The 49ers had a light walkthrough practice Monday where several starters, including Deebo Samuel, Kyle Juszczyk, and Jason Verrett. Defensive tackle Arik Armstead, who hasn’t played since October 3, was not on the practice field.
Armstead has been recovering from an ankle and a foot injury — plantar fasciitis on the same foot, to be specific — that has kept him sidelined for over a month. According to NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan, who spoke with Armstead in the locker room Monday, Armstead’s return is “coming soon.” Arik added, “I was hoping to be on the earlier side of returning, but I’m still on schedule.
