The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with two injuries in the trenches as they prepare to travel to the East Coast to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Arik Armstead (foot) did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday but did return in a limited capacity for Friday’s training. Running back Jordan Mason and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III were also in attendance to finish the week with San Francisco. The three of players will enter the weekend as doubtful to play on Sunday.
Right guard Spencer Burford (knee), who missed the 49ers’ Thanksgiving night game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a knee injury, was limited in practice for the majority of the week.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke briefly in his final news conference of the week about the enthusiasm and confidence the 49ers felt heading into their last meeting with the Eagles and how the emotions are similar this time around.
“Yeah, it’s very rare that we haven’t felt that way,” Shanahan admitted. “We were on a big win streak at the time, and you were in the NFC Championship Game.” We felt the same way coming into the game as they did, and most likely so did the two AFC teams. At that point, everyone is pretty confident.”
