49ers optimistic Armstead will play after second missed practice

Share

Defensive lineman Arik Armstead missed his second consecutive day of practice with a foot injury, but the 49ers are optimistic he will not be impacted Sunday night against the Denver Broncos.

“I think he'll be alright,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said this week.

All signs continue to point to tight end George Kittle making his season debut after going through his second consecutive limited practice of the week. Kittle sat out the first two games of the season due to a groin injury.

The 49ers added backup offensive tackle Colton McKivitz to the team’s practice report after he sat out Thursday's work with an ankle injury.

San Francisco does not expect to have the services of offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill (hamstring), running back Ty Davis-Price (ankle) or tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) for Sunday’s game.

Here is a look at both team’s practice participation reports from Thursday:
