Injury Notes
Fred Warner and George Kittle's Status: Fred Warner and George Kittle returned to practice for the first time this week after sustaining injuries in last Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Warner has been recovering from an ankle injury, while Kittle has been managing a rib issue. Their practice participation this week is a positive sign, but both remain listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC West showdown.
Kalia Davis Making Progress: Defensive tackle Kalia Davis practiced for the third consecutive day after his practice window was opened earlier this week. His recovery from August knee surgery seems to be going well, and he is eligible to be activated from the injured reserve list.
Jacob Cowing's Return to Practice: Wide receiver Jacob Cowing also made his first practice appearance of the week, continuing his recovery from a shoulder injury.
Positive News for Jordan Elliott and Dee Winters: The good news is that defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and linebacker Dee Winters are not listed on the injury report, signaling they are ready to play. Elliott had been recovering from a knee injury, while Winters was dealing with an ankle issue.
Below are Friday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Cardinals, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
