ARIK ARMSTEAD NEWS

Uncertain for Week 4 Armstead (foot) practiced in limited fashion Saturday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Armstead failed to practice in any capacity during the week's first two sessions. However, he'll have the chance to return from a one-game absence and retake his prominent role along the San Francisco defensive line.

Still not practicing Friday Armstead (foot) didn't practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Armstead remained sidelined for a second straight practice due to a foot issue that cost him Week 3, Barrow does note in his report that the defensive tackle was going through his most extensive rehab routine since he suffered the injury. It appears Armstead is trending in the right direction, but he'll likely miss a second straight game if he doesn't return to practice Saturday. Javon Kinlaw (knee) is also dealing with an injury, so San Francisco may be down its top two defensive tackles for Monday's divisional clash with the Rams.

Unable to practice Thursday Armstead (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Armstead suffered an unspecified foot issue during the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Seahawks. The defensive end was unable to practice the week leading up to Week 3 and ultimately couldn't play against the Broncos. Expect Hassan Ridgeway to continue to see plenty of snaps until Armstead is able to return.

Sidelined against Broncos Armstead (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Armstead didn't practice at all during the week, so it's not particularly surprising that he is unable to suit up. Hassan Ridgeway will likely take on a heavy workload in Armstead's absence.

Questionable for Sunday Armstead (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Armstead didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. If he's sidelined, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway would be candidates for increased roles along San Francisco's defensive line.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Wednesday Armstead (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Armstead appears to have picked up an unspecified foot issue at some point during Sunday's 27-7 victory against Seattle. While the 28-year-old defensive tackle still managed to record one tackle while playing 68 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps in Week 2, it is possible that he suffered this injury near the end of this game. Should Armstead continue to miss practice throughout this week, Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway would be next in line to start during this Sunday's game against Denver.

May return for joint practices 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Armstead (knee) could return for joint practices with Minnesota next week, Brian Murphy of KNBR 104.5 reports.

Impact Armstead suffered a knee sprain during one of the first practices of training camp and has remained sidelined since. However, he's slowly working his way back with light rehab work and could return to full practices by as soon as next week. The 28-year-old racked up six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles over 17 games last season.

Working to the side in practice Armstead (knee) was seen running to the side early on during San Francisco's practice Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Armstead is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a knee sprain during the 49ers' practice last week Wednesday, and this light work off to the side is an encouraging sign for his overall health. The 28-year-old racked up six sacks and a career-high 63 tackles over 17 games last season, so it is likely that the team will take every precaution as they work him back onto the field heading into the regular season.

Hurts knee in practice Armstead (knee) suffered a sprained knee Wednesday and is expected to miss multiple weeks of practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Though fortunately it's just a sprain for Armstead, the Niners will presumably play things safe with their 28-year-old defensive lineman. Samson Ebukam and 2022 second-round pick Drake Jackson should see an increase in reps at camp until Armstead returns to his place along San Francisco's intimidating front four ahead of Week 1.
