FRIDAY REPORT
The 49ers welcome back a starter to their lineup, while the Cardinals will be without a few of their own on Sunday.
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) and linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. (ribs) were ruled out before the practice week began. Linebacker Baron Browning didn't practice all week with a concussion and is out. Also ruled out for the divisional battle are cornerback Will Johnson (back/hip), Rabbit Taylor-Demerson (ankle) and right tackle Jonah Williams (shoulder).
Williams' absence should mean swing tackle sKelvin Beachum will get a start, but a groin issue has left Beachum questionable. The Cardinals have backups Josh Fryar and Demontrey Jacobs on the active roster. Right guard Will Hernandez is also questionable with a knee issue.
Defensive lineman Walter Nolen III (groin) and Darius Robinson (groin) practiced all week in a limited capacity. They are listed as questionable to play. Also questionable to play is running back Bam Knight (ankle) and BJ Ojulari (knee). If Ojulari plays, it will be his season debut.
The yellow non-contact jersey was removed for Max Melton as he reached one of the final stages of concussion protocol. The cornerback did not receive a game designation and will play.
Quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will start for the 49ers. Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir landed on the injury report on Thursday with a calf injury. After not practicing on Friday, he is questionable to play.
THURSDAY REPORT
Out of the eight players to miss practice on Wednesday, the only two to return were Kelvin Beachum (NIR-Rest/groin) and Bilal Nichols (NIR-Personal). However, the Cardinals added Josh Sweat to the injury report as the outside linebacker missed practice with a rest day. The depth of the outside linebacker room is being tested as Baron Browning also remains in concussion protocol.
Outside linebacker BJ Ojulari was a limited participant as he works towards his season debut following his 2024 knee injury. His practice window closes on Nov. 20.
During his first practice of the regular season, sixth-round offensive lineman Hayden Conner was limited. He has been on Injured Reserve since the preseason finale with a knee injury. Also limited were running back Bam Knight (ankle), offensive lineman Will Hernandez (knee), and defensive linemen Walter Nolen III (knee) and Darius Robinson (groin).
The 49ers are battling through their own set of injuries. However, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, coach Kyle Shanahan said quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will return as the 49ers starter. It'll be his first appearance since Week 4.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
After a physical game against the Seahawks, the Cardinals shifted around their practice schedule. On Wednesday, the team held a closed walkthrough, making the injury designations an estimation.
Baron Browning came to the facility on Monday and was evaluated for a concussion according to coach Jonathan Gannon. He was put in concussion protocol. Gannon also ruled out Mack Wilson Sr. with a ribs injury. The linebacker missed last weekend's game as well, which allowed for rookie Cody Simon to record his first start.
Safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson (ankle) and right tackle Jonah Williams (shoulder) also did not practice.
Defensive lineman Walter Nolen III left Sunday's game with a knee injury and he was working on a limited basis. Another player who left early with an injury was running back Bam Knight. The ankle injury made him a limited participant on Wednesday.
Cornerback Will Johnson did not participate on Wednesday. He was inactive against Seattle with a back/hip issue. Cornerback Max Melton entered concussion protocol last week. He was listed as limited.
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will be out this week following appendicitis surgery on Monday Night.
Question marks continue to swirl around the 49ers and who they will start at quarterback. Brock Purdy was a limited participant with a lingering toe problem. Kyle Shanahan said that practice for Purdy will be "aggressive" and there is hope that he can make his return against the Cardinals.
