Wide receiver Deebo Samuel was limited this week due to a hamstring injury, putting his availability against the Saints into doubt. The 49ers have listed Samuel as "questionable" for Sunday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan noted that the wideout's current injury is unrelated to the previous hamstring injury from earlier in the season.
Defensive lineman Arik Armstead returned to practice on Friday, the final session of the week. Jordan Schultz of The Score first reported Armstead's return but also stated that the 49ers would rule out the veteran defender for this weekend's game. While that wasn't the case, San Francisco did list Armstead as "doubtful." The defensive lineman has not played since Week 4 due to foot and ankle injuries.
Defensive end Samson Ebukam (quadricep, Achilles) did not appear on the injury report, meaning the 49ers have cleared him to play.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Saints, provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.
