Tuipulotu (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Tuipulotu was limited in practice all week, though it's unclear when he suffered the injury. Entering the final year of his rookie deal, the 24-year-old edge rusher was held out of camp early last month as he was seeking an extension. Tuipulotu piled up 13.0 sacks last regular season to lead the Chargers.

Williams (Achilles) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Williams was limited at practice all week as he continues to recover from the torn Achilles he suffered late last season, and he'll have to wait at least one more week to make his 2026 debut. In his stead, Kei'Trel Clark could see a small uptick in snaps.

Chaisson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Chaisson was a limited participant in all three Week 1 practice sessions. Despite being unable to log a full practice, the linebacker has been cleared of any injury designation and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest. Chaisson will be the starting edge alongside Odafe Oweh due to Dorance Armstrong's (suspension) absence.

Farrell secured both of his targets for 19 yards in the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in Week 1.

With George Kittle still working his way into game shape off last season's torn Achilles and Jake Tonges going down with a knee injury in the second quarter, Farrell ended up playing 46 of 65 offensive snaps and ran 19 pass routes to Kittle's 17. With Tonges looking at an extended absence, Farrell is going to see more action as the TE2.

Taylor-Demerson (ribs) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Taylor-Demerson missed practice Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session Wednesday, and he'll now have to spend Sunday on the sidelines. In his absence, 2025 seventh-rounder Kitan Crawford might get a couple more chances to rotate in on defense.

Payne (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Payne was a limited participant in Thursday's session but is now all set for Sunday's game. The nose tackle has cleared himself of any issues and will start alongside Javon Kinlaw and Tim Settle as the Commanders open the campaign with a road clash against a divisional opponent.

Higbee secured both of his targets for 12 yards in the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

Higbee played just 12 offensive snaps and ran only five routes on 28 dropbacks by the Rams. He was well behind both Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson in terms of playing time and routes at tight end for Los Angeles. Higbee would need an injury ahead of him to gain fantasy relevance.

Greenard (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Greenard was upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after being absent from the Wednesday and Thursday sessions. The linebacker's participation level is promising for a potential Week 2 season debut against the Titans.

Robinson caught two passes (on three targets) for 50 yards and a touchdown during the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in Week 1.

Robinson snuck past the Rams secondary midway through the second quarter to haul in a 39-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy and give the 49ers a 10-7 lead, with the former adding an 11-yard grab early in the third frame that led to a Mike Evans two-yard touchdown catch three plays later. Robinson played 41 of the 49ers' 65 snaps on offense (63.1 percent), which was second-most among San Francisco wideouts behind Evans (49) and ahead of Deebo Samuel (27). Robinson's extended snap count was largely due to rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter, and the former could operate in an elevated role in Week 2 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 20 if Stribling is unable to play.

Moore (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus New Orleans.

Moore was limited at practice earlier in the week with a hamstring issue, but he was able to log a full practice Friday and will be available in Week 1. Detroit used a second-round pick on the rookie back in April, so it wouldn't be surprising if he got significant playing time right away.
