49ers-Saints Injury Report: No Arik Armstead at practice; Deebo Samuel, Samson Ebukam limited
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 12 contest against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The 49ers held a light practice on Wednesday, a precaution given the quick turnaround from Monday night’s game in Mexico City against the Arizona Cardinals. The team didn’t arrive back in the Bay Area until 6:15 a.m. on Tuesday and pushed the start time for Wednesday’s practice back to 4:03 p.m.
“We’re starting a lot later, and we’ll just walk-through today,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said before practice. “And we’ve got to mix in Thanksgiving a little bit on Thursday, so we’ll dial things back a little bit for that also.”
Wednesday’s practice took place inside Levi’s Stadium, something that doesn’t occur too often.
On Monday night, the 49ers were without defensive linemen Arik Armstead and Samson Ebukam. Both were inactive. Armstead has not played since Week 4 due to foot and ankle injuries. He did not practice on Wednesday. Ebukam is attempting to return from a quadriceps injury and was limited.
Also limited was wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who was not mentioned by Shanahan before practice. The 49ers gave veteran tackle Trent Williams the day off.
Below are Wednesday’s practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Saints, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
