The 49ers on Thursday during their Super Bowl by week held a practice after not holding one Wednesday. Since they didn’t take the field for a Wednesday session they only issued a projected practice report, but that report had more good news than the one they issued following Thursday’s practice.
San Francisco still listed tight end George Kittle as a non-participant with a toe injury. That’s not a huge surprise since he’s day-to-day and time off makes more sense to ensure he’s healthy in time for the Super Bowl on Feb. 11. They also listed defensive tackle Arik Armstead as a non-participant because of foot and knee injuries. He was a full participant on the projected Wednesday report.
It’s unclear whether Armstead had some sort of setback or if he just got an additional day off, but an absence after being listed as a full go is not a particularly positive sign.
The rest of the report looked the same, although Trent Williams was out due to rest Thursday.
Linebacker Oren Burks (shoulder) and cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) were still limited, while defensive tackle Kalia Davis (ankle) was still a full participant as he aims to be activated off Injured Reserve. His activation may come down to how Armstead’s health shakes out over the next week.
