Nick Wagoner ESPN Staff Writer
49ers TE George Kittle took a big hit from Cardinals S Budda Baker near the end of the first half that left him hobbling to the sideline and heading to the locker room before the rest of the team. Medical staff appeared to be evaluating his left knee. But Kittle returned to the field with his teammates to open the second half and looked to be moving around well, even doing some jogging.
Nick Wagoner ESPN Staff Writer
The 49ers controlled the action for most of the first half against the Cardinals but the scoreboard doesn't really show it as they lead just 13-10 going into the locker room. Some sloppy mistakes, including having a punt blocked, and struggles on third down have prevented the Niners from extending their lead and the Cardinals found some rhythm on offense by going without a huddle. For 49ers to start 1-0, they have to be more efficient on third down and less reliant on just hitting big plays.

With Ben Garland (ankle) out because of an ankle injury, the 49ers are expected to start Hroniss Grasu at center with Daniel Brunskill at right guard. Grasu was called up from the practice squad on Saturday. Something to monitor as the Niners have struggled a bit with those two positions during training camp.

49ers place WR Samuel (foot) on injured reserve
The 49ers placed wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who is working his way back from a Jones fracture in his left foot, on injured reserve Saturday.
Nick Wagoner ESPN Staff Writer
As expected, the 49ers will be without WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday against Arizona as he continues to work his way back from a Jones fracture in his left foot. Samuel did not practice all week and was ruled out Friday. Without Samuel, the Niners will likely turn to Kendrick Bourne and Dante Pettis to pick up the slack. Rookie Brandon Aiyuk could also figure into the mix but Aiyuk is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. Aiyuk practiced on a limited basis Thursday and Friday.
