The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 4 contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Defensive linemen
Arik Armstead and
Javon Kinlaw returned to practice. Armstead has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, forcing him to miss the 49ers' Week 3 game against the Denver Broncos. Kinlaw played in that game but sat out the first two full practices of the week due to a knee injury.
"Just flaring up on him," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Kinlaw's knee. The defensive tackle underwent reconstructive surgery on his ACL last year.
Is the coach concerned that the injury could hinder Kinlaw throughout the season?
"Yeah, anytime someone has something, it's a concern," Shanahan responded. "It's kept him out this week, so hopefully, he'll be able to go."
Armstead and Kinlaw were limited during the Saturday practice. Both are "questionable" for Monday night.
The good news is that, for the first time this season, offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill (hamstring) is good to go. Shanahan was pleased with how he made it through the week of practice.
Wide receiver Danny Gray, who did not practice this week due to a hip injury, is "doubtful" to play.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Rams, provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Saturday's practice participation reports.

Today, NFL Media draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah spoke to the media during a nearly two-hour conference call, fielding questions about the 2024 NFL Draft. One question surrounded the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers trading up in the first round to increase their chances of landing an impact player.
Depending on the 49ers' priorities, Jeremiah only believes a significant move is necessary if the team tries to target a couple of defensive positions.
"I mean, they've got a nice haul of picks here, so if they want to move up, they absolutely have the ammunition to do so," Jeremiah stated. "I just think when you look at the needs that they have and some of the different areas that they could go, if you're thinking about corners and edge rushers, maybe you miss
