49ers-Cardinals injury report: Pierre Garçon not expected to play

The 49ers do not expect starting wide receiver Pierre Garçon to be available for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a knee issue.

Neither Garçon nor center Weston Richburg took part in practice Friday. The 49ers list Richburg, along with running back Matt Breida and cornerback Richard Sherman as questionable.

Breida (ankle) and Sherman (calf) returned to limited practice on Friday.

The 49ers have a quick turnaround in Week 9. After playing at Arizona on Sunday, the 49ers return to action next Thursday to face the Raiders in Week 10. It is possible that players, such as Breida, Sherman and Richburg, will play in just one of those two games.

Garçon has battled knee and shoulder issues for at least three weeks. His production has tailed off from a year ago when he caught 40 passes for 500 yards through eight games before going on injured reserve with a neck injury. This season, Garçon has just 21 catches for 230 yards in seven games.
