Impact The veteran defensive lineman popped up on San Francisco's injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to foot and knee issues, but it seems as if his injuries won't stop him from suiting up for the Super Bowl.

Good to go for divisional round Armstead (foot/knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus Green bay.

Impact Armstead was sidelined for the final five games of the season while tending to foot and knee issues. The stalwart defensive tackle logged a full practice for the second day in a row Thursday after opening the week of practice as a limited participant, and he'll be ready to go for the 49ers' opening playoff game. Armstead logged 27 tackles and five sacks over the first 12 games of the season, and he should reprise a primary role alongside Javon Hargrave and Sebastian Joseph-Day.

Full practice Wednesday Armstead (foot/knee) was a full participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Armstead opened the week as a limited participant Tuesday, but Wednesday's full workload dispels any concern for his availability for Saturday's matchup with the Packers in the divisional round. The defensive tackle missed the 49ers' final five games of the regular season while nursing a foot injury and he appears set to make his return to the field versus Green Bay.

Opens week with limited work Armstead (foot/knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Armstead missed the 49ers' last five games due to a foot issue and it seems as if he may be nearing a return to the field after Tuesday's limited session. The 30-year-old would be a huge addition to a San Francisco defense tasked with stopping a Packers offense that's rushed for over 100 yards in each of their last four games in the divisional round, so his practice participation will be something to look out for over the next few days.
