Ruled out

TE Zach Ertz (knee), OL D.J. Humphries (back), CB Byron Murphy (back)

Ertz is done for the year and he will be placed on injured reserve by Monday afternoon.

Humphries and Murphy were both unable to practice at all this week and will miss their second game in a row.

Josh Jones will start in place of Humphries at left tackle, while with no Murphy, the cornerback situation will have Antonio Hamilton and Marco Wilson, with Trayvon Mullen getting playing time as well.

Questionable

OL Max Garcia (shoulder), WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring), QB Kyler Murray (hamstring)

Garcia was limited all week but could end up starting at right guard. Murray was limited all week. Whether he plays will come down to how well he moves around over the next couple of days. Hopkins was limited the last two days after sitting out Thursday.

Kliff Kingsbury didn’t seem to think Hopkins’ hamstring was as bad as last season when he missed games.

No game designation

S Budda Baker (ankle), LB Markus Golden (illness), QB Colt McCoy (knee), K Matt Prater (hip, illness)

They were all participants at least one of the final days of practice. So if Murray can’t play, McCoy is good to go.

49ers' final injury report game designations

Ruled out

  • DT Arik Armstead (foot, ankle)

Questionable

  • DE Samson Ebukam (quad, Achilles)
