FRIDAY REPORT
Garrett Williams should make his season debut this weekend against the 49ers. On Friday, the cornerback did not receive a game status designation and put together his first full practice since being activated from the PUP list.
He told azcardinals.com that he would be returning "soon." Soon looks like it has arrived.
Friday's update featured two players questionable to play. Defensive tackle Roy Lopez (groin) was back for the last day of practice while Max Melton (toe) was limited for the second consecutive day.
Safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is the only Cardinals player ruled out for this weekend's matchup against the 49ers. A limited participant on Thursday, Rabbit's back issue landed him on the inactive list for the game.
For the 49ers, defensive end Nick Bosa sustained a calf injury in practice that will sideline him for a few weeks. Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area said on Cardinals Cover 2 that she "thinks in the walkthrough before practice (Thursday)" is when the injury occurred.
They will also be without wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (ankle), defensive tackle James Thompson (ankle), and defensive end Romello Height (hand). Wide receiver Mike Evans (hip) is questionable.
THURSDAY REPORT
There was good news and bad news at practice on Thursday.
The bad news was Roy Lopez logged his second consecutive DNP of the week. He entered last weekend with a groin injury, but managed to play through it. The issue has lingered. He was the only player to not participate. Safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson (back) was working at practice initially but left during the open portion.
The good news was the return of cornerback Max Melton (toe). Listed as a limited participant, Melton took part in individual and special teams work during the open part of practice. Center Hjalte Froholdt (knee) and cornerback Garrett Williams (Achilles) were also limited.
Left guard Isaac Seumalo and outside linebacker Josh Sweat returned from their rest days.
The 49ers had eight players miss practice on Wednesday. Three came back on Thursday, headlined by Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams. Defensive end Nick Bosa was not on the practice field. Some of the 49ers beat reporters said it's because of a knee and calf issue.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
The Cardinals cornerbacks were dealt a tough hand this week with the loss of Will Johnson for the season. The status of Max Melton is up in the air as well.
Melton left the Seahawks game with a toe injury. He was at practice on Wednesday but did not practice. The Cardinals also did not have left guard Isaac Seumalo (NIR-rest), safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson (back), defensive lineman Roy Lopez (groin), and outside linebacker Josh Sweat (NIR-Rest).
Lopez played through the groin injury last weekend.
The three players limited on Wednesday for the Cardinals were center Hjalte Froholdt (knee), linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. (NIR-Rest/thumb), and cornerback Garrett Williams (Achilles).
The 49ers wide receiver room is banged up heading into this matchup. Mike Evans (hip) and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) did not practice. Defensive end Romello Height had surgery on his hand on Tuesday but has not been ruled out for the game this weekend.
