49ers vs. Panthers: Previewing Week 2 for San Francisco
By Peter Panacy
49ers Injury Report
The 49ers have some notable injuries heading into Week 2. Here’s the list, courtesy of the team’s website and Pro Football Reference:
- DE Arik Armstead (shoulder, knee), limited practice — questionable
- LB Nick Bellore (knee), limited practice — out
- DB Marcus Cromartie (ankle), limited practice — questionable
- CB Chris Davis (hamstring), limited practice — questionable
- DT Quinton Dial (knee), limited practice — questionable
- DT Glenn Dorsey (knee), limited practice — questionable
- CB Keith Reaser (ankle), limited practice — questionable
- G Andrew Tiller (ankle), limited practice — questionable
- OL Anthony Davis (concussion), full practice — out
The good news is each player on this list was a practice participant this week, albeit in limited fashion.
Second-year defensive end Arik Armstead missed the majority of the preseason with a shoulder injury but managed to impose his will in Week 1. The same could be said of fellow defensive lineman Quinton Dial, who graded out with a plus-82.6 (zero-to-100 scale), per Pro Football Focus last week.
Right guard Andrew Tiller suffered a minor ankle injury against the Rams but returned to action. Should he be unable to go, backup linemen Anthony Davis and Marcus Martin may be in line to step into a starting role.
Update: Davis has been ruled out for Sunday’s contest, per Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News.
