game and get a few players back going forward, I think they can go on a nice run.

Last season was bizarre yet disappointing. Started 5-4 yet you could see the cracks (particularly in the inexcusable last-second collapses to the Cardinals/Rams and the almost-collapse to the Bucs that we clawed back in to get to 5-4). Then the following week Bosa got hurt before the final drive, Seahawks win at the last second and from there it was alllll downhill. I can't help but think if we hold on to sweep Seattle to get to 6-4 and 2-2 in the division, do things go differently?

Cardinals rookie CB Will Johnson was not out there during the open portion of practice today, That makes three days of not practicing for Johnson, who suffered a groin injury in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

DL Calais Campbell also was not out there during the open portion.

Seems only fair for them to hold out their top CBs since we're without a lot of our top receivers.

tough divisional matchup

Did they sign any FA CBs during the week with all their injuries?

Would be huge for my fantasy team if Ricky has a couple of splash plays in this one

9ers please run up the score on these pricks like they did at their house. These f**kers could be 2-15 and still sweep the 9ers f**k they're annoying!!!

When the Cardinals lost CB Sean Murphy-Bunting for the season, they did not sign a proven, veteran replacement.

When they lost CB Starling Thomas V for the season, they did not sign a replacement.

They put CB Garrett Williams on IR today; he will miss 4 games, minimum.

They…

Every team in the NFL has a nemesis and ours is the Cards, especially in Levi's. With that in mind, I am cautiously optimistic even if Brock won't be able to play this week. With Salah back, I feel better about our team defense and the Cards are always more dangerous early in the year. I would feel better if Jennings is going to play and if the Niners get Watkins back, too. Game should be tight, but I will predict a Niners victory.

Our nemesis is not the cards. It's the injuries while we're playing the cards, if we don't have Kittle it's McCaffrey on and on and on.
