Playing Sunday Armstead (abdomen) is listed as active Sunday in Philadelphia.

Impact The 49ers managed Armstead's practice reps this week, holding him out Wednesday before he logged a pair of limited sessions to wrap it up. After getting through a pregame workout unscathed, the pass rusher will be out there against an Eagles offensive line that allowed just one sack of Jalen Hurts in Week 1.

Questionable for Week 2 The 49ers listed Armstead (abdomen) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After not practicing Wednesday, Armstead was able to work in a limited capacity Thursday and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated earlier in the week that he is confident the 27-year-old will be available for Week 2.

Practices as limited participant Armstead (abdomen) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism in Armstead's availability for Week 2 after the defensive end sat out Wednesday's practice, so it's not a major surprise to see him back on the field. The 27-year-old could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles if he's able to practice fully Friday.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said he is confident that Armstead will be available Sunday, but he won't practice Wednesday out of an abundance of caution. The 27-year-old defensive end dealt with a groin injury during training camp, but he wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Week 1 and played 73 total snaps.

Nursing groin injury Armstead was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to a groin injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There's no reason at this point to believe the 49ers are not just erring on the side of caution with Armstead in order to avoid a lingering issue. Still, the veteran's status should certainly be monitored in the immediate future. After a career year in 2019, he regressed from 10 sacks to just 3.5 this past season. Still, he projects to be a key cog on the team's defensive line in 2021.
