Running back Matt Breida returned to limited practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable for the 49ers’ game Monday night against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Breida sustained a left ankle sprain on the final play of the first quarter in the 49ers’ 28-18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. He did not practice Thursday or Friday. He left the facility on Friday due to an illness.
A decision will be made by 1 p.m. Monday whether Breida can play or whether the 49ers must promote running back Jeff Wilson from the practice squad for depth. Alfred Morris and Raheem Mostert are the other two running backs on the 49ers' 53-man roster.
