Remains sidelined Sunday Armstead (foot/ankle) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

Impact Armstead will miss his seventh game in a row due to a lingering foot/ankle injury.

With Armstead out, practice-squad elevation T.Y. McGill will serve as San Francisco's only available defensive tackle behind starters Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway.

Likely out Week 12 Armstead (foot/ankle) is considered doubtful to play Sunday versus the Saints, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Armstead has yet to play since suffering a foot/ankle injury during San Francisco's Week 4 win over the Rams, and he appears set to miss his seventh game in a row versus New Orleans. As a result, expect Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway to once more serve as the 49ers' top defensive tackles Week 12.

Won't play Monday Armstead (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Arizona, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Armstead will miss a sixth straight game due to a foot injury after failing to practice during Week 11 prep. In his extended absence, Hassan Ridgeway and Kevin Givens have garnered increased roles.

Sidelined again Friday Armstead (foot/ankle) did not practice Friday, 49ers Webzone reports.

Impact Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4, though coach Kyle Shanahan began the week with some optimism that Armstead would be able to suit up Monday against the Cardinals. However, after logging two DNPs, it appears that Armstead is trending toward another absence. He'll have one more opportunity to log a practice before his status for Week 11 is determined.

Unable to practice Thursday Armstead (foot/leg) was unable to participate in the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4 primarily due to a right foot injury. Despite the 28-year-old's extended absence, coach Kyle Shanahan shared earlier in the week that the defensive end has a chance to play in Week 11, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Armstead will likely need to log at least one limited practice before Monday night if he hopes to suit up against Arizona in Mexico City.

Status for Week 11 uncertain San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Armstead (foot/leg) "does have a chance" to play Week 11 against Arizona but was noncommittal about whether the defensive lineman...

Impact Armstead hasn't played since Week 4 as he's been dealing with a hairline fracture in his left fibula along with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Though it's encouraging that Shanahan said Armstead could play this week, it's not clear how likely that scenario is given that a return-to-practice timeline doesn't appear to be set. Armstead will likely slide back into a starting role whenever he's ready to return.

Ruled out for Sunday Armstead (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Armstead has been sidelined since Week 4 while dealing with a plantar fascia on his right foot to go along with a hairline fracture of his left fibula, according to San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan. The 28-year-old also remained out of practice this week, and his timeline for a return is still unclear. In his absence, expect Hassan Ridgeway and Kevin Givens to once again start at defensive tackle this Sunday against the Chargers.

Still not practicing Armstead (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Impact Armstead has been nursing a foot injury since early in the campaign, though he tried to play through it in Week 4 against the Rams. The defensive lineman hasn't seen action since, and he may be in line to miss more time given confirmation by head coach Kyle Shanahan that Armstead is suffering from "a stress reaction and hairline fracture of his left fibula and plantar fascia on his right foot," per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Hassan Ridgeway is likely to continue filling in for however long Armstead remains out.

Not practicing Armstead (foot) was a DNP in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It's not surprising Armstead missed Wednesday's practice as he's been dealing with this foot injury since Week 3. The 6-foot-7 defensive tackle will have two days of practice before missing Sunday's game against the Rams, which would be his fourth consecutive game out.
