The 49ers are a little banged up entering a Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Wednesday’s practice participation report featured six players out, but there was some good news with wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud back in practice.
Among those missing were defensive tackle Arik Armstead (foot, knee), right guard Spencer Burford (knee), tight end Ross Dwelley (ankle), cornerback Darrell Luter (hamstring), running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) and left tackle Trent Williams who got a veteran rest day.
Armstead’s foot injury is lingering from last week, but the knee is a knew ailment he sustained in the team’s Week 13 win over the Eagles. His status for Sunday is in doubt and head coach Kyle Shanahan said he could miss a week or two.
Burford has been dealing with a knee injury since the lead up to Week 12 and while he played Sunday in Philadelphia it’s unclear if he’ll be able to suit up against Seattle. He missed the Week 12 game vs. the Seahawks and it may turn out he misses the second one as well.
For Mitchell it doesn’t sound like he’s dealing with any kind of long-term injury. Shanahan indicated he’s still sore from Sunday’s game. With Tyrion Davis-Price no longer on the team, the club’s RB depth would be thin if Mitchell can’t go.
McCloud did practice Friday before the Eagles game in a limited fashion, but he didn’t play as he works through a rib injury. Another limited session Wednesday is a good sign that he’s trending the right direction.
