Arizona Cardinals rookie cornerback Will Johnson (groin) was a nonparticipant during Wednesday’s practice ahead of his team’s Week 3 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Quarterback Brock Purdy of the 49ers returned to practice after missing one game with a toe injury. He was listed as limited with a toe/left shoulder injury designation. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy has a ‘chance’ to suit up on Sunday.
Seven Cardinals players were listed as limited practice participants, with a pair of offensive linemen Paris Johnson Jr. and Will Hernandez dealing with respective knee injuries and tight end Tip Reiman still managing a foot injury that sidelined him in Arizona’s Week 2 win over Carolina.
One of the three top cornerbacks with an injury scare against Carolina, Max Melton avoided being put on the injured reserve and instead was listed as limited with a knee.
Linebacker Cody Simon (concussion), who like Reiman missed action against the Panthers last week, was limited in practice and defensive lineman Dante Stills was limited with an elbow injury. Offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum sat out of Wednesday’s work for rest.
On the 49ers’ side of things, they had eight DNPs, featuring defensive end Nick Bosa (rest), fullback Kyle Jusczyk (concussion) and Christian McCaffrey (calf/rest).
San Francisco offensive tackle Trent Williams was also among those DNPs for a knee and rest.
