Charvarius Ward returned to practice on Saturday. The 49ers excused the cornerback on Thursday and Friday for a personal matter. He is expected to start on Monday night.
Defensive lineman Arik Armstead will miss his sixth consecutive game due to foot and ankle injuries. He has not practiced this week and was not on the field with his teammates on Saturday. The 49ers ruled out Armstead for the upcoming game.
