San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Tuesday that running back Matt Breida is day-to-day after he aggravated his ankle again on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
"Day-to-day," the coach said, not "week-to-week," which would indicate there is a chance Breida is available on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, however, reported this morning that Breida could miss a week or two after aggravating the ankle sprain, and is seeking a second opinion. It's an injury that put the running back's status into question during the 49ers' and Cardinals' first meeting in Week 9.
Meanwhile, #49ers RB Matt Breida aggravated a low-ankle sprain, and while he sent out the results for a second opinion, sounds like he'll only miss a week or two. https://t.co/YvDLKa3D1C
Breida, the 49ers' leading rusher, has 542 yards on 109 carries with a rushing touchdown through nine games and five starts this season. He also has 16 receptions for 110 yards and a receiving touchdown.
The 49ers' first practice of the week is scheduled for today at 2:10 p.m. PT. That's when we will learn if Breida is healthy enough to at least get a little bit of work in as the team prepares for the Cardinals.
