The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 13 contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Arik Armstead participated in his third consecutive practice, including last Friday's session. The defensive lineman is close to returning to the football field. He has not played since Week 4 due to foot and ankle injuries.

After practice, Armstead told reporters that he plans to play against the Dolphins. That's fantastic news for the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense.


Running back Christian McCaffrey joined practice for the first time this week. He missed Wednesday's session due to "some irritation" in his knee. After practice, McCaffrey told reporters, "I feel great," essentially indicating that he, too, intends to be on the field on Sunday against the Dolphins.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu returned to practice after missing Wednesday's session due to a knee issue. Guard Spencer Burford also returned to practice. He could not join his teammates on Wednesday after suffering an ankle sprain against the New Orleans Saints.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel did not practice after being limited on Wednesday due to a quad injury.


Below are Thursday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Dolphins, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
