49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk Clears Concussion Protocol for Week 3 vs. Cardinals

Practice observers reported he shed the no-contact jersey Friday, signaling return to full availability.

Overview

  • Beat reporters Matt Maiocco and Matt Barrows reported that Kyle Juszczyk and Siran Neal have cleared the concussion protocol and are expected to play Sunday.
  • Neither player wore the blue no-contact jersey in Friday’s session, a visible marker of the final stage of the NFL’s return-to-play process.
  • Juszczyk’s practice ramp-up this week went from no participation Wednesday to limited Thursday to full participation Friday.
  • He sustained a concussion in the Week 2 win over the Saints and was ruled out for the remainder of that game.
  • Juszczyk’s return restores a trusted lead blocker and receiving outlet for San Francisco’s offense for the home matchup against Arizona at Levi’s Stadium.
