Practice Notes
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw returned to the practice field after missing Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. That's good news for the 49ers, who look to extend their winning streak to six games.
Guard Spencer Burford practiced for the second consecutive day, a positive sign heading into this weekend. Guard Aaron Banks returned to practice after missing Thursday's session with a hip injury.
Cornerback Charvarius Ward, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, and tight end Ross Dwelley were seen working on the side as their teammates went through practice. Defensive tackle Arik Armstead, linebacker Oren Burks, and running back Elijah Mitchell were nowhere to be seen during the portion of practice open to the media.
The 49ers ruled out Armstead, Hargrave, Burks, Mitchell, and Dwelley for Sunday's game. Greenlaw, Ward, Burford, and Banks are listed as "questionable." On Saturday, we'll likely see a running back and defensive lineman elevated from the practice squad.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Cardinals, provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.
