No. 3: CB Rashard Robinson

Rookie cornerback Rashard Robinson, who has missed time with a knee injury, managed to be limited in practice this week, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee.

Robinson was one of the few 49ers standouts earlier this season before getting hurt. With the injury somewhat behind him, it will be interesting to see how well he responds to facing off against Arizona’s passing game

The rookie had two tackles in Week 5 — the last time these two teams played — but was mostly known for running into the kicker on a field-goal try, which subsequently resulted in a Cardinals touchdown.

One might expect gaffes like that from a first-year player. But his coverage skills will be what’s needed.

Hopefully they’ll be up to par.
