OCTOBER 10, 2021 • 49ERS.COM
Eno Benjamin - Active for first time Benjamin (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the 49ers.
Impact For the first time in his career, Benjamin is active for an NFL game after the Cardinals made him a seventh-round pick in the 2020 draft. He may just be an emergency option, though, after lead running back Chase Edmonds dealt with a hamstring injury of his own during Week 5 prep. If the status quo holds, Edmonds and James Conner will be the primary RBs for Arizona, while Jonathan Ward serves on special teams and Benjamin waits for his first snap as a pro.

Kelvin Beachum - Active against 49ers Beachum (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against 49ers.
Impact Beachum had missed two games in a row but practiced on a limited basis this week and that was enough to confirm him as active. His presence would provide a boost to the offensive line.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Maxx Williams - Dressing Sunday Williams (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.
Impact Williams has put himself on the fantasy radar of late by hauling in all 15 targets for 179 yards and one TD over the last three games. His status for Week 5 was in question after he followed a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen in advance of this game. Now that he's available to play Sunday, Williams will aim to produce again versus a San Francisco defense that has allowed 7.2 YPT to tight ends this season.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Wilson - Not playing against San Francisco Wilson (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact Wilson played at least 89 percent of the defensive snaps in three of his previous four contests, but he's now set to miss his first game of the campaign. Due to this, the Cardinals will be particularly thin at the cornerback position, so names such as Antonio Hamilton and Jace Whittaker could see an increase in snaps in this one.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chase Edmonds - Suiting up Week 5 Edmonds (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers.
Impact Edmonds didn't get on the practice field until Friday, when his reps were limited. At the time, coach Kliff Kingsbury called Edmonds a game-time decision, but the fourth-year running back seemingly has progressed enough to play through his shoulder injury. With Edmonds in the lineup Week 5, the Cardinals likely will utilize the same 1A and 1B backfield situation (Edmonds and James Conner) as the first four games of the campaign.

Chase Edmonds - Expected to play Edmonds (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Edmonds took a designation into the weekend after he returned to a limited practice Friday following missed sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Confirmation of Edmonds' status will arrive upon the release of the Cardinals' inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 ET p.m. kickoff. If Edmonds ends up limited or out versus San Francisco, James Conner would be in line for added backfield work.

Impact Murray was slated to miss a second straight game due to a back injury, but he'll have several additional weeks to recover after he was placed on IR. Kelvin Beachum (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, and Josh Jones will likely fill in at right tackle if Beachum is held out.

Kelvin Beachum - Questionable for Week 5 Beachum (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Beachum missed the last two games due to a rib injury but was a limited participant in practice this week. If he's unable to play against San Francisco, Josh Jones will likely shift to right tackle since Justin Murray (back) is on injured reserve.
