Significant injuries

While this isn’t injury related, there has been a key shift on the 49ers roster. On Oct. 13, linebacker NaVorro Bowman was released from the team. Big news, considering Bowman had spent the past seven-plus seasons on the team.

Linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong has played well over the past couple games, and of course, there’s rookie linebacker Reuben Foster lurking in the shadows. And it looks like Foster is close to returning from his ankle injury:

Reuben Foster and Eric Reid are questionable to play on Sunday.

Kyle Juszczyk is OUT.
