Marco Wilson - Listed as questionable Wilson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Wilson trended in the wrong direction this week, as he fully participated in Wednesday's practice before he was limited Thursday and held out of Friday's practice. If the 22-year-old is cleared to play Sunday, he should see an increased role with Byron Murphy (ribs) unavailable. However, Tay Gowan should receive additional playing time if Wilson is sidelined.

Byron Murphy Jr. - Unavailable Sunday Murphy (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Murphy didn't participate in practice this week, and he'll be forced to miss his first game of the season. Antonio Hamilton (ankle) and Marco Wilson (ribs) should see increased usage if they're cleared to play against San Francisco.

Eno Benjamin - Nursing injury in Week 5 Benjamin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Benjamin has either been a healthy inactive or has dressed without playing in each of the Cardinals' 20 regular-season games since he was drafted in the seventh round in 2020, but for the first time in his career, he could be at risk of missing a contest for an injury-related reason. He was a limited participant throughout the week due to the hamstring issue.

Maxx Williams - Gets questionable tag for Week 5 Williams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact He'll take the injury tag into the weekend after he was limited in practices Thursday and Friday. With the Cardinals' top backup tight end, Darrell Daniels, on the reserve/COVID-19 list, third-stringer Demetrius Harris would pick up the Week 5 start if Williams ends up on the inactive list Sunday.

Chase Edmonds - Truly questionable for Week 5 Edmonds (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports...
Impact The official designation became a foregone conclusion when head coach Kliff Kingsbury called Edmonds a game-time decision earlier Friday after the running back returned to practice (he sat out sessions Wednesday and Thursday). If Edmonds ends up on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, James Conner could find himself in a not-at-all-unfamiliar three-down role. Reserve Eno Benjamin (hamstring) is also questionable, leaving Conner and Jonathan Ward as the truly healthy backfield options for the Cards. Edmonds, if he plays, is still probably the safest bet for production, while Conner has been more of an all-or-nothing fantasy play due to his reliance on goal-line touchdowns.

Three Big Things: 49ers Week, Round One A look at the top storylines for Sunday's game
OCTOBER 8, 2021 • AZCARDINALS.COM
Chase Edmonds - Headed for game-time decision Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Edmonds (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Sunday against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Edmonds' return to practice Friday, though likely in a limited capacity, gives him a shot to avoid his first missed game since November 2019. Shared workloads have helped Edmonds stay healthy since then, and it's possible the Cardinals give him fewer snaps and touches than usual if he suits up this weekend. He's been sharing work with James Conner, who is tied for second in the league with four rushing touchdowns despite averaging only 43 rushing yards and 6.5 receiving yards per game. Conner should be good for more than that if Edmonds ends up on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chase Edmonds - Returns to practice Edmonds (shoulder) is on the field for Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact A return to practice after missing sessions Wednesday and Thursday should give Edmonds a shot to make it back for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If not, James Conner could be headed for a three-down role, with Jonathan Ward and Eno Benjamin (hamstring) providing depth. The Cardinals also have Tavien Feaster on their practice squad, but Conner and Edmonds are the only backs that have taken touches for the team this season.
