Kyle Shanahan ‘would be surprised’ if Arik Armstead plays against the Seahawks

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan gave a list of players who won’t practice on Wednesday:

DT Arik Armstead (foot, knee)

RB Elijah Mitchell (knee)

TE Ross Dwelley (ankle)

RG Spencer Burford (knee)

CB Darrell Luter (hamstring)

Wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud is limited with a rib injury.

Shanahan said he’d be “surprised” if Armstead plays against the Seahawks on Sunday. The good news is that Armstead’s injury doesn’t sound like it’ll be long-term. If Arik needs rest, early December is the time for him to heal as the Niners need one of their best players healthy for a January playoff run.
